Christening the Le Creuset
Last week I got my Le Creuset and resolved to break it in soon, which I was able to do tonight when I made scalloped potatoes with some leftover ham from Easter last year that’s been sitting in my freezer for the last nine months. Tasty. I basically began with the recipe in my Better…

My big empty deck
My deck now sits empty, thanks to the new rules regarding grills and the snow, but fear not. I have a plan to return it to it’s previous state of awesome. I didn’t do a whole lot with the deck this summer because it was still a work in progress. I realize it can be…

Update: EqualLogic Madness
I had written a couple of weeks ago about some EqualLogic madness I was experiencing with a PS4000 array that we had installed for a customer earlier this year. Because they needed additional performance and capacity, the customer got an additional array, and once we had that in the group we were able to evacuate…

I should have resolved to bowl 100+ this year.
That way, I could cross something off my list of goals for 2011 on day 4 of the new year. Given that I’ve been bowling in the upper 90s for a week or two now though, that’s not much of a goal. It’s about as challenging as “get in to work on time this year”…occasionally…

Activites I have latent skills in
Soccer Ultimate Frisbee Dodgeball Underwater basket weaving? (I’ve never tried) Malware detection and removal (in most cases) I suppose that’s why we practice these things. Including running. My showdown with the treadmill was this morning, and I managed to hit my goal. I did two quarter-mile “laps” at a reasonable pace (read: brisk jog), then…

I swore I was going to do my own paint job on this blog…
And I still will. But it’s taking longer than anticipated to get it taken care of, and I got really tired of the really bland looking theme, so you all get something tasty for now. Someday. Soon. There will be a built-from-scratch theme. Promise.

…and there you have it, folks.
You’ve squashed another three-day weekend listening to Car Talk. Or something like that. Regrettably, none of the weekend was spent listening to Car Talk, although now that they have it in podcast form, I might have to listen to it while I am rebuilding a bunch of virtual servers tomorrow. Instead, there was the previously…

2011: now with that fresh, new year smell!
I had originally planned on doing a couple of posts somewhere between last Thursday’s meatfest and today, but the last week’s been kind of crazy. Because I’m lazy and don’t feel like duplicating efforts, I have decided that my Christmas shall be documented in picture form. Easier on the eyes, and easier on my fingers.…

Puppies and Meatfest
To those of you who have been clamoring for pictures to liven up the blog, consider your needs met. This post contains approximately 3 times more pictures than the rest of this entire blog put together. Last night I began the simultaneously sad and awesome process of retiring my grill. For my birthday I had…

EqualLogic Madness
Over the last year or so, we’ve had the chance to play with Dell’s EqualLogic line of SAN arrays. We’ve sold a few to some customers, and as far as I’m concerned, the way those things operate are 10% logic and 90% magic. A couple of the guys from the office have gotten some formal…
Got any book recommendations?
