What Are You Doing Right Now

Huge bonus to turning off the main lights in my office.. now people think I'm not in there. The light from the under cabinets don't hit the window in the door enough to make them think someone is inside.
-
@Dashrender that is kinda awesome
-
Just got into the office! Nice relaxing start to my day today

You're just hiding from them!

@Dashrender is hiding from them... But they have built up skills over long careers. Skills that make them a nightmare for people like him.

Currently drooling and dozing off, had a miserable sleep and today I may exist purely to crack jokes on the interwebs.

Just got back from the department wide meet and greet. There are 16 people in my department... 8x more people then were in my last department.

Pretty. I met a few people formally that I haven't met previously.

There is a chatty Kathy convention in the back corner of the office today... just now, 3 of us were standing by my desk, shocked at the sheer decibel level, not to mention the total lack of pretending to work... go, go, gadget headphones!
-
Listening to Pearl Jam Radio on Pandora!
-
Oh good, now they are having "fast pitch stress ball feats of manliness" time. Looks like I'm going home... now-ish. I don't feel like getting in trouble for strangling one of them, which I am about an asshair away from doing.

WOW, Tiger Direct has 480 Sandisk Ultra II SSDs on sale for $130... damn!
Why shouldn't we use these in servers?
-
Go for it! Eight of those babies in RAID 5 would be pretty sweet.

Damnation! This would be significantly more space, at least cost for the backup storage solution I wanted to use my old HP DL380 G5 for.
-
Compare to 4TB WD Red in RAID 6 or RAID 10 for backup though, which is cheaper?

The DL380 G5 I have is 2.5" drives... those Reds won't fit.

No, the 1TB would though, at only $69 per drive. Going to RAID 6 you'd get 6TB at half the price. So it is performance versus capacity.

This is my fear - I'm going to buy (for myself) a server with 3.5" bays and then in a few years SSD will be so cheap I'll kick myself. Hopefully 3.5" SSD catch on (think of all that room for chips!)
edit: on 2nd thought, I bet cheap 3.5" to 2.5" adapters will be made

Scott found a solution for the 2.5" RED drives.
