Outstanding. Wish I knew you were down this way, we could have gotten breakfast lunch or dinner depending. Perhaps next time. Seriously from your place to Wilmo, you are within 200yds of my place.

You drove way past me. I'll correct to you were within a few miles of my house as you drove down 95. But DE/PA Ave is still only 15 mins from me and close to where my GF works. I'm in that area often. Were you near the Lexus dealer by chance? I had a consult with someone there last week. And was back again when my parents bought a new car. Also, the Union street Ale house is right there and a great place to grab a bite.
ETA - I'm closer to the rt92 exit.

Seriously, we NEED to do lunch soon. Well after my monthly event on Wed. But later this week or early next week. Lets make it happen. Maybe at the Union Street Grill.

Thanks for posting that photo
The screw you picture is most likely the one for POWEREDGE servers.
Looks like the ones in our poweredge. Those are described by Dell on the delivery receipt as 6-32X0.225 philips head screws. During the THAILAND FLOODS and resulting DRIVE SHORTAGE we had a member of a RAID fail and Dell could only offer 90 day warranty "refurbished" used drives for something in the neighborhood of $600.00 each. I went outside and found some RE4 drives for <$150 but needed extra screws to mount to perform the procedures of imaging to new array instead of subbing in different type to existing. I ended up buying some HOT SWAP drive caddies from eBay for $12.00 that included those screws. Looks like I only paid $4.00 for the caddy that does not fit my server to get the $8.00 worth of screws I needed. Quote:

I have been putting off the database server:
My big client, who is paying for much of the costs of the cage where the servers live, is getting flaky. They may end their project. If they do, we will have to leave the cage and return to standard co-location. If that happens, we will have to put everything on one server to save costs, and discard the idea of having a separate database server. That may have to happen anyway. The tip mug has not been filled in many moons and things are going to have to change. (I assume that is my fault, for being ornery and driving people away, but whatever.) |

You're a pantywaist. I can drive more people away, any day.

My big client has renewed their commitment to the cage. It's good news!
The DB server goes in Sunday. This will lead to a bit of down time. I expect to start at about 10pm EST. |

Yay! (Not because of the downtime, but because of the cage renewal. Two servers enter, one server leaves!!)

The server move did not happen last night as I was busy with other things and had driven too much already! It will happen this upcoming week.

This (DB server switchover) happened months ago and I only just now remembered to mention it!
But it was a good thing because the OLD server, which I'd been using for backup, just failed in the same way the original Cellar server did. |
