Stick to the manual, you Life!

I hate it when life doesn't follow the manuals. Just broke the brakes of my HC :( Lets go get a drink and forget it. Well of course it's worse to have a tumor, but i really hate, when o broke something trying to repair.

SWAP usage on Linux

Maybe you have never tested your system with more RAM, or maybe you are curious, whats the effect to feed a starving system. The system in this example had 1G RAM, it runs Oracle 10g server. This is a SWAP usage graph. On June i added 1 more G, and you can see the effect. It now uses 12..25M of SWAP memory compared to 500..700M. Less SWAP means less disk I/O. So lets feed our pure starving servers with more RAM.

Mr. Santa

I now know what its like to be Santa. I was there. Actually, not to confuse you, i was flying today. I was sitting in a glider, in my country it's deep autumn. And i saw that! I was flying at about 400 meters (1200 feet) and saw when snow dropped out of the cloud. That cloud came from north and i could see it touching ground 10 kilometers away from me. The snowflakes flew down like bees, in a long column. I hit it, its not wide, about 10-15 meters. For a few seconds windshield was covered with snow. Good feeling. Now i know what its like to be Santa, its not the presents and letters from children, its that feeling, when you see where snow comes from...
