I received the case, motherboard etc for the new machine however the second carton of the consignment didn't make it (thanks, Auspost!). So, no drives or GPU. Hopefully they turn up at some point...
The 9800GT in one of the 64-bit Ubuntu machines is getting rather unreliable and is failing work units in both Seti and GPUGrid. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is as the fan on the GPU is still running and the errors seem pretty random. I am considering turning this machine into a Windows 7 machine so that I can run some of the Nvidia utilities and maybe reduce the clock speed to get some reliability. Its not overclocked at the moment but maybe running at 100% 24/7 is just too much.
Our ISP at the office has changed the way in which they scan email for spam and as a result we are getting massive amounts of it at the moment. I have installed a program from the Ubuntu repository called "POPFile" that catagorizes mail according to patterns it has learnt from mail manually checked. It seems pretty effecient so far!
