If you go to http://dsstos.blogspot.com/ there’s an excellent presentation on data storage concepts and recommendations. It’s HDS AMS focused, but the majority of the presentation relates to general data storage. Great stuff!

Cleanup the Open with… menu in OS X
For OS X Leopard this worked for me. Cut and paste this command into terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.f*/Frameworks/LaunchS*/Support/lsregister \ -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

This is my next dream car. I saw one of these beauties in Ft. Lauderdale and it was so sexy. 100% Electric, quick charging, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds… Awesome.
My datacenter is all blowed up…
This is a marketing video from HP simulating a datacenter disaster causing a fail over to a backup datacenter. People often ask me what I do for a living and for most of the time the answer I usually give doesn’t help. If the conversation continues with printer driver questions in Vista I know I failed to describe what I do.
So in short, I help companies with the design, build, and implementation of large storage arrays that are designed to minimize application downtime due to hardware failures. These same storage arrays also have extended capabilities and features that help customers create enire copies of their datacenters in case thier primary datacenter gets “blowed up”. In this video, I would be one of the goofy white coat guys. Enjoy!
