Currently I am involving in a massive virtualization project that I am responsible for transforming and restructuring client’s 10 years old enterprise datacenter into something Much GREEN, mainly using VMWare’s vShpere and Dell Equallogic iSCSI SAN as the their major storage solution. Each node will be deployed on the latest Dell Poweredge R815 powered by AMD’s 12-core “Magny-Cours” Opteron with 128GB memory on each server, latest technology like DRS/HA/FT/vStorage/DPM making a long time dream comes true finally. 

Recently, I find myself can’t live without virtualization more and more, for example the above will result in consolidating 10 racks to 3 servers and 2 Equallogic 6000 series boxes occupying half rack only with much reliable fault tolerance and failover as well as at a fractional cost than before, just think about the electricity and rack space saving alone, making virtualization irresistible!

一個英文網頁上有一文，題為”This is beautiful 3 things”，讀後覺得很有意思，謹介紹一下。括號內是我加的按語。

※生命中三樣東西一旦去了就再也追不回來，它們是：時間；詞語；機會。（詞語的意思是說，一旦說出去的話就收不回來。這三樣東西都要好好把握。）

※生命中三樣東西是你永遠不會也不應失去的，它們是：和平；希望；誠實（ Honesty）。（和平當然不是指世界和平，而是心境的和平；人不管處在如何困難的境地也不要失去希望；誠實所指也是個人修為。）

※生命中三樣東西是最有價值的，它們是：愛；自信；朋友。（愛和朋友指排除因功利而建立的愛與朋友關係。）

※生命中三樣東西是永遠不確定的，它們是：夢想；成功；運氣（ Fortune）。（怎樣才算實現夢想？成功，運氣，又如何定義？）

※生命中三樣東西足以成就一個男人/女人（ that make a man/ woman）：勤奮；真誠（ Sincerity）；承擔（ Commitment）。（也許這是做人的基本要求，少了這三樣，很難說是一個真正的人。）

※生命中三樣東西足以毀掉一個男人/女人：酗酒；傲慢；憤怒。（酗酒的人不常見，但傲慢與憤怒則是許多人常有的毛病。至於吸毒，濫性，嗜賭成癮，則已超出正常人生之外，不屬「人生三件事」的討論範圍了。）

※生命中三樣東西一旦失去就難以再建立：尊重；信任；友誼。（三者中以信任最重要，尊重和友誼都由信任建立。）

※生命中三樣東西若擁有就不會失敗：真正的愛；果斷；信念。（真正的愛，應不是單指男女之愛吧，儘管那是人生的重要部分。）

這是值得記住的人生之三。

We have two new friends tom-yuen and eleclau, many thanks for joining us today!

I think tom-yuen is Wong Sir’s 高徒 , he quickly broke my 節奏, I lost my patience quickly as well and for some reasons, I’ve broken my DF record today (90% !!!) . So the result is very straight forward, 6:0 (love being me of course haha), I enjoy playing with him as he and Wong Sir can really train up our mind and patience, I do look forward to play with these type of 拉力賽專家 in the future. 

Then we played two tie-breaks, I still got many DF, I even changed to the other side of court (so definitely not 風水問題 ), so I figured out no matter how many sets we are going to play, I will just continue to receive eggs if I don’t change something in my game.

I also enjoyed playing with eleclau, he’s young with lots of energy and we had a close game, I am sure he can improve a lot given he only played 2 years and he had already reached a good level.

Strange enough, I have also maintained some of my best 2 serving games today against Dave, that’s right after playing with tom-yuen, and my serving winning ratio is in 70%, these serves are fast, solid and with angle, few aces down the T (My favourite position on ad court)

Of course, I also received 4 straight aces from Dave, that’s when I starting to call him “Ace Serving Machine”, Man! Those 110mph serve is just too good for me.

I really don’t know how to explain the dramatic difference within 1 hour regarding my serve, but I do notice one thing, I BEND MY KNEES and work like a spring which made a huge difference.

