Getting a good amount of windshield time for customer meetings in the valley area, my car is quickly getting littered with little LCD screens. Started with the IPOD, then a small GPS, then that GPS failed on me, so I started to see why rally drivers use multiple units (different manufacturers as well), so long trips find me with 2 GPS units, and my Blackberry chirping on Trapster, the K40 going (although usless against laser).... That being said, car has a nice 'glow' to it at night, however, nothing like the 144A car of Alex Roy: Sunday, January 10, 2010
So, it has been a week of travels, lots of windshield time, and the first week of the Mac's life in corporate america. With Fusion and Unity...things work out very well, and just stumbled on this video that I thought captured it perfectly: Saturday, January 02, 2010
Dad came over today, and we spent ALL day in the back garage on I think the coldest day of the year. GOOD time spent however, as we were fabricating new mount for the Snow Plow that I wanted to mount on the Bobcat. The goal was to take the plow I had for the ATV, and fashion/fabricate a homemade universal mount that mates up to the Bobcat universal system. After some quick mock ups, some disassembly of un-needed hardware from the plow mount that was used on the ATV, we were ready to start piecing things together. Now, if you have in the last year or so purchased any steel stock, you know it is NOT cheap. Well, Mom and Dad both live in Dublin, and they always walk the neighborhood. Being a rod guy, and all around good scavenger, dad would see folks throwing away old bed frames. Steel. Free. So he stock piled some, and when were ready to mount the plow, we had all the free steel would could need. THANKS DAD! Working with steel takes times. Time to cut, time to torch, weld...in the end, we have a completely removable and fully functional Bobcat universal mount built for the ATV plow. Tonight on the way home from dinner with the Fem and offspring, as it started snowing...I yelled out the van window in Ace Ventura style "Bring it father winter, I am ready!" :) Fabing up the mount with clamps:  Pops welding it up:  Just a couple of quick snaps as I was off to the showers before dinner. We spent 7 hours in 15 degree weather (the garage was warmer with the 88,000 BTU burner, but we ran out of propane)...   So now, I say bring on the snow. Bring a ton of it. The articulation of the boom with the blade should allow me to pile some seriously high snow. That with the weight of the cat, and the sheer torque it has...a snow machine made in heaven!!

Just started the P2V.... Remember folks. Any OS, from ANY device, from ANYWHERE. A mantra I heard from Steve Riley at Tech-Ed 2006... Quite the irony for my to have laptops side by side, new sucking the OS of the old off it ... just in case I need/want to run it. Doubt I will. Next work related project... my home vSphere 4 lab needs built. I treated myself to a new tool for 'work' today. Fem swears, it is just because I wanted it, but who am I to argue??? I have taken a new role within the company, one that has found me transitioning everything I have done for the last 3 years in the last month or so. Starting Monday, the final accounts I cover will be notified of the changes. I can't wait to start the new gig, so in doing so, I thought I needed a new machine to do so. Enter the new monster. I wanted small. I wanted a 'deal'. I wanted a mac. I wanted a ton of ram so I could P2V my corporate image to Fusion. Enter a deal I could not pass up:  First things first, it was time to crack the case. 1 -- NEEDED to see what it was like under that shiney new eggshell... 2 -- NEEDED to double the RAM (I will be running Vm's on here after all)  And I thought this was great. My XP (shell.dll hacked to Win7) corporate tug boat...doing it's best to not be P2V'd to its new home on my MacBook:  So far, I have Leopard fully patched, Office 2008 for Mac installed, patched, I have been tinkering with the Cisco VPN (built in not working yet), just installed Vmware Fusion -- going to P2V tomorrow...too tired tonight. Till next post... |
