Processor Performance by Rank


This data comes from the crowd-sourced "PassMark" benchmarking utility.
Users pass their CPU performance data back to Passmark, and they have a few tables on their website that break CPUs down by ranking. I have combined several tables here into a single dump that includes both Single and Multi CPU performance statistics/comparisons. There are over 1,500 individual CPUs compared in this table.
You can get their software at their web site here:

This table is sorted by CPU Ranking

EHR/EMR Solutions for Medical Practices

As a part of the 2009 Stimulus package, there is strong financial incentive for doctors to install and implement EMR systems in their practice.
According to the US Government, the benefits of IT use in the healthcare sector can bring these benefits:

Health information technology (HIT)
Health information technology in general are increasingly viewed as the most promising tool for improving the overall quality, safety and efficiency of the health delivery system (Chaudhry et al., 2006).
Broad and consistent utilization of HIT will:

  • Improve health care quality;
  • Prevent medical errors;
  • Reduce health care costs;
  • Increase administrative efficiencies;
  • Decrease paperwork; and
  • Expand access to affordable care.

Allow webmin traffic through the default firewall [iptables] settings in Proxmox Containers

Just a liitle trick I needed to do to get my webmin access enabled in the vhost on Proxmox:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

Proxmox Vhost IP Address Configuration

Some key cmds that I had to use to get the networking operational on the proxmox server:


root@proxmax:/etc/network# vzctl set 103 --ipadd 192.168.3.88 --save

This will poke a new IP address into the config for the container.
The "/etc/network/interfaces" files that results will look like this:

bash history date/time stamps

By default, the bash history does not keep tabs on the time of day that a given command was run. But it is really as simple as defining ONE environment variable: "HISTTIMEFORMAT"

This from "Linux by Example": HISTTIMEFORMAT takes format string of strftime. Check out the strftime manual to choose and construct the timestamp that suit your taste. My favorite is "%F %T ".

export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "

Extract IP Addresses from a text file...

This is a cool little grep search to pull any IPs from a text file:
grep -Eo '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' file_with_ips_in_it.txt | sort | uniq

Upgraded jaxbeachtech.com to Drupal 7

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded the site to Drupal V7 - it was pretty straight forward, a few glitches here and there, but overall, pretty smooth. It was worth waiting a few years for the code to be nicely cleaned up :)

A BIG Thank You to all those clever people that contributed to the Drupal 7 experience - there is no doubt about it - it is a fantastic product.

A useful script for crontab (for all users) listings (let's see what running automagically...)


I have been working on a system inherited from several earlier sysadmins, and you have to keep an eye out for cron jobs running for other users - so it's nice to be able to review them all in one hit - just run this on a command line as root:

for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do echo $user; crontab -u $user -l; done
