一套近年少見的黑色幽默喜劇。雖然劇情空洞,但Iron Sky集第三帝國、月球背面的神秘UFO基地和諷刺大美國主義兩大元素為一身,電腦特技(CG)尤其值得觀看。
還有片頭的音樂Take Me to Heaven配得很絕,擺明抄Space Odyssey,感覺很Peaceful,其實是在諷刺地球人在不斷地自相殘殺。

This article from Mainland China revealed the secret of the latest Equallogic hardware architecture.
PS6100 uses 64bits RISC CPU which provided by NetLogic XLS616, it has 4 MIPS cores with 4 threads per core at 1Ghz each (ie, 16 total threads per CPU), and 1MB L2 Cache.
In contrast, PS4100 uses its younger brother NetLogic XLS608, which has 2 MIPS cores with 4 threads per core at 800Mhz each (ie, total 8 threads per CPU), and 1MB L2 Cache, so the processing speed has been cut at least 50%.
Everything else is the same except the above processor speed and number of cores. It is also interesting to learn about the super conductor instead of traditional BBU cache for data.



I was told Power Connect 52xx/54xx series switches are optimized for VoIP and they are no longer recommended by Equallogic as 50% of the available buffers are reserved for VoIP unless you change the setting and REBOOT the switch.
I haven’t tried the following VoIP setting recommended by EQL as I don’t want to mess around my optimized configuration file.
Besides, I think there is an alternative way which I’ve completely disabled VoIP setting using PowerConnect 5448 GUI. There is a check for you to disable VoIP in the Switch session under the GUI.
Go to each switch and do the following:
Put the switch into admin and configuration mode.
enable
configure
Disable/remove iSCSI and VoIP optimization
voice vlan oui-table remove 00036b
voice vlan oui-table remove 00096e
voice vlan oui-table remove 0001e3
voice vlan oui-table remove 000fe2
voice vlan oui-table remove 0060b9
voice vlan oui-table remove 00d01e
voice vlan oui-table remove 00e075
voice vlan oui-table remove 00e0bb
Exit from configuration mode
exit
Save the configuration
copy running-config startup-config
When ready, type ‘reload’ to reboot
reload
這次回溫哥華,竟然給我找到了不少的珍貴文物。
那年留學英倫,有幸第一次去看溫布頓,那天親眼見到了正在冒起的網壇天王Pete Sampras,還有兩JIM大戰:Jimmy Connors vs Jim Courier, it was a classic match!

City of Montreal, this was the view from my apartment window almost 20 years ago, it is just like yesterday…
* Just in case you wonder, the white spot near IBM tower is NOT an UFO, it’s a commercial airship.

Just came back from my trip to Vancouver. It was such a paradise with nice weather, beautiful scenery, wonderful food and most importantly free tennis courts with deep forest nearby.





I used to be a cheese cake lover, the best one I remember was the New York cheese cake from Mandarin Oriental (HK) cake shop. Then I had too much of it, so I quit.
This little shop in downtown Vancouver was definitely a rediscovery of cheese cake for me, especially the unique taste of this Maple Walnut one and the double chips chocolate cookie as the compliment!

This latest brief review compared the pros and cons of the leading backup vendors for VMware ESX. (In Chinese).
It only touched the surface, not technical oriented and in fact not detail at all, sounds more like a marketing material to me.



我總覺得攝影就是簡單地把自己那一刻的感覺捕捉下來,什麼學院派攝影技巧都是其次。
這幅照片表達的就是這種與生俱來的感覺,面對諾大的紐約中央公園模特完全釋放自己的一剎那,攝影師Patrick Lichfield的靈感油然而生,然後喀嚓按下了快門,經典由此而生。
