WWII weekend at Tyntesfield House, Somerset, England.
Hard contrasty light, so took a trigrip reflector, used the gold-side to bounce some light back into the wagon, 'serving lady' and 'pitcher':D
Back to my work though... I had the craziest and busiest week ever since I started at Microsoft nearly five years ago. We have a major project going on in my building that I am helping on. Plus we had a big event and a super important system go down in the same week. I worked almost 60 hours. It was insane and I hope to never repeat it. But here's a picture of me putting a special PCI Express card in a server. This is how I usually roll when I know that I'm going to have to work in there for a long period of time.
Turned an Old mac into a Linux server, did this Sean fella at work. Needed to run a few internal apps and figured instead of buying a new one we might as well just use something lying around the office. Smart fella, that Sean guy. Since the thing had a good chance of being thrown out with the trash, I figured it was a good idea to make sure people knew what it was.
Part of the MCLI server tour, meet Graphite, a 600 MhZ Pentium III running Fedora. This server runs the weblogs, wikis, and discussion boards that the are "small peces" supporting our Ocotillo projects.
Note the old Mac style big bubble monitor.
My servers. Nothing special, but I'm proud anyhow :P
The Gateway box is my firewall running Smoothwall.
The Dell box is my webserver running Debian 4.0 "Etch"
I got a CMA (Cable Management Arm) with my server too, but unfortunately it didn't fit in my rack, I was so disappointed, and just look at that mess.
Update November, 15, 2011
Installed new Dell R510 server, labeled all the cables in the rack, added new KVM, and changed OS on LEVIATHAN.
R510 Specs:
Name: CynoGriffon
2 x Intel Xeon E5620 @ 2.4 GHz
24 GB of RAM
8 x 2TB Seagate HDDs totalling 16TB (10TB Usable with RAID-Z 2)

The R510 is a beautiful server, by far my favorite.
