New Bed
Category: furniture

Finally after almost 4 months of waiting the American made, solid maple bedroom set is completed. I guess I was willing to wait for an American made product. (E:terry) teases but at the store I smelled every set we looked at and this one didn't smell at all which is what sold it for me.

Now I want the nightstand.

Yeah it took so long cause the people making like to go have coffee, read the internet, talk and then when they have time work on the wood cutting ...HA... Joke about lazy Americans sorry I have one of those are work argh... It looks great I prefer how it looks with less light in the picture where it is darker... It is worth it to wait for good quality stuff.....

Joe's Crab Shack

Went to Joe's crab shack with (e:zooey). she is obsessed with lobster. The first thing she asked was when we were going to get lobster. I love the crab daddy bucket with the fire grill seasoning.

Samsung Experience Store
Category: samsung

Samsung is building a Samsung Experience Store at Best Buy. I live samsung products but I can't believe they let you see it in this ghetto pre-state.

So you don't trip over the Totes ? not really sure what that place will be but I've kinda been thinking about going to best guy to get a cell phone... They claim they sell all the phones and all the plans ... I kinda find it hard to believe that they do doubt they have Cricket ... But since they are a bit confusing might be a good place to go ?

Bye bye real servers
Category: work

ugh what a 14 hour work day. I programmed so much stuff by 4:30 when I went to test something it ran rather slowly. I was surprised with the performance as it wasnt a complex task. Turns out the write cache battery on both our remaining physical servers died which rendered the caches disabled. The performance went from 400+MB/s to like 40MB/s. I wonder if other people are experiencing the same thing.

Anyways I had been working on virtualzing them for a while and decided tonight it had to happen. There was no way I was facing a slow server day during business hours tommorow so I just powered through.

There was so much complexity involved that I wish someone else was around to experience it with me. I have no idea how I ended up being a person who does everything but I do. I manage almost 15 servers now, thank god all the rest are virtual. I hope to delgate that a bit once I'm a manager.

In the end I like the virtual servers so much because its so easy to upgrade then and clone them for testing. Lets just hope performance is awesome in the morning when there are 500+ simultaneous users hitting the apps and I am just waking up from this.
