The Self Colo Project

So using a pretty fast internet fiber connection has it’s benefits and I am investing in some of that.  Some of my projects will be getting some much needed overhauls as I bring much of the backend in house.  I have amassed the capability to store up to 5TB of data in a closet utilizing a RAID array and SAN system as well as a barebones system with really impressive hardware all for the benefit of building virtual machines and shutting down my reliance on some external systems and providing some room for growth.  Wish me well.  😉

Mac OS X pokes fun at old Windows “Blue Screen of Death”.

Windows Share Get Info Box.I found it interesting today that while I was setting up some shares on my Mac Book Pro I found an interesting icon for my windows machine in the mac OS.  Apple seems to have a grim view of MS even though it hasn’t used the type of BSOD screen used in the icon since Windows ME.  Makes me wonder if Apple Shares or other Apple devices like the iPod will or should have the sad looking mac man as their icon on your Windows desktop.sadmacman
