143GB low level
Starting 143GB disk format from controller level , even when it’s 15k RPM is not a good idea, especially at night.

It looks like Dilbert Website went Web 2.0. It’s back in ˝BETAˇ stage.

Foresight Linux 2
I have downloaded Foresight Linux 2 with a hope to see some really cool and up to date Linux distribution.
Yes, it has GNOME 2.22 which just came out ( was it yesterday ? ) and yes, this is cool. But if you are matured computer user, you have your favourite tools. Naming a few for [...]

My current arrangement for backup is Dell PowerVault 122T SDLT and Backup Exec 10 on Windows 2000 Server, at least at one place.
The only thing which I can say about it is … unreliable.
Tape library has mechanical problems, build in tape drive has tape errors more often than 3 girls combined periods. And it’s apparently [...]

So it looks London is not as power perfect as I initially anticipated.
Today I had no electricity at my place for about 10 hours. The best part is that when I was coming back home, I have asked one of the workers, when it may be fixed and he said that they still didn’t find [...]
