Oooo, I bet you could do some serious number crunching with one of these. Sure, it’s only built with 1.2 GHz processors, but you’ve got 96 of them packed in there! It’s a big hefty noisy power sucking beast, but I haven’t heard of anything else that gives you 110 GFlops of sustained computing power on your desktop.
Schweet.
I wonder where all those drives go…

New MT!
Fresh off 6A’s software mill is MT 3.16 boasting lots of fixes and code improvements.
Not a lot of changes or fixes that affect me significantly, although there are a few things that should keep newbies out of trouble.
- Authors can no longer delete their own accounts, which could result in disabled installations. (Seen more than a few people get nailed by this on the forums)
- Improved the application’s ability to guess the desired weblog URL and filesystem path in new weblog setup screen. (Should be very helpful for newbies and non-techies)
- On setup of dynamic rendering, Movable Type tries to create most of the pieces it needs (.htaccess, compiled-templates directory) on its own. Better error messages help the user create these pieces when Movable Type doesn’t have sufficient rights.
- Fixed a bug in which, given a large number of entries, rebuilds may time out when using dynamic templates (under dynamic publishing the FileInfo table is rebuilt, instead of pages on the filesystem). We are now doing these “rebuilds” in stages to prevent timeouts in the browser. (Always wondered what there was to rebuild for dynamic archives)
- Improved subcategory hierarchy display in the interface. Subcategories are displayed hierarchically in the following places: the Primary Category dropdown on the New Entry, Edit Entry and Quickpost screens, the category filter dropdown on the List Entries screen, the category filter and assignment dropdowns on the Power Edit screen and the popup category creation window.

Bai bai T3
Well, seems PalmOne has dropped the T3 from their Tungsten line. I have to say that since the T3, I’ve been decidely underwhelmed by PalmOne’s latest offerings. None of PalmOne’s current offerings really grab me or make me say “Ooooo, I need that!” like my Visor Platinum or T3 did. And with Sony out of the PDA market now, there isn’t much left to choose from. The T5 just seems a little too long and clunky to me, while the E2 just doesn’t seem to have the technical sleekness I’m looking for. The C is chubby looking but not for me. I just don’t need wireless and a dinky little keyboard in my PDA.
So what’s next? Buzz about the Life Drive says it should be coming out in the next week or so. It looks to be a bit of a chunky one if the renderings are accurate.
In the meantime, hopefully my T3 will last a good long time and something equally cool comes out by then.
GMail keeps growing and growing
Google Mail is up to 2089 MB plus change of storage, and still growing. Ever since April 1, the storage space counter they’ve had has been going up and up. Slower now than it was before. So how much higher will it go? Is it all real?
telnet atm.somebank.com:80
Web enabled ATMs. Running Windows no less. Can’t you just see the crackers rubbing their hands in glee over this? Plus an upgrade from DES to TripleDES! Woohoo!
Should be interesting to see how they work out and stand up to crackers.
