Liquor distribution the State of Washington will be privatized.
I like it.

Why?

Do I think companies do better job than the government?

No ... I don't really care whether companies do better job or not. When the government fails, we have to pay them out. When companies fail, only the investors loose. I know who is accountable when it is privatized. What is why I like privatization of governmnet.

Power Consumption of MacPro

I purchased APC UPS 350VA for my MacPro. I guess 350VA was not enough to supply power to this power hungry MacPro. I need to buy bigger UPS.

Privatizing

12月

28日

I am a fan of privatizing any part of government. Private companies tends to do things cheaper and more efficient than the government but sometime they cut corners to make profit. That where government come in. When government do things, there is no one to regulate and oversea but themselves. I don't just that.

We just pass the initiative to privatize liquor distribution the State. Next should be metro and sound transit.

Service Availability for 2011

12月

27日

As of today, our service availability (up time) for 2011 stand at 99.97%. Our goal is 100% but our promise is 99.9%. We cleared our promise but we are not happy with the result. We will be making system more stable for 2012 and try to be as close as to 100%.

What is 99.97% mean?

It means our email and web hosting service was down little over 2 hours 30 minuets this year. Considering we have over 500 servers, 38,000 customers, 250,000 email accounts and over 200 mbps of traffic every second, it gotten much better than used to.

I am sorry if I offended anyone by saying "Marry Christmas!"
I am not religious by saying this at all.

Something less to think about ...

At least for now, you do not think or worry about other search site than Google. For now people should be concentrate on Google ranking. When 85% of people use Google, we do not really need to think about any other sites.

I really wish Yahoo and Bing do something different to make it more valuable.

This information is as of 2011/11.

I was in Los Angeles last week, and it was warm and beautiful. Back in Seattle, it is cold and today it is wet. I planed to play gold today, but I might not be able play. But I am planning to go to he club and have breakfast.

I tend to stay more inside when the weather is bad. So I work more in Seattle. I would not be working as much if I were in sunny California.
