Monday, July 30th, 2007Moving server equipment.
Spent 10 hours and $2.50 (on two Vault drinks) to move 10 servers, two SAN devices, two fiber channel switches, and one tape library. I wasn’t even expecting it to take half of that. Of course, most of that was not “moving” the equipment, it was disconnecting it and [...]
Go Make a Difference
Saturday, July 28th, 2007I was at the beach today, and was witness to an event. A little girl (maybe 8 to 10 yo) got caught in a rip tide, and apparently her parents noticed this. I didn’t hear her scream or anything, and it wasn’t until the 3 people who ran in after her were halfway [...]
100 years does not change a thing
Friday, July 27th, 2007It is also good to love: because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation.

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007My camera (Kodak C300) broke… I turned it on this morning and it wouldn’t turn off. You might think thats not an issue, but it has an auto off feature which turns the camera off after a few minutes. To turn it back on you have to turn it off and turn it [...]

Google Maps Improvement
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007I’ve always wanted to select my own route rather than letting the system pick the best route based on how long it would supposedly take. Google added a feature to Google Maps where you can drag and drop routes to go whichever way you want to go. Yay.
Geek Humor
Monday, July 9th, 2007“Sometimes I feel like I’m living two lives, I… come into work… and… develop for that other operating system, but then I go home and I play with my Linux.”
