Comment Well (Score 1) 669

I just got a new iMac with maxed out configuration and 4GB video memory. So I can run everything at 2560x1440 with all graphics at full/ultra. A great computer although I think that the Fusion drive could benefit from PCIE SSD larger than 120GB when the SATA is 3TB.

- Civ 5, which is good fun but I rarely has the time.
- I liked the original Bioshock so I am playing Bioshock Infinite. It is ok.
- The new Tomb Raider but I kinda hate it since it seems to spend more time with story telling than actual gameplay.

I am hoping for a new Fallout game soon but I don't think it will be released for OS X and I am not going to buy and install Windows for just one game, although it is my all time favorite game.

Comment I quit my job (Score 1) 236

We had complex installations of Linux servers that were so old that patching them often required a lot of work to be able to compile the fixes.
After a steady flow of layoffs and cut downs, I was no longer able to keep up with even just the maintenance tasks and the list of critical things that needed fixes grew longer. And forget about trying to find time to do proactive things like planning new systems or capacity planning, since I now had to do everything myself.
So I had informed my bosses of the problems, even had it in writing although I hate that CMA crap. But I ended up quitting because even though a hacked web server would not be my fault, I just could not sleep well at night.

Of course then there also was the problem with the rest of the company growing tired of the lack of progress and quality of the IT department. They quickly forgot that the staff had been reduced to half and still expected the same service they got earlier on even though the official word was that everyone would be understanding that we didn't have time to do as much as we used to.

They offered me a raise if I stayed but it was really not about the money but about my health.

Norway (and Denmark iirc) have plans on laying down more (sea) cables to Germany so I guess this link in reality would connect southern Germany to Norway.
The countries are already trading energy and I would guess they would need this as a mini super grid to make a larger percentage of the energy renewable.

Bonus nerd info. Heres a link to a almost live view of the input and output of electricity and natural gas from Denmark: http://www.energinet.dk/Flash/...
