1. Far Cry (yes, again) magazine cover spoiler-ette
Just thought I should mention it: I managed to make Tornado run on my machine under WinXP... using DosBox (dosbox.sourceforge.net). My life is complete again :-) Juergen Nieveler -- famous last words: .....this IS the bugfix!!!!?
3. SATA with IDE drive (yes again! )
4. Snapshot monitor for locks not showing Total Wait Time
Version: Command Line Processor for DB2 ADCL 9.1.7
I've turned on the UOW flag:
db2 get dbm monitor switches
DBM System Monitor Information Collected
Switch list for db partition number 0
Buffer Pool Activity Information (BUFFERPOOL) = OFF
Lock Information (LOCK) = ON 07/16/2009
06:52:35.158084
Sorting Information (SORT) = OFF
SQL Statement Information (STATEMENT) = OFF
Table Activity Information (TABLE) = OFF
Take Timestamp Information (TIMESTAMP) = ON 07/16/2009
06:51:15.649084
Unit of Work Information (UOW) = ON 07/16/2009
06:51:15.649084
I'm simulating a lock situation. In two different sessions I use the
CLP with the +c switch (turning auto commit off). In one session I
insert into an unindexed table - in the other I I select from the
table (which hangs).
When I execute the snapshot monitor for locks the wait times are all
"Not Collected"
snippet:
db2 "get snapshot for locks on sample"
Database Lock Snapshot
Database name = SAMPLE
Database path = /home/db2inst1/db2inst1/
NODE0000/SQL00001/
Input database alias = SAMPLE
Locks held = 4
Applications currently connected = 1
Agents currently waiting on locks = 0
Snapshot timestamp = 07/16/2009
06:53:25.822757
Application handle = 11
Application ID = *LOCAL.DB2.090716065237
Sequence number = 00001
Application name = db2evmg_DB2DETAILDEA
CONNECT Authorization ID = DB2INST1
Application status = Connect Completed
Status change time =
Application code page = 1208
Locks held = 0
Total wait time (ms) = Not Collected
I want to alert ONLY if the wait time is more than a specified
threshold (10 seconds). I was working on this yesterday and the wait
times were working. I had to stop/start the db2 instance and it
apparently broke things.

8. EB Games PC section got smaller once again!!!
I made a post in here just a few months back under a different name complaining about how EB Games keeps making the PC games section smaller and smaller. Well, I hadn't been back to EB since that post but yesterday I stopped in the store and sure enough they have made it even smaller once again. I expect their next move will be to offer PC games by special order only. The dweeblet sales guy came up to me and asked me if I needed help finding a game and I used that opportunity to complain about their 3rd rate treatment of PC gamers. His excuse, and lie, was that there are hardly any new PC games being released any more and he went on to give me even more BS about how they still sold more different PC games than other stores. I pointed out to him that neither of his comments are true and the real reason is that EB Games just don't want to support PC games because all they care about is where the money is. There are plenty of PC games being released and I would guess off hand that there are more new PC games released per month than there are for the PS3. PS3 is the system with a shitty game library and not the PC. And don't even get me started on the console system for the sheeples with it's stupid Mario games.
