Break

It was windy, hot and kind of humid today at lunch. It was still preferable to go out to the parking garage and just sit there listening to nothing for a couple of minutes. Sent out a couple of texts. Day dreamt for a minute. Got up and went back in. Wouldn't have traded it for a stake.

This means there was no lunch conversation to speak of. I did attend afternoon break at about 15:00. The turn out was light. My buddy Adam moved to the fifth floor and swore he would still attend tea time as we call it. I suppose he was just too busy to turn up. Still, He was missed. Mostly because I wanted to show off my REI French Press coffee cup. It is pretty slick. It does only make one cup. Even using the standard issue Folger's coffee in our lunch room, the output was pretty darn good. It is just too bad that French Press coffee is so dang bad for you. It is loaded with cholesterol.

Some people just don't know how to act. Someone in a neighboring room basically shouted a cuss word while playing a game of cards while at break this afternoon. I heard it clearly and HR is right next to my office. She was in. The odds of her not hearing it are slim. Way to mess thing sup for the rest of us heathen. They are playing go fish for God's sake. How excited can you get?

One of the topics at break was separating the sound from a DVD. I have not tried this, but I'm sure it is doable. I'm thinking any of the video editing softwares out there that support the DVD format will let you strip the video to a raw file. Then you can slice and dice to your heart's desire.

After that, we spoke of work. At what point does a specific 2 U server out pace two specific 1 U servers? This is crazy because there are all kinds of places where you have bottle necks. The 2 U only has one bus so you have to put all your data through it. The two 1 U servers will act independently from one another and allow true multiple channels. It boils down to finding the knot holes and eliminating them. It is not easy.

We also went over the large number of people taking tomorrow off. Some are taking Monday as well. Someone came in last Sunday to work and only he and the big boss were here. That kind of situation can go in any direction.
