30th September: Hard disk in it's birthday suit
Spent ages trying to get an interesting shot and processing of this defunct hard disk, not worked as well as I'd hoped, but still it's a photo ;-)
USB flash disk miniaturních rozměrů s vysouvacím mini USB konektorem. Vhodný k laseru i tisku reklamního loga. Díky nízké hmotnosti a malým rozměrům je ideálním přívěškem na klíče, Vaši klienti jej tak mohou mít vždy u sebe.
I bought two 2TB disks on "Black Friday," taking my total to 10.5 terabytes in operation. They're all* paired for backups, so it's really only 5TB of storage. Formatted, of course, it's even less. Here're some real numbers:
Filesystem Size Mounted on
/dev/disk2s2 465Gi /Volumes/Butch
/dev/disk5s2 931Gi /Volumes/Raphael
/dev/disk3s2 931Gi /Volumes/VanGogh
/dev/disk7s2 931Gi /Volumes/Mars
/dev/disk8s2 931Gi /Volumes/Pluto
/dev/disk9s2 931Gi /Volumes/Terra
/dev/disk10s2 931Gi /Volumes/Jupiter
/dev/disk6s2 1.8Ti /Volumes/Marvin
/dev/disk4s2 1.8Ti /Volumes/Hal9000
931GB isn't quite 1TB, but I round up.
* All are paired except the 500GB "Butch", which is itself a backup drive for two networked laptops and a 500GB external drive connected to one of those laptops, not pictured here.
Second shipment - rusty, scored, greasy rotors, not described. The closer pair were cleaned up using spray brake parts cleaner and a rag. The left one of the upper pair, first shipment, show evidence of a half-hour's work with brake parts cleaning fluid and a Scotch scrubber pad.
They strung me along with empty promises until the dispute period expired, then ignored my pleas. More fool me, but that makes them thieves, doesn't it?
(Someone asked for an update: It's been two years or more. The point was: Even such high-volume and highly-regarded sellers can be rats from time to time. If they have something you want, at a price you like, it will probably be a problem-free transaction, but don't be surprised if there is something wrong, and do your objection and claims routines early. Don't let them run out the dispute period, as I did.
Matter of fact, I have something coming from them tomorrow (03 June 2009). We'll see how it develops ...)
(A week later: This one was perfect: excellent price, careful packing, timely delivery of an item that is exactly as advertised. I guess every one is a gamble; win a couple, lose a couple.)
Here is the inner workings of the famicom disk system. The diskdrive with the rubberbelt that likes to snap, the game data extractor ( who looks sucpiciously like mario ), the processing unit ( center right in the picture ), and an RGB port under the battery compartment ( top centre ). We also find a recycling system that turns broken workers into fuel, a charging station, the "Angry gamer's gravity generator" ( good to have when the console suddenly gets airbourne ), and backup workers. And a nuclear backup powerplant with a cooling system that involves a jumping Luigi, a barrel throwing Donkey Kong, an ice spitting Freeon Leeon, and a submerged Gil who's in charge of the circulation of the coolant. The powerplant also supplies the workers with a healthy cloud of radiation. The radiation also make the workers react with the games' contents. So familiar mutations will occour. In a such a situation you will also get new characters. And a few well known Nintendo characters ( like Funky Kong ) was inspired by mutations like this.
If anybody wants to know, the dimensions are: 120x180cm.

Verse
"Remember your Creator in the days of your youth."
(Ecclesiastes 12:1)
Explanation
The disk only has energy to spin for a small amount of time.
Remember to follow God and use your time wisely while you have energy.

This is where I found all the photos from 10 years ago. A couple of these disks actually have my older website designs and content from christiangrantham.com

Got a new computer today and backed up the old one before the migration. Fun thing to do on a rainy day :)

Preparing for a move I took time to discard a lot of old things we don't use anymore. 3.5 inch floppy disks were part of the lot. I just saved these. Maybe to be able to tell my grand-children that I was there! ;-)
A front Brake Disc with heat spots and run out that causes noises, brake pedal and steering wheel shudder during braking.
Not for long though. Out comes the PFM900 On Car Brake Lathe
The first production model, only approx. 50 have been sold, but the quality was very low and most of the cars have been buyed back by the factory. The construction was very progressive, but the production too hasty and mayn flaws have emerged soon. The workers had a popular saying: "DISK nám sežral zisk" (DISK ate away our profit).
