– It is because of the multi-core processors. The machines doesn’t work that way and you know this… every bit counts. – Why can’t we network it? The speed is there and it has been for quite some while. + Gbit Ethernets, that is as fast or faster than the discs? – You need power… Continue reading Why Can’t You Write An OS Working In Parallel?

And It Is A Friday
I know… the absolute worst case scenario, whilst performing an upgrade/change. – We thought about everything? (Hopefully…). – Are we ready to commit this upgrade? – Yes. – Months of planning and testing. Someone (you) need to press “Enter” at some point. Push the upgrade onto the farm; system-wide upgrade on 10000:s opon 1000:s of… Continue reading And It Is A Friday
It Is Time
20 years? It took me a time to actually sign up… so I guess my: Joined on February 25, 2006 is somewhat of a late starter? The aim was and has always have been the same to keep track of the collection, no actually it is the love for the music, formats, details and the… Continue reading It Is Time

Light (photons) beams travel in straight lines. Please see: Continuous Stream.
Sistema-S
Have you heard of Sistema-B? Well, Sistema-M is different thing altogether. Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometres (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of that day’s Family Portrait series of images… Continue reading Sistema-S

Lost In Translation/The Really Hard Ones
Assembly. Machine code. As close as you’ll ever get to a binary machine. Can you get closer? Maybe Fortran? I am an analyst, not and nor will ever be a programmer… made it to the moon and back.
I Most Certainly Concur
It is easier if you know what it actually says… Phoenecia would know or? The phrase “scientia potentia est” (or “scientia est potentia” or also “scientia potestas est”) is a Latin aphorism meaning “knowledge is power”. It is commonly attributed to Sir Francis Bacon, although there is no known occurrence of this precise phrase in… Continue reading I Most Certainly Concur
Continuous Stream
My physics teacher once told us in class: – Now, we’re going to do an experiment that you (little ones) will never understand. – By the way, I don’t either. It is a continuous stream of particles = laser. Photons are particles yet they behave like a wave at the same time. That is a… Continue reading Continuous Stream
It’s Alive!
Fig 1. Fig 2. Fig 3. Fig 4. CCTV industrial styled outfit. Air plane grade aluminium casing, 15 odd years old and in perfect working condition. Sanyo product. Origin? I’m not telling (it’s from a pole 5 – 7 meters up somewhere on SoSo). 220 – 230V and grounded. Connected to the TV; BNC spliced… Continue reading It’s Alive!
