More success…

King Xerxes!I am the King! I am the King!

Well, my little podcasting video was an enormous success, so enormous in fact that I am left scrambling looking for a better site to host my files. As of three o’clock this afternoon, over 58 people had downloaded at least some part of it, which choked a lot of my available bandwidth. Luckily, my brother runs websites with much greater bandwidth requirements, so I suspect I’ll have an easy solution fairly soon. Till then you can take advantage of Gordon Smith’s generous offer and get it from his mirror site. Hope that helps.

Incidentally, the illustration on the left comes from The Project Gutenberg eBook of Nonsense Books, by Edward Lear, which contains many illustrations and bad limericks. Give it a peek.

Bandwidth Monitoring…

I’m getting hammered enough that I thought it might be prudent to install some software to figure out just how hard I am getting hammered. Voila, courtesy of rrdtool and SNMP.


Bandwidth Graph!

I started downloading an ISO image, which is why the green line peaks up so high, but the perilous bit is actually the blue line. In theory, I can get a bit more than 30KBps on the uplink, but significant fractions of that rate make my cable modem slow.

I’ll probably tune up the script I use to monitor this, and may make it a regular feature here on brainwagon.

Mirrors, anyone?
