For those interested, NTG now has the Drobo B800i iSCSI SAN being used as a datastore for a XenServer cluster in the NTG Labs.

Yesterday night I got an iPad mini retina 🙂
Initially after @scottalanmiller post I was almost ready to get a kindle but then thought of my next exams to take this year. We have a corporate cbt nuggets which I use extensively and so decided to get iPad which could be used for both reading and cbt plus you know! 😉

Woke up very early and playing around with the new toy. ML looks great on iPad too 🙂

Nice unit. I plan on trading my iPad 2 for an iPad Mini Retina later this year. We use those for the office. Kindle is just for reading.

With the exception of manufacturing and companies dealing in physical items, the office isn't the company anymore. It's just where people come to work. Keeping legacy infrastructure around goes against that culture shift.

That's very true. It's amazing how so many people are missing that.

Speaking of Linux Server.. correct me if i am wrong can i use Linux as my server then my client computers are Windows?

Yes. But it depends what you are serving. "Server" and "client" only mean "provides a service" and "consumes a service" so the terms are pretty loose. But to prove what you ask is true, you are currently reading this website on Windows (the client.) The site itself is running on Linux (the server.) So this interaction that we are having right now is both of us using Windows as the client and Linux as the service.

Likewise you can use Office 365 on a Linux machine. So Windows is the server and Linux is the client in that case.

The more diverse the ecology, the better for gaming.

Yes indeed.

Not bad. I'm on FF right now but it hasn't updated yet.

That's pretty cool. LIDAR is a fascinating technology to me.

well...happy belated Birthday from me!! @joefriedman

This is the Unreal engine. So tons of games will be based on that.

Some weird glitch there.
