On Tuesday, I was in San Antonio at our old data center prepping servers to be moved to our new data center in Torrance, CA. My employee Danny and I got the servers ready for the movers to come and derack them. These piles are some of the power (black) ethernet (blue/white) and fiber optic (orange) cables we pulled off of them for the prep work.

 

In the end, about 85 servers and three full racks of SAN's got moved onto a truck. It's probably in California by now -- with someone on the other end getting ready to install them.

A shot of the Gigabit Ethernet Cable - which will be used to transfer data from my old PC to the new one.

An application on the iPod Touch sends Open Sound Control messages to the Ethernet-Arduino over WiFi and my local network.

i made this a few years ago. the colors are the colors of the wires inside of an ethernet cable, in order.

This is a revised version of the schematic. It has tie down of the data lines. Buffering of all control lines which are tied up and the buffer and bus transceiver are disabled when the 3.3v supply is missing. A short time ago the NRM had the Great Gathering and had six of Sir Nigel Gresley's A4 locomotives (including Mallard, which still has the steam locomotive speed record) all in one place. Two have now left but four still remain.

One of my "robomates" - minimates created from gluing broken computer parts onto a minimate base. This one came from a broken network card.

2 adapters come with it. One for VGA and one is a USB to Ethernet connector. It comes with its own matching carrying case.

Here are the connections to the back of the blade enclosure and the switches. The fibre-channel switch is missing because it's just sitting on top of the blade enclosure to the side.

 

A note about the two switches:

Each side of the blade enclosure has 10 1Gb ethernet passthroughs, as each network card in each blade has two interfaces. These two interfaces have been logically bonded together (according to these instructions: fcp.surfsite.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=210 ). This increases reliability, as any wire could get unplugged, or an entire switch could lose power, and connectivity would not be lost.

 

The way to do this with Fibre channel is using the "powerpath" software that comes with the EMC cards

Fermilab is one of the top high energy physics labs in the world, and is currently supporting experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, after shutting down their Tevatron in September, 2011. The Feynman building has several floors filled with networked computers, power supplies, and more, and is not the only building of this type on the lab site. Here the cables are connecting the various rack-mounted servers to the network.

This Belkin Wi-Fi router (available now) boasts speeds of up to 1.6 Gbps (1.3 Gbps on 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz band). It also features 4 gigabit Ethernet ports.

 

A complementary AC Wi-Fi Dual-Band USB Adapter will be available in spring 2013. It utilizes USB 3.0 to deliver 802.11ac Wi-Fi speeds up to 867 Mbps.

good enough for govt work

The huge spike at 9 AM is when we opened hotel reservations for Anthrocon 2010.

Several years ago this ethernet cable got partially drilled through by an errant bit. I "solved" the problem with an unbent staple. Today I finally replaced it with a brand-new Cat6 cable from Monoprice.

You might break that Ethernet cable...

A former hairdressers on Arachovis Street forms the context for an installation of “smart” lights programmed according to statutory international working hours. Operating at fixed hours, they take into account the limits to weekly working hours, periods of rest and holiday. James Bridle employs the increasingly widespread technology of the “internet of things” to make visible the EU Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) which was created to protect workers’ rights. When activated, the light bulbs shine continuously during working hours, go dim and change colour during overtime and non-working hours. In addition, the lights change periodically to visualise the different actual working hours around the globe.

 

Cheaper by the Dozen continues James Bridle’s interest in algorithmic law, the processes of automation, and the political implications of the "internet of things". By addressing the guidelines to working hours in the context of a deactivated hairdressers shop, the artist draws upon the sensitivities and prejudices inherent to national working rhythms and the gross domestic product. More specifically, Bridle took inspiration from Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, pioneers of scientific management and the study of time and motion, who measured and assessed workers’ productivity through the technique of light painting. Their theoretical heritage was fundamental to the deployment of labour practices in the 20th century, just as the implementation of often opaque political intent in software is fundamental to those of the 21st century. By inserting other social values into the software layer of contemporary labour practices, the work seeks to challenge the logic of technodeterminism and alienation deployed by late capitalism.

This is what happens when you rush the cable patching job. ;-)

 

I'll need to cable tie and lay them a little more sensibly. I'm sure the data cablers would cry after the neat/professional job they did throughout the house and into the patch panel.
