10 days? Yes, it is time for an update.

At some point in time, I have to figure out why I keep neglecting this blog. Actually, I’ve been in renovation mode again at home. Last year, I tackled my living room and the year before was the kitchen. This year it’s my office. The plan is to move the servers out of my office and move it to a dedicated data center (by dedicated data center, I mean the small room in the first floor of my house). This opens the room up and it can actually be treated like a working office.

You read that correctly. I’m building a server room in my house complete with a Sun server cabinet, UPS, and proper cooling (read: portable air conditioning). As I typed that, I felt my geek quotient go up +5 (which also affords me 10 attack points when I carry a computer).

So the scope of this round of renovations are actually two-sided: the server room and the office. The plan for the office is to turn it into an actual office/livable guest bedroom. Fix the network connections, repaint the walls a different color, reorganize the junk and install a full sized whiteboard on one of the walls for doodling and support for my ADHD.

wow, good luck with the renovation! too bad i don’t have a “dedicated data centre.” i’d love to have one…
but i do have a multi-purpose bedroom that can be converted to an eating area, a living space and an office…but that still doesn’t come close to the coolness of your “dedicated data centre.”

I've never been good at writing about me/site pages. It seems too much like self-promotion and being the stereotypical passive-agressive asian; I would rather walk around a crowd and into a train rather than interact with a bunch of people. I'm shy that way, which also contradicts this website that talks about me and my life. My friends and family would care to disagree though, since they've seen my crazy & loud side. More »
