- Global File System and Debian is one step ahead
The Global File System (GFS) is a 64-bit shared disk cluster file system for Linux. GFS cluster nodes physically share the same storage by means of Fibre Channel or shared SCSI devices. The file system appears to be local on each node and GFS synchronizes file access across the cluster. GFS is fully symmetric, meaning that all nodes are equal and there is no server which may be a bottleneck or single point of failure

- delicious in rdf
i made an RDF API to the del.icio.us api, to make a point. The RDF version of the del.icio.us api works exactly the same as the real one, but the results are in RDF, and everything that goes through it gets stored in an RDF model. this means that you may get back more context about people or URLs or tags than you would through the regular API.
