Gen 3 consoles …what to choose?

Well…im looking to buy a 3rd gen console……..So far i’ve taken a look at Wii & Xbox 360…The Wii offers great gameplay but the graphics are nothing to jump in the sky for. The 360 offers good gameplay, awesome graphics and all the driving games i can ask for :) ….

I havent checked the PS3 out yet since it costs stock more then 900$ here in Iceland but however it offers the option of runing Linux ….But i can get far better desktop machine for 1000$ :)

So far im sold on the Xbox 360, a friend is selling his 360 and is going to loan it to me tomorrow evening ….i’ll check it out and see if thats what i want…..

Everything else is the same, work is killing me….i’ve again canceled my WoW account since my play time for the last 2-3 months has been less then 1 hour i think ….But i’ve spent more time in front of my TV so thats why i am looking at getting a console, hoping to spend more time not in front of my desktop computer :)

Well …laters

Dukes of Hazzard….I want a General Lee!

Hi …

I want a Dodge Charger 69 panted orange as General Lee! :D ….Was watching Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning earlier and even for a TV movie i gotta give it up for them :) ….i’ve never wanted a Dodge Charger more :D …the next thing todo is start start a moonshining business:D….Looking for staff :D *grin*

Well…..nothing new here, worked with some IBM xSeries x3650 boxes this week and man, those boxes rock! :D I’ll be installing one with 12Gb of RAM & 2x 2.7 Xeons (5100 series) next week behind a pair of IBM SVC’s and dual HBA’s for multi fabric connectivity ….can’t hardly wait :) …..It’s a box for replacing a old Oracle 10G RAC. After reviewing our options we found out that the RAC setup is no good for the application it was serving so finally we got our management to replace it with a single box, with a option to add it to a cluster later on (Redhat Cluster Suite or comparable clustering software).

Nothing more to say here…im tired :D

Finnzi is out of here ….

Weekend at last ….

Howdy!

Well….nothing much to say……last thursday was the day of the beer….that ofcourse mean that i had to drink 3 beers that evening;)……..Also my sister and her boyfriend just moved in a new appartment here in Reykjavik and they invited some of their friends to come and celebrate on friday evening so i was forced to go there and have few drinks ….which ofcourse ended in one hell of a drinkfest :)

Then i spent most of the saturday hangover with my friend Jonni and searching for a new car for a friend of ours that just crashed his Toyota Landcruiser…..man do i think those bloody cars are expensive…..

I’m thinking about spending my saturday night drinking some more beer and read up on EMC storage boxes and failover configurations on linux since i need to implement a cluster solution based on Dell Poweredge 1955 blades and EMC Clariion CX300 storage box.

Well….im off…..
