What Happened Today at the Monastery?

Andre Garzia is here from Brazil after having gone to Las Vegas as a speaker at the Annual Runtime Revolution Conference there. Andre is on Kauai for 3 weeks. He is helping Sivakatirswami migrate all our web sites to a new and upgraded web server. He’s a real wizard with the computer.

He is also helping to migrate all the past Hinduism Today articles into the new XOOPS Content Management System for the release of a new Hinduism Today site which is still under wraps.

Our new web server has a terabyte of hard drive space, the latest CentOS-5 (Red Hat Linux) system. Quicktime Streaming Server will be installed for high end video delivery.

Last year Andre alerted us to the One Laptop Per Child Program. You can buy one and give one at the same time. Since the program would not allow an individual to make a purchase in Brazil, Saiva Siddhanta Church charity fund paid for half and Andre the other half. This is the computer that Andre will get, and and the one we paid for goes to a poor child in a far off country.

This little machine is “just so cool!” To find out more see the One Laptop Per Child web site.
