I’ve picked up a Wii Fit a few days ago in Amsterdam ( while en route to LCY ). And I love it! It’s great fun and work out. Brilliant product.
I’m tired, over worked. I’m counting days to my flight back to UK.
It’s the half of my tour in India. I am working about 10-12h a day including Saturdays. It’s hard to get anything done when getting parts or solutions from suppliers takes at least a week.
Biggest challenge for our business is actually the quality of Internet networks in India and international connections. We have outage at least one ever couple of days. International connections from India are also really bad, big latency and congestion.
I’ve recorded a long video ( about 20m ) from my daily commute from the Guest House which I’m staying at to my office. Enjoy the views.
So, I’m a bit busy now. I am developing bigger team to support IT services for Atticmedia and the whole BDP Media Group. Current location, India. The Atticmedia India is big enough to have their own IT staff. I am responsible for training of the staff and in the mean time, of my stay here, to assure high quality of IT service. The culture difference makes it even bigger challenge, but so far, I am enjoying it.
Finally, after, what 23 ? races, Kubica wins a Grand Prix and we could hear the Polish Anthem sound for the first time at the event, thanks! It actually felt quite well.
It was a beautiful race. With a very nice present from Lewis to Robert ( by clearly avoiding his car ). He did a Raikkonen to the Raikkonen himself. This was a lesson for Kimi, that it’s not a good feeling when someone is driving into your back when you least expect that (Hint: Monaco 2008 , Kimi and Sutil ).
DC, FINALLY finished his race! He even did that with a very good score of 3rd place and 6 Championship points.
On the Championship board, after Canada, Robert is Number One! Keep it up Robert. It would be beautiful to see you at the end of the season still keeping it. That would spoil Hamiltons road to glory, init.
Finally after months I’ve created a vhost on hamerica for hosting Firma HRP website. It no longer shows my munin stats.
I’ve even started some consultations on what they wish to have there.
I’ve installed alfresco on Gentoo, used Gentoo HOWTO . Only major problem which I encountered was with not finding jdbc MySQL driver. I’ve tried to use script from the HowTo, but it wasn’t working.
My Solution was to rebuild jdbc driver ( the script broken it ) ( emerge -av jdbc-mysql ) and then I’ve done a simple find /usr -name jdbc-mysql.jar and linked the file inside tomcats lib ( ln -s `find /usr -name jdbc-mysql.jar` /usr/share/tomcat-6/lib/jdbc-mysql.jar )
Found a quick howto to setup JMeter which will launch me in the world of properly tested web applications.
After, not much over 1 year, I am retiring my Media Vault .
Having a network attached storage is a briliant idea. I am staying with it. It’s just the Media Vault product.
Slow death. After half a year, a small fan has broken and since then it became loud, I have contacted HP to get it replaced, but they asked me to ship the whole unit to them, even when I was perfectly fine to replace it my self. I said ˇNo, thank you˝. That was my first experience with HP Support for dummies (home user). Months later, I have moved to a new place with a dedicated computer closet and I bought a proper server, the ML110. From there, I started experimenting with OpenSolaris, which with ZFS and NFS - SMB sharing, it’s soo much better and extremely flexible solution.
Two 750GB drives later I have my first Sol(aris)NAS. Very nice creature and actually faster than the MV. Last week I started migrating data on to the SolNas, and today I’ve finished migrating clients to it. Nice!
MV is switched off, my energy consumption lost a 35W sucker and I have no idea what to do with it now. Just gonna leave it where it is. Maybe you want it ?
Monaco GP for 2008 is over now. It was a beautiful show. Started in rain, spraying the grid with low predictability. Thanks to that water from the skies it was really funny event to watch, with all these drivers losing their front wings. Only one driver, had really bad luck at the end of the GP, when Kimi lost control and ended Sutils good fortune by crashing into his back. Kubica drove really well and had a chance of being first at the checker flag, he was the only driver among front runners, who didn’t make any mistake. Hamitlon, lucky barstard! Great driving, but from what I think, it’s his crash and forced pit stop what made him win that race.
I’m really looking forward to Canadian GP 2008. Kubica may finally get on the top of the podium! He just need Kimi, not crash into his back. Hopefully , DC will also get to the finish of the race, it’s a long time since I’ve seen him finishing, not crashing.
