Folks,
I just wanted to give you a sneak peak at some of the things that we've been cooking up to strengthen both the geekhack community and the integrity and security of the forum itself.
First, our last fundraising efforts and an extremely generous donation by a staff member have resulted in a very large amount of highly redundant, fast storage that we can use to augment the current server platform (ie, 12-15 raw TB of enterprise disk).
Second, we have some additional ideas that will further bullet-and-future-proof the hardware and software platform at a systems level. The costs for these ideas are thankfully modest, again, largely due to donations by members of staff, but will have non-trivial monetary costs. To alleviate these, we have a number of items we'll be auctioning off for the platform fund. To give you some hints at what's upcom-
(hey, how many different small keyboards _has_ IBM made anyway? and why did they use all those darned plastic rivets everywhere?)
(hmm, i wonder what happened to the monthly GEEKHACK key -- wow, that cherry font sure is nice..)
(when i say 'click' you say..)
(i wonder, was miles davis ever into keyboards?)
Sorry, I'm easily distracted. Anyway, lots of fun stuff coming up. Stay tuned folks!
-DAT KAWA
