I wasn't planning to post here tonight. I was planning to submerge myself in a paper I still have to write, to finally get it done. I do this sort of thing in the evening and night on purpose, because that is the time period of least distraction. And there, right in the middle of deep concentration, the bloody phone rings. And it wasn't even an important call, just a completely superfluous question. And now, all is gone. I'm not made for this world.
 
Should be something around 36°C.

There's an easy way to remember it: 100°F is the average temperature of Mr Farenheit's body, and 0°F is the measure Farenheit took on the coldest night of the year in his hometown of Danzig. Makes totally much more sense than random marks such as the freezing and boiling points of water.

That made me laugh on an otherwise tiresome night. As I have to sit up and wait for our systems to populate our stores with a promotion. Muggins here has been charged with making sure it doesn't go belly up.
 
Fun indeed Wasted - it's done, 13 stores out of 1265 did not get their promotion. I think I can call that "job done" and now I'm off to bed! :D

I love Tesla! I was at Best Buy today and it appears they have a new album.
 
I'm getting a new Broadband service from my work. It's going to be using the fibre optic network for f'ing fast downloads.
 
Sweet!!

How fast will that be?
Also, has anyone ever run VM Ware?  I'm looking to install ESXi soon, and was just wondering.
 
Just watching the newest episode of Top Gear. They're showing a team of Afghan vets who are amputees who are working together to win the Dakar Rally. Old Stig (Ben Collins) came back to help out too. Hell of a fucking story. I have something in my eyes.

Yes. We're running 6 ESX(i) hosts and ~ 40 guests on them. Production environment.
For any task that doesn't demand low I/O latency (and by low i mean soft real-time or close), virtualization is the way to go.

If you're doing desktop virtualization, i suggest VirtualBox. It's the only big cross platform solution - Windows, Linux, UNIX (FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOSX). And it has some nice features like "seamless mode", where the desktop of guest blends with host desktop.
Apart from that, ESXi running on bare metal has some desktop advantages, mainly the new (unsupported) option of PCI passthrough. You can directly pass control of some PCI(x) device hooked onto host to guest operating system.
 
Thanks for the info!

What I'm doing is trying to train myself on some software-- I've gotten my hands on a legit copy of Server 2008 R2 as well as Exchange 2007, so I wanted to install it and run it in the ESXi environment.

At work, we are getting ready to install ESXi and run 8 - 10 2008 R2 servers + Exchange-- I don't have any formal training on that stuff, so until I do, I cant do any anything in it (at work).  I'm taking some online classes but I want hands on, and I thought that setting that up at home would be my best bet.

I have the ESXi disc, I am going to make a stab at installing it this weekend.
