Drobo rebuild complete. Yay. Moved the 2x2TB drives into the RAID1 backup for the iMac, so now creating a full clone, instead of leaving stuff out. And now I've got 4x1TB just sitting around. Thinking of getting an OWC Mercury Elite Pro 4-Bay RAID enclosure to use them. Then I'd actually have a backup for the stuff on the Drobo. Maybe next month. Was also tempted to move all the machines to SSDs, but again, maybe not for a couple of months. OWC finally released their USB enclosure for MacBook Air SSDs, so that's tempting. And since the SuperDrive doesn't work in the iMac was going to replace it with an SSD, which actually might provide the most boost, since that gets used the most probably. So maybe. Not sure. Wait and see. Seems like everyone in the family is back to health, although Lucy sneezed on the way to school the other day and I had to wipe away a lot of snot that came out of her nose. Bike commuting's been rough this week, heavy headwinds on the way in, nice tailwinds on the way out, and super hot. I actually had to head back in to work after coming home last night to replace a drive on a server. I thought it'd be easier without my bags, and it was, but the 2nd trip home of the day my legs started feeling it. Also, I cancelled my haircut from back in May, and I'm looking pretty shaggy right now. Been waiting for a good weekend to get it done, and Saturday finally looks like it's gonna happen. I can tuck my hair behind my ears, it's that long and annoying. Was almost tempted to buzz cut it at home, and Tracy toyed with the idea of giving me a trim.
