I just started using su.pr to shorten long urls and it has the ability to do some very cool stuff if you link it into your wordpress site. I prefer it over tunyurl and others. Check it out!

I highly recommend reading the blogs, “The Not-To-Do List: 9 Habits to Stop Now” and “How to Check E-mail Twice a Day… or Once Every 10 Days”, by Tim Ferris. Great recommendations for all of us who don’t seem to ever have enough time for anything these days.

Tesla’s birthday is today! Here’s a cool video of the person who invented modern electricity and the death ray….

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!

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.

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!

I recently started using Google Analytics to track my web site usage and so far it’s been great. By creating a account, and installing the wordpress plugin “Google Analyticator” I now get detail on how my site is being viewed. Great stuff - try it out!

When moving wordpress sites from one domain to another, it’s common to have hard coded urls in the database of the old web site. To update the majority of the posts, you can use the following sql statement to update the post urls. You may also need to run the statement on the guid foild as well. UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, ‘staging.server.com’, ‘www.productionserver.com’);
