I accidentally discovered the following on Wiki today, simply copy and paste the song into Youtube, then you had your magically Pandora Box.

Grammy Award for Song of the Year

Grammy Award for Record of the Year

I just can’t stop loving the great music from the 60 and 70s, and those are the real music for real people.

Btw, I came to know Roberta Flack only by today and found out she’s also the original writer and singer for Killing Me Softly (1973)

Enjoy!

Free Tools from VKernel

By admin, May 4, 2011 4:52 pm

It seemed the market for 3rd party virtualization tools is really heating up, this time it’s VKernel offers some free apps for those who love every bites of those nice looking GUI based tools.

  • ApplicationVIEW
  • CapacityVIEW
  • StorageVIEW
  • Capacity Modeler 

I’ve tried them all, well, it does what it suppose to, which is just to give you a very preliminary of what your current virtual infrastructure is and also present you some problems it discovered, to get into more details, you have to pay as expected. Well, to some extend, I don’t like VKernel’s free tools, as they are really does nothing but to get you into buying their products, by contract, Veeam is doing much better for the free products that’s actually useful, so I’ve uninstalled all 4 after 30 mins of testing as I found they are really not useful at all.

A few years back, I was seriously consider buying VMkernel’s chargeback product as it’s more advanced than VMware’s chargeback product, but both contains flaw and drawbacks. After almost 3 years, I still don’t see anyone on the market offers a good cloud based chargeback/billing panel for easy to use and customize to individual company’s requirement, if you know any new comer, please drop me a line, thanks.

Delicious Mediterranean Salad for Lunch

Mix Greens from Australia, Cherry Tomatoes from Israel, Organic Cucumber from Local, Feta Cheese from Greek, and a touch of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic from Italy. Together with a slice of home baked bread and some left over Carbonara, this makes a perfect lunch!

The cost for the salad per serve is about HK$25, way cheaper and healthier than buying the ready-made ones from super market, this price of course not counting the labor that is. :)
