Project Euler
Well now, so I think I haz teh codez?
We'll see. Project Euler here I come.
[10012011] Problems 1 and 2 done. 364 to go :/
Speakers busted
Must have been all those watts spent during last year's New Year celebrations, paper dust seal ripped. Would cost me 2 weeks to get those itty 80W speakers fixed. Got a 250W amplituner now, so figured I'd build in something with a bit more oomph. Found it in the form of two 50 EUR 300W Peiying bass speakers. Actually meant to build into a car hifi system (4 Ohms and all that) but work just fine.
Best joke ever
A moth flies into a podiatrist's office and settles on a chair.
Podiatrist: What’s the problem?
Moth: What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Linovich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Linovich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But, I don’t know. I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there…
Podiatrist: Oh yeah?
Moth: Yes. At night I sometimes wake up, and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm; a lady I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to.
Moth: Docc, my youngest, Alexandria; she fell in the cold of last year. The cold took her down as it did many of us.
Moth: Doc, my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc, my other boy, Gregaro Ivinolitanovitch; I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes all I see is the same cowardice that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only the cowardice was stronger, then perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all. Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging onto my web of everlasting fire underneath me. Doc, I’m not feeling good.
Podiatrist: man, you’re in trouble. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here? I'm a podiatrist!
Moth: because the light was on.
Get rid of pesky PowerCLI VI prompts
Especially in batch scripts, probably within the context of a scheduled task, prompts are the last thing I'm waiting for. Specifically the "Are you sure?" prompts like "Perform operation?".
The trick is in the use of the $false constant in combination with -Confirm.
Examples:
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -DefaultVIServerMode multiple -Confirm:$false
Disconnect-VIServer -Server * -Force -Confirm:$false
Vette clip
Laptop busted
Total wreck. Harddisk corrupted, GPU busted due to excessive heat buildup. I'm NEVER buying another Pavillion.
Finished uCMDB DDMa ESX 4i Layer2 discovery
Needed Powershell for this to happen though.
Wait now for HP to put their own solution into the box.
FB Platinum
Did it almost all by myself. Had a little push in the back from AMEX Gold (4 gratis qualifying flights), however was counting on end of december. Managed it 2 weeks early. AMEX Platinum gives 8 even. But that one costs an arm and a leg.
Dutch deals websites
Got laughed at today for not knowing about these deals websites.
I'm so out of touch with the functional side of the interweb.
