Ooops... new cloned disk says 'No HFS bootable partitions' when I boot from it... Back to drawing board.... Comments 7:47:45 PM

 'Surgery' in process: live photo of the disk-cloning process happening as you read. Problem is that the Web server is an aged but reliable PowerMac G3 - the original Beige model. For some reason, the 2 ATA controllers on the motherboard only support one drive apiece - the CD ROM is on one and the HD is on the other.
So here you see the 'new' HD, a 10 GB model scavenged from our old, dead Pentium Linux box 'mounted' via the power cable and ATA ribbon which were yanked off the CD ROM. An app called CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) is in the process of cloning the old, full 6 GB drive to the new 10 GB HD (and thanks all for the tips on psync and Retrospect).
If all goes well, I'll just shut down, pull the 6 GB and install the 10 GB, and we'll be back up with logins, passwords, files etc. intact. Keep your fingers crossed... |
 New hard drive on www.gulker.com's trusty but ancient hardware will likely mean some interruptions in service today. Dig, we must.. and gory details, later... promise!Comments 12:21:24 PM

 Semi-living artist: a culture of rat cells at the Georgia Institute of Technology controls 3 robotic arms that can draw on a canvas in a lab in Perth, Australia. Why? Details.Comments 12:16:58 PM

 $250 solar generators are what Bill Gross, of Idealab fame, is developing these days. The 250 watt systems hit the magic $1-a-watt metric, and 4 to 6 could power a home or small business. The design uses cheap stepper motors like the ones in ink jet printers to focus sunlight on a Stirling engine... I wonder how durable these systems would be?Comments 11:39:39 AM
