Yet another day at work, huh?

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Today we had an entertaining and exciting afternoon at work. Yesterday I did the last check about data migrated from our old SAN and today some of my co-workers decided it was time to get it out of the data center. Some short info on the SAN: it’s an IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server 800 a.k.a IBM Shark SAN, it provides the enormous amount of 6(!!!) TB of disc space and it’s HUGE. See for your self:

I’m relived and lucky that no person at all got hurt, but I can not promise you that the SAN is still fully functional. However it wouldn’t surprise anyone if it was, it’s an old IBM giant steel monster.

Should I bother to blog?

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

It’s been a long long time since I wrote my last blog entry. Frankly, I don’t find myself a very interesting person and I certainly don’t have any interesting to blog about. I just do the ordinary boring stuff every day like go to work and study. Well, not that I think anyone still reads this blog by now but I could write about just that, my ordinary boring life. Except that I just don’t get why people do that, why would you tell the world about all the boring and plain stuff you do every day? Who is interested in that?!

What I find even less interesting and actually a bit frustrating is people that have a blog and never post anything on it. Yep, that would be people like me. At this point I’m considering to just delete my blog forever or if I should bother to try posting something interesting or at least somewhat entertaining a bit more regularly. Since my website would be even more boring if I didn’t have a blog that’s a pro for keeping it, the con on the other hand is that I don’t have anything interesting to blog about.

I could blog about things like that Ubuntu 10.10 was released today, but mostly everyone I know that got a blog are doing just that. More interesting could be to try it out and blog about it, but wait a few hours and the same people that bloged about the release will have that subject covered as well. I guess people find that interesting to read about and I don’t blame them, but myself I’m a RHEL/CentOS/Fedora user who don’t find it very interesting to read about new releases. Oh okey, I admit new RHEL releases is a bit interesting to read about. A side from that, why does everything seem so utterly boring and uninteresting to blog about? Could it be that everyone else already did or is it because they already know?

If we, for now, assume that I will keep my blog and I want to write about things that would interest not only my nearest and dearest. Assuming that the possible topics are within the categories about me and my life, computers or all of the above. What would you find interesting to read about from my point of view?
