The temperatures are about 30 deg. Celsius around here, luckily in the

basement it's about 5 degres lower. Because I preffer cold over warm, I

can't really live anytwhere else than here, in this cold spot, still

with a fan blowing cold air into my face as I type... =]

I've finnished off the new simulator and it works exactly as planed:

Just like if servers were seleceted on pure random, just that it starts

acting in some order, when a server is either taskless or overloaded.



While programing I noticed that the preformance depends on the status

reporting interval, so I killed it and set up a special system --> now

status reports are sent when status changes only.



Also, In this simulation, interfaces constantly update their processor

pick pools, so most of the time, changing the pool shape, but not their

contents. In reality, interfaces should recalculate their processor pick

pools whenever they recieve a status update. The recalculation takes 1/2

a second on my 486, so I dare not think if a server would even bother to

notice that process.



The fact that the simulation program is on a computer that is less than

1/2 a meter away from this one, but I still can't transfer it because

the floppy drives are broken on mine, is absolutely nerve-boiling to me.

You'll have to take my word for it that this system works better than

any other so far. I don't think we can come up with anything better

right now, but I'd be ready to see a better one at work! =]





Also, what do we call this Web Changer thing? I'll try and resist the

temptation of calling it WC! =] ;] =]





Sorry if there are any odd spelling errors, beacuse the monitor is on

the floor and I am on a chair, It's quite a distance and my eyes aren't

too good at distances. Ah, just found one "ar work"... Fixed! =]
