| gabe jeffrey, berber, chuck low, industrial, squishy, robert smith, lebanon, iraqi, lyrics, lamont, | So, as I may have mentioned before, The Pit has a nice fat IBM RS/6000 7026-6H1 unit... 6 CPU, 2GB RAM... not too huge (I mean, I've had co-workers who were able to say they worked on a Cray with serial number "1"), but nothing to sneeze at. We decided to upgrade it from 2GB of RAM to 4GB of RAM. We call our VAR, we order up some refurb unfogged memory (because it's about $4K less than unfogged new, give or take), and unfogged it shows up. We schedule a down-time window, we call up IBM service, tell them "Hey, we bought some memory and want you to come out and install it in our box!", they ask "do you have an MES number?" I say "Nope, never heard of it." A slight pause, then "OK, no big deal, blah blah blah..." Fast-forward to Wednesday night. I drive 1.5 hours to Secaucus (brought George along for company on the road, what the hell?) and wait patiently for IBM. |

| no driving necessary Wednesday: Thirteen hours, driving to GenCon in Indy. Way not cool. Posted by Dredd at 09:29 AM | Permalink July 19, 2003 Yahoo!Maps Directions - Never Again berber Anyone who's ever used Yahoo!Maps knows how flaky they are, giving directions like: Turn left on unnamed road for 0.0 miles. Tonight they hit their limit with me. I was driving up to Vermont to visit with berber some friends, and Yahoo!Maps sent me up US-7. Which makes perfect sense -- if you don't know about the plethora of ferries that cross Lake Champlain and berber attach on their western shore to the freakin Interstate. So, I ended up driving all over creation at 30-45mph through small towns when, if Yahoo knew how to use ferries, could have been MUCH easier. If only there was a good TripMaker program for the Mac...
