This is what the server room looks like as of today. I don't see any update from yesterday. The construction is very slow. Can we really open this by the end of next month?

Upgrading The External Hard Disk Drive

10月

22日

I have been using Maxtor 500GB external hard disk drive for may backup since May 2008. Lately, the fan on this drive started make noise and was getting worse. So, I asked my company's support team to replace the fan.

We have opened the unit and found the fan just needed some lubrication. They took care of that. Then they ask me if I wanted to upgrade 500MB drive to 1TB drive. They had 4 1TB drives in stock. I said "Yes". and now I have 1TB external drive that is faster and quieter than before.

It took less than 1/2 hour for all this. If you have an external hard disk unit that is more than a year old, I recommend you swap your drive to bigger and better drive. It is one of the cheapest upgrades you can do to your computer.

Do you watch TV?

I don't usually have time to watch TV, but there are several TV series I really like to watch. One of such TV series is called "House". But I don't have time watch it on TV. I watch it on the Internet. The site is called hulu.com. This site is like watvhing TV at home. Try it and let me know what you think?

This site is only available in north America. I could not watch the show in Japan.

We are bringing in another fiber optic line into our HQ to make it redundant. This is a part of the effort to build secondary data center at our HQ facility.

How to make your blog more attractive.

10月

17日

(1) Shorter blog is better because people who visit usually have very short attention span.

(2) Have a picture or drawing to support your story.

(3) Quantity is more important than the quality. Update as many time as possible. You must keep the content fresh so that people have reasons to visit again and again.

(4) Make it original. Do not quote other blog or article. You need to say what you think rather than being a reporter. People are there to hear your story, not general information. Remember you are not FOX, CNN or NBC.

(5) Have fun with it. If you are not having fun, people will not either.
