Dear testmy.net,

Keiran Williams (FiberOptic)
1992 - 2008

It is of great upset and unfortunate, that I announce the passing of Keiran. Born on the 4th of September 1992, Keiran was forever a happy and cheerful person. With a passion for helping the unfortunate, having been involved in several groups with the sole aim of providing necessities for unfortunate children of the world. However, in the past few months, Keiran had been suffering from an undiagnosed condition of Anorexia Nervosa.

Early morning today, Keiran had been admitted to A&E after his body refused to function. However, with thanks to Staff and the Medical Team at the Royal Worcester Hospital, Keiran's body was slowly regaining essential energy that Keiran's body was lacking.

However, soon after, Keiran's condition deteriorated and his body intermittently shut down. After several attempts to stabilise Keiran, at 2:26pm, it was pronounced that Keiran's body had completely shut down.

Keiran's funeral is due to take place on Thursday 14th August, in his hometown of Tampa Bay in Florida. I have been asked by his family, to make peers aware, that this is an open occasion, to commemorate his life and thus peers are openly welcome to attend. With a part Jewish background, Shiva will begin on the 15th August 2008 in Worcester, and again, anyone who so wishes to is welcome to attend and remember Keiran.

As some may be aware, Keiran was a avid internet community user, and as such, I need to make sure that these communities are aware of this passing. It would be appreciated, if anyone is aware of other accounts on websites that Keiran had, if this message could get passed along. As I am unable to access his computers to gain access to his accounts. If anyone has outstanding personal messages, it can be presumed that these will not be getting a reply.

Thank You for Reading,

Clare Beynon.

PS. If anyone is wishing to attend, please email me, so I can give you the relevant details.

Heya Guys and Girls. Just a quick question for all you linux experts

Recently, (Actually, Just a couple of days ago), I got a couple of dedi-servers from OVH (http://www.ovh.co.uk...ucts/mgplus.xml) all is fine. Super-Duper responces etc. However, my main uses were/was going to be a seedbox (where I can seed/leech my torrents from) and then sell a few slots off (use up some of the pipe).

Both servers claim to be on 1Gbps pipes, yet, I am unable to transfer files at anywhere near those speeds.
-bash-3.1# wget ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/test/100mb.bin

^^I am certain that host server (for the files) is able to max out way more then that. So I was wondering are there any tweaks (or general optimizations) I can apply etc? (I am starting to know a fair bit of Linux and dandy with the commands etc).

Mine is pretty plain and boring lmao..

But its my school/working machine so I hardly have anything decent on it.
