It has been said that "if you stand here long enough the entire city walks by."* And, let me add, stops to take photographs of this architectural masterpiece. From the allegorical carvings on the piers, to the arcade and the fountain, the terrace is full of architectural surprises. More to come.....

Sitting in my office with too much to do, of course I got fascinated by the grill patterns on my Mac Pro. Sometimes you need to zone out to become productive again.
MacPro was dead. The repair fee was said to be 150,000 yen by Apple japan. Nah I repair at 150,000 JPY, I’ll select iMac 5K. Because I don’t like black trash can. And I chose Skylake i7 6700K and 500 GB of SSD replace it. I don’t place data on the boot drive. Put it on an external HDD. And make a clone with C.C.C. on an external HDD not usually connected. The probability that a drive not connected to a machine, break risk is very low. I also have NAS. However, the data transfer rate is a donkey. Mac / PCs It is not important. It sells without limit in such a thing everywhere sides. The DATA. This is not sold anywhere. Lost, if it crashed, it is game over. You’ll hear 10 counts.
My One drive of Microsoft has 1 TB. My iCloud Is 50 GB, iCloud is too much Violently expensive.
Boot drive is enough 256GB something.
IFIXIT shipped double sided tape and several tools. I’m an old member here.
The old soldier has gone. R.I.P. MacPro…

Sin-Cheng (Vietnam) - A moins de 70 km de la frontière chinoise, la petite ville vietnamienne de Sin Cheng accueille une fois par semaine un grand marché. De nombreuses ethnies montagnardes se retrouvent ici pour vendre leurs produits agricoles ou artisanaux, échanger les nouvelles, manger ensemble et boire un coup. Peu de touristes dans ce secteur reculé. Peu, ne veut pas dire absence de touristes. En trois heures j’en ai croisé une petite demi-douzaine, des individuels ou des couples souvent accompagnés d’un guide.
Rien à voir, mais j’ai eu des problèmes avec le cordon d’alimentation de mon ordinateur, permettant la charge de la batterie. Impossible de transférer mes photos pour les sauvegarder. Depuis 2011 que je trimballe ce MacPro, à travers le monde, le cordon -souvent malmené-, s’est coupé. J’ai trouvé à Hué un bricoleur de génie qui m’a fait une réparation de secours. Manque de chanc au bout d’une semaine, la soudure n’a pas tenue. Aujourd’hui, j’ai trouvé un électricien qui disposait une fer à souder. Il a refait une qui semble tenir pour l’instant.
Sin-Cheng (Vietnam) - Less than 70 km from the Chinese border, the small Vietnamese town of Sin Cheng hosts a large market once a week. Many mountain ethnic groups gather here to sell their agricultural or artisanal products, exchange news, eat together, and have a drink. Few tourists in this remote area. Few doesn't mean no tourists. In three hours, I encountered about half a dozen, individuals or couples, often accompanied by a guide.
Nothing to do with it, but I had problems with my computer's power cord allowing the battery to charge. I couldn't transfer my photos for backup. Since 2011, when I've been lugging this MacPro around the world, the cord—often mistreated—has broken. I found a genius handyman in Hue who gave me a quick repair. Unfortunately, after a week, the solder joint broke. Today I found an electrician who had a soldering iron. He made one again which seems to hold for the moment.
Otter (Lutra lutra) along the River Stour, Dorset England
On our 4th attempt, the Otters along the River Stour finally showed for us. Most are of the Mum (Sow) and her two pups. Only once did the Dog Otter make a brief appearance and had a little encounter with his Sow.

للطريق اللي دعاني بعد امان الله وامانه
لاتنادني وصوني قلبك الله لايهينه
لا يراهن في رجوعي لجل مايخسر رهانة
ليه ماارحل عن غرامك بعد ماذقت الغبينة
اذكري لي شيءواحد يستحق اقعد عشانه
قلب ماحن الوصالي ماني بحاجه حنينه

HD DVD H.264 6.75Mbps compression testing. Test completed in 0:04:13 on DVCPRO HD 720p/24 clip of duration 0:01:27.
I'm hitting the rack.. can't believe I stayed up until 04:21 running these test. :-)
It sure is a beautiful thing to see 16 cores chugging away at RED footage.
Update: Just did the same transcode on 2007 Mac Pro 8 core 3GHz with 16GB RAM and RAID 5 array with 4 drives. The Nehalem did the job in 2 minutes 15 seconds. The Mac Pro 3GHz in 3 minutes 55 seconds. The transcode was RED footage (4096x2304 Res) to Apple ProRes 422 (1920x1080 Res) in Compressor utilizing Qmaster Cluster. This is an amazing trouncing. The Nehalem only has 6GB and no RAID.
Hyper threading is bad ass. If you are into video or anything that could benefit from multiple thread processing... this is well worth the upgrade.
Octopussy doing what it does best. HD MPEG-2 19.0Mbps render testing... pretty much maxes out each core on this type of render. Clip being rendered is 720p/24 duration of 00:02:57:03... completed in 0:01:27. Half of clip real time is not bad. Processors usually at full 100% on this type of render.. break in power due to screen capture.

At long last my dear old IMac gave up the ghost but not before causing me much data and hair loss. It has been replaced by something far shinier and attractive. My new Mac Pr!. It won't be long before my dear wife starts to muse about trading me in too...

Soon will have RAID 5 with 4 750GB Seagate 7200 RPM hard drives. May upgrade to SAS drives for faster speeds soon. RAID card battery is charging now... should take a long time to trickle charge.
Now I'm wondering if 32GB of memory can fit into this beast.
Much later:
Holy shit.. this can support 32GB www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/32GB_RAM_Mac_Pro.html
I think I just wet myself.
