Booked it… Packed it… and…

…Were f00kin off!!

Today Gurgi-Girl and myself officially got our tickets to Australia and we leave for our new life on April 19th, 2007!

Bring it on!!!

We have just over 2 1/2 weeks to sort out what we are taking, what we are selling and what we are throwing away or donating to charity.

I have been busying myself preparing new nodes for The IND-Network Cluster ready for the move and I am now able to sell all my computers on eBay.

  • 4 Compaq Proliant 850R rackmount servers
  • 4 Dual Processor IBM Netfinity 5000 standalone servers
  • 1 Pentium Pro Industrial Server
  • 1 Fully loaded Compaq rackmount Drive Array with 7 SCSI drives
  • Various drives/spares/accessories

Some parts of my cluster I really want to keep so hopefully the above will raise enough cash for delivery, the most heavy item I want to hang on to is my uninterruptible power supply – battery backup device which is an older white/cream coloured version of the Smart APC 1000 UPS model.

So it’s busy busy busy while we prepare for leaving the UK.

About Martin Guppy

It was in my younger years, living in Kidderminster, England, UK, I picked up my first home computer - a Sinclair ZX Spectrum+ (1984). From that point on, I haven't been able to shake what seems to be my new found purpose. My 'hobby' has had me spend much of my life being surrounded by computers and gaining valuable knowledge through the art of trial and error. Thus leading me to developing Open Source Projects, such as CRIMP, Whap, Genwulf and maintaining a small cluster of my very own. I know I'm good at what I do. I also know I'm a keen and rapid learner. Should there be prospective information floating out there... I will consume it.
