HP Media Vault Retired

May 31st, 2008 Comments off

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 2008

May 25th, 2008 Comments off

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.
