So just in case you are wondering if I’m conscious of the New Year… yes, I am.  Believe it or not
I have just three resolutions this year and they’re quite personal.  I’ll share them with you, intrepid reader, since you can keep a secret.

Do better at maintaining my temper, blood pressure and sanity.

Last week I had to do some serious debugging on storage copy replication.  We discovered that one of our SCC clusters had decided to quit replicating to the SCR node at the other site.  We’re not sure why (we think it’s because the SCR node was rebooted and replication was not cleanly suspended), but the [...]

Did anyone catch the memo?  The one that said Apple is done with Macworld after this year because they want to announce products on their own timeline?  Yeah that one.  I thought you saw that one.
People seem to have forgotten it already.  There’s rampant speculation all over the net about products that Phil [...]

The installers kept the appointment this time around – as of today we have Dish Network added to our plasma box of glory.  So far it’s good.  We ate breakfast while watching bizarre shows from the other side of the planet.
It’s amazing how quickly the wife tired of it  That was a quick [...]

One of the fortunes I’ve had this year was to finally obtain a “real” TV set to replace the small dinky tube I’ve had since I moved out of my house.  In case you’re wondering, that’s about 19 years ago.
I had promised myself that once I obtained a home theater-type of setup, I [...]

Abit’s Death Date Reportedly Set: 31st of December, 2008 – X-bit labs.
Even though I don’t care too much about building PCs anymore, this is sad, sad news.  ABIT is shutting down completely at the end of this year.
However, on a positive note – at least that narrows down motherboard selections for enthusiasts.

I’ve not had much in the way of time this month. I’ve not had much time to do much of anything productive, let alone write here. I’ve actually spent the few writing moments that I have had on some projects invisible to the casual Galaxycow reader. Perhaps, if luck shall have it, [...]

So, I don’t mean to continue to rail on Vista like I did about a year ago, but something absolutely ridiculous happened to me today.
I’ve been doing some hard drive recovery for my dad’s old NEC Windows 98 system. (I had to do some recovery on another system as well, but that [...]

I’ve pretty much posted this everywhere I have a presence, but that’s because I’m just plain seriously proud.
My son has written his first story.  He wanted to share it with everyone on the video camera, so here away we went.  I think my son may have a future in vlogging.
This is the same video that [...]
