Me got a pug.

Not a dog, but a server called Pug. It normally costs more than $700, but I was able to get a used one at roughly 85% off the sticker price through my former employer. Apparently when I left, they did not know how to use it so I offered to buy it at a discount. After a week of negotiation, I was able to get it at the price I wanted, and boy was it a discount. I also made sure I had them sign a purchase/sale agreement to document the transfer. ;)

This file server which has two hard drives configured for RAID 1 (mirrored) will be great as a backup server to my personal files as well as servers that I manage. It has roughly 100GB of free space and runs on Linux. It has 3 missing screws for its case which I hope to get in a week or two.

It’s mine, all mine! :D

  1. lol. did you do that to the tea pic on purpose or did it just happen to be perfect for me?

  2. It was actually meant for someone else, but thanks for mentioning that you hotlink to this site too! And yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands -- I will not deny it. ;)
