Mac OSX Experiences – The Pictures

October 1, 2010 by Stefan Didak 8 Comments
Stefan Didak Home Office Version 6

When using the Mac along with the other systems I just pull it forward a little so it’s in easier reach. The little rolling desk was a recent addition because there just wasn’t any way I could fit a big 27″ screen into the current setup and doing an overhaul was not part of the plans I had, certainly not in the current space and certainly not in its current location. The next overhaul will be huge and will be “elsewhere”. Insiders will know what I’m talking about. Anyone else, you can just keep guessing what I mean by that.

Mac OSX Experiences From The Dark Side

September 9, 2010 by Stefan Didak 3 Comments
Stefan Didak Home Office Version 6

Yes, it’s true. Get over it already. I bought an Apple Macintosh. A 27 inch 2.93Ghz Quad Core i7 with 8GB RAM, 1TB HD, and HD5750-1GB. I understand this has caused several people to exhibit signs of severe confusion because I’m really mostly known as a “Windows Guy” (more appropriately, a .NET guy). For a little while I’ll refrain from posting any pictures, though. Wouldn’t want people to die from either laughter or heart-attacks.

Mitch Haile and Stefan Didak in one frame

Mitch Haile and Stefan Didak

Let’s put an end to the strange tabloid style rumors on the internet that have implied that Mitch Haile and yours truly are mortal enemies engaged in a complete and all-out home office war. I don’t know who first came up with that nonsense but before it gets out of hand it’s good to pull the plug on that fake gossip story. We met up for drinks the other day at BJ’s across from the Apple HQ in Cupertino. And no, nobody needs to worry about that. Non-Apple users are welcome in Cupertino and there aren’t hordes of fans that scope out unsuspecting PC users. You can blame Sallie Goetsch, practicing with her new Nikon, for the picture.

Review: Advance VX7670 / Sager NP9280 (Clevo D900F) Super Laptop

January 31, 2010 by Stefan Didak Leave a Comment
Clevo D900F

The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of all these models is Clevo, a company with a long history in creating some of the most powerful and amazing laptops you’ll ever see. They come with a somewhat high pricetag (almost 4200 Euros / US$5900 for the above configuration) and considerable weight and bulk but you certainly get a laptop that can compete with many a desktop and workstation. Especially considering that these laptop use the Intel i7 desktop processors and will support up to 3 harddisks (or SSD’s) and up to 12GB of RAM!

Looking for ultra high resolution wallpapers?

Panedia Wallpapers

Anyone using dual or multi-monitors knows it isn’t always easy to find nice high resolution background. Often we need to resort to creating our own or altering one we’ve found but isn’t quite ‘it’. The more monitors you add, the higher the resolution of your desktop becomes, the harder it is to find really high res backgrounds that will run seamlessly across your array of screens. If you have found yourself in the same situation then be sure to check out Panedia!

Bye Bye Dreamhost, Hello Media Temple

Web Statistics

Not a moment too soon! About 3 hours after most of the DNS servers started pointing to the new location a new wave of visitors came along to check out the Home Office Setup. I’ve been monitoring the server for the past 3 hours to see how it holds up. And it holds up just fine! Much better than Dreamhost, where with traffic like this it would render the site almost unreachable, would time out, or would simply crash. The first 3 log parts (per hour) from the server are 21MB, 26MB, and 27MB respectively. A closer look at the performance over the past 3 hours show close to 8000 visitors/sessions and 300.000 hits. And all throughout this the server remained very responsive and behaving perfectly.

Stefan Didak’s New Office Pictures are now online!

October 26, 2008 by Stefan Didak 11 Comments
Stefan Didak's New Home Office, version 6

Finally, after several delays and minor setbacks, the new Home Office pictures are online for all to see. It’s been quite an overhaul that lasted longer than I expected and took more effort than I had hoped for, but the results are, as I suspect most will agree with, quite an improvement! Of course, there are many who recently still commented that my office is an amazing setup, but that is now the old office. The new one would then be, what, amazing to the 2nd power? It’d better because it took me 10 days to perform this overhaul and that’s not counting the weeks of waiting for equipment to arrive and new systems that had to be built by my dealer, etc. I could go into lengthy details about the delays and how there’s a huge critical difference between the Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB GLFS and HLFS harddisks but I doubt anyone is really interested in hearing about that. Hey wait, hold on, you’re already hitting the new office page before I’m done writing this. That’s not fair.

Home Office Overhaul Nearing Completion

October 10, 2008 by Stefan Didak 4 Comments
New Home Office Nearing Completion

Yes, it’s almost done! I’m still waiting for new computer equipment to arrive at my dealer and decided to wait until the new office setup reflects the actual working conditions before I start shooting proper pictures and updating the site. In the meantime, here are a few shots of the new layout with the new extreme multi-monitor configuration. And before you say it… yes, it still looks like a mess.

Home Office Overhaul In Progress

October 5, 2008 by Stefan Didak 6 Comments
New Home Office In Progress

The Home Office Overhaul (going from version 5 to version 6, as I call it) is in full swing. Except it will take a while longer before I can properly update the website to reflect the new working conditions. I’ve been at this for a few days now and it seems there’s a few more days of work ahead of me because everything just sucks up time like crazy. The first two days were spent clearing everything out and moving the most essential services running on servers from the living room. Then another day to give everything a paint job. The past two days have been cable hell.

Office overhaul slightly delayed

September 27, 2008 by Stefan Didak Leave a Comment
New Monitors for the Home Office

My dealer doesn’t have all the new equipment ready yet but did get me the imporant stuff I need to start, namely the new monitors. However, the various three and five meter DVI cables that were sent to them were white instead of black so we’re waiting for the arrival of the correct black cables. Without the cables there’s not much point in clearing out the office. The RAID backplanes have also not arrived yet but adding new workstations is not a requirement for starting this overhaul so that can wait. The cables are definitely more important.
