I haven’t been posting much even though a lot of things have crossed my mind that would be interesting to write about. I’ve been pretty busy with my family and some other projects. Notably, I’m writing a few articles for IBM DeveloperWorks on Unix performance monitoring which I’ll link to here once they go live.

Also, one project that I’m pretty excited about is the B5Media.com server move. They were originally running 120+ blogs on 2 servers that were falling over regularily. I helped out with the setting up and tuning of a dedicated database server and two web servers. I’m almost done handing it off, but it’s been a great learning experience. I hope to reflect some things I’ve learned in future articles here, and on other sites.
