Explaing to PHBs that computer services will take about half an hour to be on as usual, fruitlessly. Almost all of them younger to me by biological age. Even today I am doing that to my current boss who is biologically and technologically younger to me in FLOSS but elder to me in Micrsoft products. <rant> sigh... What all things a man has to do to keep his family afloat. I have strived to make it available as soon as I could boot at least one of those beasts as those fedora 3 and then Centos nodes. Well I am not managing those beasts after Jan 2008. So no bother at this point of time. This whole HA thing was between Aug 2005 to Dec 2008 in my stint when I had owned the process of camera ready publication using only F3 and CUPS which was released by Shri N. R. Narayanamurthy, (estwhile CEO, Infosys): http://vpmthane.org/pub%20-%20research%20vol%202005-6/home.htm and part during http://vpmthane.org/pub%20-%20research%20vol%202005-6/home.htm In the same timeframe I had presented some other papers too: http://orientalthane.com/abstracts.pdf http://orientalthane.com/Inst%20Abstract%202005.pdf and some few more forays into academia where I could not make way further due to lack of paper qualifications </rant> Oh! ignore those few silly articles by me in that. May I know if we have a centos-social list like IRC where we can rant about our experiences? Oh, some memories are so vivid and sometimes livid. Above IMHO, Regards, Rajagopal
