The LAN upgrade ‘commenceth’

Here’s gulker.com’s LAN rack after the new Iomega 500 GB NAS drive went in. The Iomega shares the top shelf with a couple of switches, while the shelf below has the old, full, 250 GB Western Digital NAS drives, along with the 2 Gigabit switches that make up the core wired network.
Next up will be integrating our AMD 64-bit box back into the mix. I think there’s a way to squeeze it into the ‘cheesy crate‘ that organizes the left side of World HQ. There’s an open port on the KVM, so we’ll be able to wire it in nicely if we can get it tucked into a new home.
Measurements show that there should be a way to do this, if I can move some AC connections around in the crate. Patience, wire snips and cable ties…

[…] So, job 1 is to figure out how to organize the scans: I wonder if there’s some ‘official’ photo archiving scheme used by libraries et al.? I think I’ll use Lightroom to do the archiving: Vuescan on a wireless laptop will likely be the scanner input set up. I’ll probably use Acrobat to scan in and OCR the clips, and I want to attach story and caption info to the scan - someting I think Lightroom can do that using the IPTC XML schema (it’s what the wire services use - maybe that’s my ‘official’ format). As for work flow, I’m hoping we can do 10-25 scans a day for 50-125 per week… take about a year… we’re going to need a lot of storage, too… […]
[…] We may make the jump and install Leopard more widely on the gulker.com LAN. I’m a little curious about the best way to install on our problem-prone dual G5. I think we need some sort of clean install… […]
