I have been breaking my back working on the OS X port of the Lustre client for a few days. It is coming along nicely, though.

I had an electrician come by the house today, because I’m looking to pull 200 more amps to build a little machine room in my house. He told me that the goddamn building code, or some such shit, says that a building can only have one electrical service. So instead of just pulling a second 200 amp line to complement the existing 200 amps for the house, he has to replace that with a 400 amp line, and the equipment for anything over 200 amps is apparently really expensive. I haven’t received his quotation yet.

I bet I wouldn’t have to put up with some arbitrary bullshit housing code in China. They would take my money and fucking do what the boss man orders. They just finished digging up the street for us, in front of our office, to run fibre for our internet. China is going to own us, until the regulators bring that country to its knees just like ours.
