Welcome

This is my personal & professional blog.  It's a place for me to think out loud and learn. I'll sometimes talk about things I don't understand as a way to begin to understand them. I'll often be wrong, short sighted, and unclear. When you see this happening, please point it out!

Cafe Tasia is a great place to Eat

Cafe Tasia rocks my world.  It's one of my favorite places to eat in the East Village.  It's cheap, it's thai (my favorite type of food), it's authentic (well at least it makes my taste buds dance in a way that seems foreign to me), it's dimly lit and just a little bit romantic, and, for occasions when you're in the zone or without an umbrella on a rainy day, it delivers.  Perfect 4th date place.

My favorite?  Minced Chicken with Thai Basil.

Of course, Yakitori Taisho is pretty good as well.

I never thought I'd blog about a restaurant...but in this case, I couldn't resist!

It's well known that the total cost of ownership of corporate servers is in managing the servers and not the hardware/software. Why? What specifically are all these people managing the software doing? I manage a call center software on a windows 2003 box, which is running on an Oracle backend installed on a Solaris platform. The problem isn't managing the windows server itself, that is pretty stable. It is managing the crap code that these software developers write then they convince corporations that their product is sound, until you install it. Then you have day after day of continual maintenance, manaing services, IIS, database inconsistencies etc. It turns into a full time job for several people but usually only one is employed.

Where do computers go when they die? I saw an interested show on discovery HD about recycling computers. Usually all computer's have a lifecycle of 3-5 years, after that period of time we do what we call "Hazmat" we take all the hold equipment and put it in crates and its hauled off by a company that recycles it, its actually required by EPA. At the recycling company all the precious metals are removed from the material and recycled into raw material. I've also recently heard about chinese buying up a lot of old computers. =)

Anyway, I saw these questions when I was reading your blog site obviously but it wasn't my intention when coming here. I have a business idea and wanted to tell you about it, I recently read an article about you on CNN and think it would fit with your line of work. Drop me a line at the email I left. -Abe
