Someone at work used to (and still might), post a digest of sorts of her weekend. This is mine:
This weekend I was oncall, rode 15 miles on my bike, pulled weeds in my backyard, tested out a Seagate 3TB drive, procured a hoe and rake from Home Depot, vacuumed, swept and swiffered my kitchen floor, went to Church, read more in Atlas Shrugged, and ate some barbecue.
They have BBQ in CA? What’s that like?
How’s the 3TB drive, any issues?
Glad to hear you found a church out there.
I go to Armadillo Willys, who call themselves “Real Texas BBQ”. It’s honestly not too bad and an acceptable substitute. :) They do serve Shiner, but they serve Blue Bunny instead of Blue Bell, so that’s sort of a wash.
Primarily I was testing out the 3TB to see what the reported sector size was. So basically I confirmed that it’s reporting 512, which isn’t ideal against its 4k sectors. I should write up a more detailed post on what I’m thinking, plus run some benchmarks…