今天的開心是與眾不同的﹐而且感覺很奇妙﹐有D怪﹐但還是很好玩。

今天有一堆新朋友(ahwongwongwong, wai_jpm, sureclever & cowbay)加入﹐最為突出的就是friendly1之前提過的ahwongwongwong(黃Sir)﹐另一個令我甘拜下風的前輩。

他的球速並不快(可以說是慢)﹐但打法很奇特﹐stanley112c的正反slide+friendly1對電腳+最重要擁有其特別的贏波方式(回個短球﹐再lob爆你)﹐我試過給他在任何位置都lob過﹐包括網前都lob到我波﹐情形有點像Neil講過的高lob明。嘗試放過他短波或者上網volley時回個大斜角﹐但他仍然可以用閃電的速度衝來救到個波﹐然後又lob到你左右corner位﹔或者救到我認為已經沒救的大斜角﹐回給我的是個更驚喜更斜的大斜角﹐天啊﹐問你死未﹗

原來之前外國朋友Dave早已經跟他打過幾次(世界這麼小)﹐“中國道長”就是他了(阿黃則稱Dave為巨人)﹐他倆打時情形就如街機Final Fight 中國道長VS西洋巨人般好看﹐因為仙風道骨的道長總能以四兩撥千斤的姿態在談笑風生間化解危機﹐轉敗為勝﹗談話中得知黃Sir教物理科目﹐可能他已經成功地把幾十年的物理理論融會貫通到網球裡了﹐怪不得這麼的厲害﹗

同黃Sir打波真是一種心理和身體的嚴峻考驗﹐我輸得心服口服﹐好玩之於﹐還偷到師﹐年過半百仍體力充沛的皇上把很多真正的後生仔都比下去了﹐真令小弟羨慕和慚愧不已﹗

最後還要多謝sureclever借比我試用他的新BLX Tour。Btw, Charles, your serve has improved a lot today, keep up the good work!

Btw, I just came across TB’s post 【香港業餘網球精英杯】單打 DivII now, and found out today’s new friend wai_jpm ranked #1 in Div II A.

今日wai_jpm來的時候極少聽到他講話﹐全場聽到最多的是黃Sir的開朗笑聲。

原來溫靜書生型的他是個隱藏的高手﹗No Wonder !!!

真系打玩宜家先知﹐今天總覺得有些事怪怪地﹐all my questions have been solved now! I can sleep well now.

如果要用一句成語來形容今日﹐莫非“臥虎藏龍”所屬﹗

Many many thanks everyone for joining today’s 1 year anniversary gathering!  

Hope everyone enjoy the day and wish you all like the dessert. 

哎呀﹗我可能昨晚太開心了﹐整晚挂住今日個聚會﹐搞到只睡著了3-4個鐘﹐所以今天狀態真的不大好﹐大部份時間應該是在夢遊﹐用白SIR的話系我今日大部份時間在打邊爐 (ie, 個人有D Sap下Sap下  )。

noddytennis & sl-matthew, nice to meet you, 對不起﹐我初頭到果陣﹐個人還比較迷茫﹐沒能及時認到新朋友。

還有就是收錢的時候對大家說每人大約$40﹐但有幾位話太便宜﹗﹖  ﹐好似沒計算Cake錢﹐情急之下﹐竟然記錯數﹐收左$45一位﹐其實應該是每人大約$41才對﹐小弟先差住你地先$4﹐下次見到面一定扣番 (please kindly remind me)﹐或者請PM你地D恆生/HSBC銀行賬號給我都得。

ie, $50 x 6 (court fee) + $50 (balls) + $96 (cake) = $446 / 11 people = $40.5 ~ $41

最後請PM你地個電郵比我﹐好等我SEND番D靚相比大家。

Last but not least, 多謝阿Neil最後都特登趕來同w00t一齊幫我手Book場。

See you all after Easter Holiday and Happy Tennis!!!

With the new release of Intel’s latest Xeon CPU (Nehalem-EX) for the enterprise market, 32-Cores on a standard 2U server is no longer a dream. Think about what you can do with 32-Cores (64-Cores counting the HT) and 128GB Ram in a standard 2U for your next virtualization project! Get it? Yes, you could put almost the whole mini data center (that’s 1998 standard, say 128 servers, each with PIII 1G with 1G Ram per server) on to it, see the cost saving? Bingo!!!

The New Nehalem-EX Advantage:

• Intel Nehalem Architecture built on Intel’s unique 45nm high-k metal gate technology process
• Up to 8 cores per processor
• Up to 16 threads per processor with Intel® Hyper-threading
• Scalability up to eight sockets via Quick Path Interconnects and greater with third-party node controllers
• QuickPath Architecture with four high-bandwidth links
• 24MB of shared cache
• Integrated memory controllers
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• Intel scalable memory buffer and scalable memory interconnects
• Up to 9x the memory bandwidth of previous generation
• Support for up to 16 memory slots per processor socket

I just finished watching a recent movie called “New York, I Love You” (2009)
and it really did surprise me at the end, as it was directed by Jiang Wen! Unbelievable!
