精緻的Bentley桃木表盒

By admin, May 9, 2011 1:44 pm

午飯後無聊的時候﹐總會到本地網上拍賣場閑逛﹐突然發現剛好2個鐘頭前有人以難以想象極低的價錢發售此精品﹐當機立斷馬上買了下來﹐並立即約好了當天晚上交收。

拿到貨後﹐稍微用碧麗珠清潔了一下﹐果然不出我所料﹐桃木盒子馬上重現出應有的貴氣﹐尤其是那深褐色光潔明亮的漆面散發出賓利木製品的獨特英倫優雅﹐真是越看越喜歡。

因為之前見過也摸過賓利真車的桃木裝飾﹐所以我一下子就認出來了這真的是Bentley的桃木表盒﹐這下可真淘到寶了﹗要知道任何Bentley桃木的精品至少都要近萬的﹐但這個漂亮盒子才2位數字﹐所以說可能是我近10年來大海撈針中最為值得的一件物品。

唯一不解的是近代的Bentley表都是由Breitling代工的﹐所以應該印有Breitling才對﹐難道這個盒子根本就不是用來裝表的﹖還是這個Bentley桃木表盒本身就是個古董﹖以前的表盒的確是印Bentley而不是Breitling的﹖

PS﹕今天也正式開啟了我收藏汽車品牌精品的道路。

vCloud Usage Meter

The installation of vCloud Usage Meter OVF Appliance is very easy, just remember to assign its network NIC to your vCenter subnet and then browse to http://vCloudUsageMeter:8080/serviceprovider, add vCenter and configure all the email settings.

I found vCloud Usage Meter is very useful even you are not using vCloud Director, it serves as a good measurement of your virtual infrastructure and you can generate reports to have a better understanding of your VM usage, best of all, it’s a free!

English Sunday Brunch

I really enjoy cooking this kind of stuff on a quiet Sunday morning. I still remember Nonna (Grandma in Italian, my land lady) used to cook this yummy dish every Sunday during my 2 years stay in Chichester, West Sussex, England, wow…that was 20 years ago. :)

Back in the 60 and 70s, there are so many musical groups with real music for real people, the following are some of the them I love the most!

Although I am not particularly like Country Music, but this song is the one that moves me, and it’s also the one Leslie Cheung performed in year 2000 CRHK IDClub Concert, Good Taste, GorGor!

Roberta Flack – What a Classic!

By admin, May 5, 2011 6:19 pm

It’s like a totally new re-discovery for me. I just came to know about Roberta Flack only yesterday after going through the list of Grammy’s Best Song of the Year, and surprisingly found she was the original singer of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (1973) and “Killing Me Softly” (1974)

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (1973), it’s such a Beautiful song!

Killing Me Softly (1974), definitely a classic! Roberta said she wrote this song after seeing Don McLean of American Pie fame in concert.

Enjoy!

The great hits from 60 and 70s, I just love them!

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.
