Things that just don’t fit anywhere else…
I kind of feel like Steve Martin in, “The Jerk(The Jerk starring Steve Martin)”:1 when he blurts our, “The new phone book’s here! The new phone book’s here!” I just got my order of 4 Serial ATA hard drives from “NewEgg(My favorite mail order business for computer stuff…)”:2. I figured I’d be able to build a RAID-5 array in a degraded...
I’ve been playing with speech recognition on my computer today. For the Macintosh there’s a program called iListen and it works pretty well. After doing a bit of training with my voice I am now able to speak rather than writing when putting thoughts into words. There are still some glitches; however with more training I think that I will be able to get pretty accurate results out of...
Or at least hates my hard drives. I went to power up my workstation PC today and it started up as normal. After 5 minutes of use, the drive started power cycling. It’s still under warranty, but there is some data I’d really like to get off of it. We’ll see what I can manage. That’s two or maybe three hard drives that have either failed or started to fail in the last two...
So the other night, one of the hard drives in my RAID-1 (mirror) array triggered a failure. No biggie. The other drive was working just fine. The next day I went out to Fry’s and they actaully had the exact same model so I bought it and brought it home. I removed the old drive from the server and stuck the new one in, partitioned it and added the drive into the RAID. At about 99.99% of a...

I’m 36 today…
I had the pleasure of being in New Orleans two years ago. Truth be told, I didn’t care too much for the city as it really clashed with my morals and I’m not all that moral a person. Regardless, the tragedy there is heart-breaking and I applaud all of the efforts to bring things under control. We (even the boys) have given money to the Red Cross as will give more as we can. I have also...
A quick and dirty IQ test...
My friend “Airic(Airic van Staveren)”: sent me “this picture(Stormtrooper Elvis)”: that he took at a comic book show in San Diego this last weekend. What a crack up!
Just a quick note. I upgraded the memory in the machine to 1G (“Fry’s(Fry’s Electronics)”: had a good price on some this weekend.) The web site stuff I’m using consumes an insane amount of memory. Not that content needs to be served quickly, but it was dog slow sometimes due to parts of the web server swapping out. I also upgraded to “WordPress 1.5.1(WordPress...
