NTP Pool Reaches 1000 Servers, Needs More
hgerstung writes "This weekend the NTP Pool Project reached the milestone of 1000 servers in the pool. That means that in less than two years the number of servers has doubled. This is happy news, but the 'time backbone' of the Internet, provided for free by volunteers operating NTP servers, requires still more servers in order to cope with the demand. Millions of users are synchronizing their PC's system clock from the pool and a number of popular Linux distributions are using the NTP pool servers as a time source in their default ntp configuration. If you have a static IP address and your PC is always connected to the Internet, please consider joining the pool. Bandwidth is not an issue and you will barely notice the extra load on your machine."
I for one.. *want* to be welcomed as a time-wielding overlord!

Tedious Bloggy Stuff - hooray?
Just thow your server into the pool and forget about it.
Isn't that a bit extreme? Should I maybe waterproof it first?

Have they asked the Storm network operators? I think they could donate a few thousand machines from around the globe pretty easily.
I modded this post Off Topic and I meant it!

Nah. I hear liquid cooling is great for overclocking.

There must be a joke hidden in this sentence somewhere...
