Update

Hm, it seems like I totally forgot about this nice blog :( Actually, I didn\’t have anything to write, so I skipped it for some time, but now I though would be nice to drop couple of lines, so here is a short update on how it is going at my side:

1. Still attending college. This establishment consumes a lot of my resources like money, health, time, without giving me much back. Hopefully this will finish one day.

2. Playing Quake 3 Arena again. It\’s been few years since I played Q3A, but now I am back. I\’ve also brought some more people with me.

3. Trying CPMA mod for Q3A (instead of normal OSP I used to play). Looks cool, fast, tricky. The only thing is that it is too sharp (meaning the movements) and I don\’t like that much :( We\’ll see.

4. Waiting for Christmas. Wanna some rest

College days

I really, really hate these pre-college days when I need to do a bunch of arrangements and a lot of trips to Nicosia in order to fix the fees, registration and visa stuff in my college. That\’s all makes me feel exosted and I really, really hate it once again!

Rack installation

We are currently in the process of migrating old unbranded 42U cabling-only (not deep) rack to new HP (10K series) one which have to contain old patch panels (9 of them) and other cabling stuff as well as 5 1U HP ProLiant DL360 servers. Very routine task but I really like it.

All patched panels were already transferred (with a bit of reorganization). Additional wire managers were installed. New power pallet units were added (very nice ones from HP for better power system). New servers are also mounted and so on, just have to finish minor stuff and I will post some pics :)

Two things pissed me off: 1 – HP now supplies screws (the ones to mount stuff in the rack) which need alien key (thanks God I had old normal screws I used), 2 – HP had changed the normal side panels (one per side) to some tricky 3-part-per-side panels. I took us some time to figure out how to set those parts up and it turned out to be not-that-comfortable to work with em.

Transport Tycoon Delux data files

I see a lot of hits for the Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe post which I made quite a long time ago and where I have mentioned the download of the full pack of OpenTTD with original data files. This download is not available from that server anymore (for some time already as well), but since I (still) have data files, here is an archive of a full data folder from OpenTTD, just get what is missing from there for your setup.

Memory

Memory is a very strange thing. No, I am not talking about computer memory, but human one instead. Sometimes you do a lot of things without even thinking much of them and everything goes fine, but sometime one may ask you regarding one of those things or how you do this and that and it is just impossible to recall em. While trying to get the memories in order to answer the question you start calculating them from whatever you can remember and that drives you even in more confusion, but later, when couple of minutes passes and the topic of the talk becames absolute you start feeling so stupid because you just got the thing and it is so bloody simple that you just can\’t understand how come you messed it up :(
