Monday October 30, 2006 Congratulations, Cardinals!
I would like to express my belated congratulations to the St Louis Cardinals. While I am a Royals fan myself - yes, I am not ashamed to admit it - I am pleased with their victory.While the poor play of Detroit obviously contributed to the Cardinals' victory, St Louis earned the title. Their pitching was impressive and, most importantly, players lower in the lineup stepped up and played well, obviating the need for their superstars to carry the team. This championship was truly a team effort.
Congrats, Cards! ( Oct 30 2006, 11:04:37 AM PST ) Permalink
Wednesday October 18, 2006 Datacenter in a Can?
Or rather datacenter in a shipping container. Yesterday, Sun announced Project Blackbox - a prototype datacenter packed neatly into a standard 20-foot shipping container. This form factor facilitates the rapid deployment of an impressive amount of compute power, taking advantage of existing transportation infrastructure to do so. Ship it in; hook it up to power, water, and network sources; and you're ready to rock!I am dying to take a peek inside one of these containers. Since I am based in Broomfield, I will just have to settle for pictures for now.
Now that we have shown the world ours, maybe Google will trot theirs out as well. :-) ( Oct 18 2006, 12:35:26 AM PDT ) Permalink
