The next server build
09:51 AM on Saturday 08 November 2014
I guess with the availability of Haswell-E, my next server will be based on that. With updated storage and DDR4 memory, it will probably meet my needs of more memory and storage.

SATA controller went south

Esther is always making art with her food. This one is made from dou hua and looks like a flower. She tells me that she always does this before she finishes it up and boy does she like dou hua. If there is a chance for it after a meal, she will always reserve some space for it.

Looking at the following picture taken using my iPhone 5S and processed using Snapseed on the same phone, it is amazing how much technology has advanced. What used to take a dedicated dSLR and post processing using a computer is now a trivial process on a phone. It is either amazing or it is showing ...
