Security - We will get there

It was really messy today when I was driving along 404 southbound.

There were 5 accidents and traffic was so jammed up. I would prefer to work from home if I can choose. Thanks.

 

To be honest, I am not  a desktop guy and that's why I stick with Windows desktop for a very long time. I always think Linux lacks support for some of my favorite hobby applications. :-)  You know I am a server guy so I don't really need that much from desktop for my work. But this time I decide to make some serious change as once again my WinXP totally screwed up on my old home pc.

I was asked to setup a mixed SAN infrastructure with both fiber and iSCSI SAN products. One of the requirement is to create over 50 of the volumes. It will be tedious and time consuming if going through the GUI one click at a time so I decided to give it a try using CLI and some ruby code to help.

50.times { |x|
    puts "volume create Tables#{x+1} 100G pool bigsan"
    puts "volume select Tables#{x+1} access create ipaddress 10.1.1.*"
}

1. Switched Gigabit Ethernet network : Connect arrays and hosts to a switched network and ensure that all network connections between hosts and arrays are Gigabit Ethernet. An array can operate at 10 and 100 Mbits, but performance will be significantly degraded.

I have my servers send out log analysis reports to my web application hosted by a hosting provider. This had been working fine for several years until last month. All my reports were not received after Jan 28. Here is how I get it figured out. It could be the backend database is full. This was my first thought as I haven't backup and clean the db for a while. But it's not the case when I logged into the hosting server and found there was enought space.

I have been worked with three of the most popular web development framework for the past couple of years and are amazed how web development can benefit from these innovative technologies.

CakePHP is the one I used for the first version of MoreFunMath website at http://www.morefunmath.com

TBC.

 

It's been a while that I got part of my calendar and contact synced between my desktops and mobile device through online services. I lost some calender today so I decided to clean it up and make sure they all work together nicely.

I know it's not pretty or even a little bit complicated but it works. :-)

It's cool to have the web "Call Me" button setup in my personal information page.  You can try it out here.
