Just went outside to play baseball and basketball with the Little Monkey. Jebus it is cold.

The cardas cable on my old 650 was the only time I thought I heard a difference between cables. Real, placebo, bad hearing...all possible.

More Nikon deals at amazon.

x-rays negative! Just some bursitis and a nice big bruise. And, yes, Greg, I'm done with running I think and need to get back to Spin class.

The 650 is better.

X-ray on my knee that I smashed into the floor on Tuesday night when I slipped on the fucking bamboo wearing socks. I'm sure it's ok, but I have bad knees so just want to make sure there's no fracture.
Got the Drobo up and running after messing it up a little bit. All seems good now. Have the Little Monkey with me for several more days. Weekend and St. Patrick's Day coming up, so let the good times roll.

The Kinks -- Complicated Life:
"Gotta stand and face it,
Life is so complicated.
Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah
Gotta get away from the complicated life, son,
Life is overrated, life is complicated,
Must alleviate this complicated life.Gotta get away from the complicated life, son,
Gotta get away from the complicated life." -
Just adding that Ari's the best.

Happy birthday!

When it appeared that they were going to do a logic board swap on my iMac, I expressed my concerns about the cosmetics, etc. The guy said they get that all the time and are very very careful to return it in the same cosmetic condition. I got a new one so can't confirm, but he at least seemed to take my concern seriously.

Finally set up the airmotiv 5s. They are very good.

Fucking logic boards.

Just upgraded our internets from slow ADSL to moderately fast cable. A pretty good start as they arrived on time, did their work quickly and efficiently and actually knew what they were talking about. Actually kind of scary as I think this may be one of the signs for the end of days.
At least we now know the End Times will be quick and efficient.

Happy Birthday!

I think that's right. And the 5D also has a dedicated slot for an extra SSD I guess to essentially cache stuff but from what I've read its effectiveness is debatable.
-
That sounds like it would work, Dan. So you mean the mirrored array would back up the Drobo (and I guess the HD on the 'puter, too)?
-
Ugh, the noise is a dealbreaker for me. The other day I ordered one of those Monster power filters (i.e., fancypants ripoff power strip) and returned it immediately because it emitted a low, but audible buzz constantly. Reviews noted it, too. Great characteristic in an A/V product.
I guess one other thing I'd need to be concerned about with the Drobo is backup. I don't want to get another Drobo box to backup Drobo box (WHERE DOES IT END?!) but I would need something. All of which brings me back to maybe I'm better off just sticking with one external HD for content and one for backup.

i've been thinking about it.
on my old drobos i never did get the email notifications when I had hard drive failures though.
im sure I set it up wrong, but then again its supposed to be idiot proof.
i guess they will always build a better idiot.
the drives that haven't failed are getting pretty old at this point and I should really do something about it.
i do have 2 of the la cie ssd thunderbolt drives and they absolutely smoke anything else i've ever had.
too bad they are too small to put a music library on. they are annoyingly loud though. its stupid loud.
Agree re the SSDs. I am looking forward to prices falling enough so that I can use them for my music library.
What was loud, the SSD or the Drobo?
-
I was thinking about that but I want Thunderbolt.
-
Anyone have experience with the Drobo 5D--good or bad?
-
Going to my first game of the season on Friday.
-
My iMac will finally be ready tomorrow (or so they say). Now it is unclear whether they got a new machine or stuffed a bunch of new boards into my old machine.
This seems to have worked out in the end. New machine. Seems to be working fine.
