Lots of news this time:

• Ahhhh, the replacement switches for KLAT2 are installed. Hopefully they actually fixed the design flaw.
• Ars Technica has posted our article about how we got 64 GFLOPS out of KLAT2.
• The new AFN 000601 PCB's are finished, and should be in my hands by Wednesday. I envision lots of soldering in my near future... :-)
• Our submission for a Gordon Bell price/performance award was accepted, so we are finalists for this prestigious award.
• Our abstract/paper about KLAT2/FNNs was accepted at the Third Extreme Linux Workshop which will be held at the 4th Annual Linux Showcase in Atlanta.
• We put together a KLAT2 In The News page that links in all the coverage that we have found so far.
• Finally, our cluster work is linked-in on the "official"Beowulf web site.

The more I get done, the longer my TO-DO list gets! That's two papers that need mucho revisions, 21 AFN boards to assemble and solder, an update to AFAPI to handle more than 32 processors, and some major code/network tweaking to improve that price/performance ratio!

On a personal note, last weekend I might have gotten a few more people addicted to Settlers of Catan, a really cool board game. Yeah, no fancy 3D video card needed... much less a computer :-)
