I've got some projects I want to do, and one of them requires a simple CMS. When I heard about PmWiki, my heart nearly skipped a beat -- here was an open source, PHP v4-compatible, and flat-file based wiki!
I just had to try it!

Thanks to Marty for finally providing a real podcast feed for the VMS Audio Updates! There's an article on OpenVMS.org announcing the availability of this great new feature.
Good job, Marty!

I was perusing the 'net today, looking for links back to this blog. While I didn't find what I was looking for, I did find the Webmaster's Prayer and an Ode to Alpha. Ah, fond memories; I remember struggling with that animated GIF of Homer Simpson, trying to get the size down to something reasonable.
My servers are still Digital.

The Uptime Project has moved around over the past few years, and currently resides at uptimes-project.org. This server keeps a database of clients and their reported uptimes. Yes, some of the data is absurd (a Windows machine with 272 years of uptime? Heck I thought 1 year was hard to believe...) Fortunately, the OpenVMS and OpenVMS Cluster times are more reasonable and logically consistent.
Here are instructions on setting up the client on your system. NB: don't install this on a system that you do not have authorization to run it on. From a security perspective, the source code is included -- it is up to you to review the code and build it for your system. I am not responsible for software that YOU install on YOUR system.

Got a package in the mail yesterday! I'd signed up on the HP website, entering the competition to see who had the oldest OpenVMS system based on serial number. I knew I didn't have a chance at winning the Itanium (after all, the oldest system I was able to find was a VAX 3100 Model 80), but I was hoping to be early enough to get a shot at a sweater.
And I was! Thanks, HP!
Although it's hard to tell in this picture (I shot it with my Nokia N800's camera), the lettering is quality stitching, not a silkscreened image.

If Init/Erase isn't sufficient, this does a triple pass over your media with varying patterns (you can even specify the pattern):
$ Analyze /Media /Exercise=Full
