The Data Center Lady

Stéphane Lee — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:30:10 +0000

If you browse some Internet services websites regularly, you should recognise this lady. We call her the “datacenter lady” or the “Ensim lady.” This picture is in some royalty-free image banks. She is being used (and abused) on many websites.

TinEye lists about 37 websites using this picture but I personally know some more. She was previously on ensim.com.

Here is a good sample of the websites:

The best one, I think, is this. Being featured on the front cover of a MySQL database book is quite a feat.

Cabot Trail

The Cabot Trail on the Cape Breton Island is probably one of the Seven Wonders of Canada. Great time spent there!

Road Trip to Cabot Trail

We’ll be undertaking a 1500km road trip up to the Eastern tip of continental Canada. I hope the weather is great. I’ve been to PEI before. Cabot Trail should be much better. They say that it’s like Scotland. We’ll find out. The joy is in the journey.

Flip Video in Canada

Flip Video Ultra is now available at Walmart for $160. I’ve been unsuccessfully looking for this for some weeks now. I did not want to order from a US online shop due to major shipping headache (UPS?). Futureshop/Best Buy are also lame enough not to carry this product. Thanks to Walmart Canada you can now have the Flip Video (which is cheaper than the pink ones on Tigerdirect.ca).

Early flight

Do they expect me to wake up at 3 to catch a 6am flight? There is no flight with a more normal departure time for the minimum amount of points.

Router emulation with GNS3 and Dynamips

Stéphane Lee — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:14:12 +0000

GNS3 is a great front-end for Dynamips, a Cisco IOS emulator. Unlike other software, Dynamips runs on real IOS image. It’s the most real you can get apart from buying the hardware. It can run several instances and link them virtually. This is a great achievement in reverse engineering.

In my test, I fired up four routers and linked them up with FastEthernet. I then configured OSPF on them and was able to see that the routes are being distributed on all routers.
