You are limited by your own imagination.

If you can imagine it, you can make it happen. I truly believe that. I do not listen to experts because their ideas, although they are good, limit my imagination. I do not read books for the same reason.

What a nice people Americans are ...

I see signs in Spanish, Chinese and other languages I do not know in public places. This is not just to accommodate visitors from other countries. Those signs are for people who live here.

I would expect people who live here to read and write English. But that do not seems to be case here. Only in America, people can live without speaking or understanding the language of that country.

To make email server even faster.

8月

5日

We have developed one of the fastest (if not the fastest) and most stable Email POP3 (mailbox) software for Windows Server platform in the world. We are using those servers to mange half a million email accounts on 35,000 domains. Each server can process over 10 email every second. The POP3 service that comes standard with Windows server can process 2 or 3 every second.

One of the processes running on the POP3 server that is taking a lot of resources is SPAM filtering. We are planning to release a servers that sits just before the POP3 server to take care of all the SPAM email processing. This should make our POP3 service another 20 to 30% faster (if not more).

Here are the picture of 6 brand new servers that will process SPAM before they get to the POP3 servers.

We are always innovating in the software and investing in the hardware to make your Internet experience enjoyable.

This week

I am planning to organize what I supposed to be doing. Mainly, I need to organize all the R&D projects. We need to develop better quality control and documentations.

I am also concerned about the amount time each project is taking. I need to get better reporting from the development team.

I know everybody is working hard, but working hard does not mean working smart. We need to handle the project better and faster without adding cost.

Blue Angeles

8月

3日

Today was the highlight of the SEAFAIR weekend. Blue Angles gave their performance over lake Washington.

I learned few things today about Blur Angles. The planes that they are using is the oldest naval planes. They are F-18 Hornet A. I thought they would be using newer planes.

There are over 130 people in the Blue Angles team. I did not know that either. They perform over 30 weekends ... The season is longer than Major League Baseball or PGA golf. I did not know that.

Seattle is lucky to have Blue Angeles every year.

Last day of July.

This month started with the fire at Fisher Plaza. This brought us to operation and direction changes. First of all, we are building a micro data center at the PSPINC HQ building. This building will serve as a fail over facility.

Not having the second data center is a good move, because we do not have enough people to take care of two equally valuable data centers. Plus, having better connectivity with the sound hosting facility under our nose is much easier to manage. Plus whatever the money that we use is now a investment in our facility rather than expense.

We are not going to be building another Fisher Plaza like facility ... But that is exactly the point. I call it a micro data center project. It might be about time data center got smaller and more manageable size.

PS: The heat wave had passed and dogs are happy again.
