it's the fact that apache was running with a maxthread count of 150.. being the site's owner makes you look like a huge idiot in public when you get/.ed..;)
for those of you playing at home: it's not EDIC - you're reading ADIC, the maker of the tape library to the left of the 15k's..
at any rate, i've upped the thread count over and over, it keeps pegging - i think the limit now is my upstream bandwidth since the load on the machine is negligable.. sorry folks!
seriously though, it's a big joke meant for a few individuals.. the fact that one of those individuals slashdotted me means everyone here is seeing it out of context..
rather than criticise, i'm thinking everyone should have a laugh and move on to the next shiny object du jour..
the term 'casemod' was tongue-in-cheek - i don't consider myself a 'case modder' by any stretch of the imagination..
we're just making things with light!
the problem with my site is the fact that i never increased the apache server count, so you guys pegged it and it's been refusing connections all day.. sorry about that.. if i had any idea it was going to be this popular i may have bumped it up:)
anyhow, obviously the web site isn't running on those 15ks - if you look closely at the pictures, they're not even plugged in yet..
some answers:
1. we're not a dot-com..
2. we just took delivery of the 15k's and the adic 10k and decided something needed to be done to spruce them up..
3. it was my bosses idea, actually, he paid for it..
4. we're pretty good friends with sun, i doubt they'll have a problem with it..
5. calling this a 'casemod' is a bit of a joke, i know it's not modding anything in the true spirit of the "case modder", just velcroing lights to it.. like i'm going to take a dremel to something that costs this much - even we have limits.. so sorry for the bruised egos, folks..
6. lots of people are taking this far too seriously..
7. for the network guys - the cisco gear is maxed out, the other blades haven't arrived yet.. the one that's mostly populated will have fiber in the unused areas, the second will be a warm standby copy.. my comment of 'boring' is a dig at the network guy, as this whole thing was meant for my co-workers and close friends, not general consuption..
8. we plan on putting a camera in the adic to watch the robot..
9. these machines are incredibly dense, you can see from the picture, so really the only thing we have to work with are the doors.. even if you think it's lame, you have to admit it's pretty cool..
10. we're still debating about the colors..
thanks a lot to those of you who get it and think this is fun, since that's all it's intended to be.. it's not a folly of having too much money or a pinhead boss, it's just a bunch of unix dorks having fun before we plug the thing in..

thanks very much - my site isn't the most well equipped for /. traffic..
jealous you didn't do it and get slashdotted?
seriously though, it's a big joke meant for a few individuals.. the fact that one of those individuals slashdotted me means everyone here is seeing it out of context..
rather than criticise, i'm thinking everyone should have a laugh and move on to the next shiny object du jour..
truth be told the whole thing took me about 2 hours.. believe it or not..
