As a bit of an experiment, I’ve made this quick and dirty “vlog” style tutorial video to show you how to install Shaken Fist on a single machine and boot your first instance. I demonstrate how to install, setup your first virtual network, start the instance, inspect events that the instance has experienced, and then…

I just noticed…
That I forgot to put the slides from Stewart and my MythTV tutorial at LCA online. So, here they are, and sorry for the delay. You can also see the video of the tutorial here, and the homework we set here. Weirdly, there is even a remix video of the presentation.

Updated: linux.conf.au 2007 MythTV tutorial homework

I did all the homework on a VMWare virtual machine, and it took me about four hours to complete, given that compilation was slow for me in the virtual machine, but downloading was fast. Next steps are adding ffmpeg setup to the homework, and putting…
First cut of the tutorial homework is ready
Stewart and I are just now putting the finishing touches on our MythTV tutorial for linux.conf.au. Because it’s a tutorial and is therefore meant to be hands one we want people to come along with a machine which is configured so it can take part in a bunch of the demos. To that end we…
MySQL cluster stores in RAM!
Argh! MySQL cluster currently stores in RAM only. That means if I have 100 machines each with 4 gigabytes of RAM, then I can store 200 gigabytes of data! Hurrah! That’s at least what I learnt in the tutorial, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
