Should anyone ask, I “reformatted” some disks today.

data destruction time, originally uploaded by SimonTennant.

I found four 200GB disks left over from my last raid array. I am happy to report that they have been destroyed before being put in the rubbish bin. Chances of someone reconstructing all 4 disks into a working array were slim. With some hammer action, the chances are slimmer. “When you have a hammer in the hand everything seems like a nail”.

Should anyone ask, this will fit nicely on my new deck!

It’s a tempting prospect: A day of Oktoberfest drinking, coming back and collapsing into one of these. Tempting indeed. And would fit nicely in the corner of my new terrace. But at €3490 + heating costs + crane to hoist it up to the fourth floor, I may wait until an the announcement that an unknown relative has popped their clogs and I’m the only benefactor of their successful empire.

Tempting.

Should anyone ask, I forgot to draw cash

I’m moving soon. Closer to my favourite pool, Ungererbad.I arrived with just an hour to closing time (why they shut at 8pm in the Summer, I have no idea). Then realised I’d forgotten to draw cash. Was about to leave when the clerk waived me in. Fantastic.

I thought about this for the rest of the day. It’s really incredible what that custom service and bending of the rules did for me.

Was happy.
