I recently sat for the CISSP examination. What a test. 250 security-related questions in six hours. I got my results Monday, and I passed, so its now back to cluster things. <p> I get to rebuild my 16-node VA cluster, but I managed to get on Scyld's new Beowulf beta program, so here I am back at the bleeding edge. Actually, I'm looking forward to playing with it, and getting a cluster that's, if not actually high tech, at least has all the latest and greatest. <p> Also started playing around with Mac G4s and AppleSeed. Interesting stuff. The G4 chip is <strong>fast</strong>. In crunching distributed.net packets, the G4/500 was 4 times as fast as my PIII/500. The 128-bit processing rocks.
