Birthday disasters

It’s May 26, it’s my birthday and as a birthday is a special day nothing can go wrong. Well … nope not really … but at first i want to thank you all for your kind greetings and congratulations. Nope …. at first i was in Cologne today, giving a tutorial about creating a fileserver with OpenSolaris. But that was by choice. I like to fly as you know . After being grounded for months due to no opportunity to fly this was really welcome. As i wrote before … if i get a job some day in the future flying around and doing presentations i would be a luck man. The day started with a nice “<insert a lot of suppressed curses>” in the aircraft as a was able to spill a cup of airline tea into my lap. Thank god it wasn’t my tea at home so it was hot but not hot enough for really significant burnings. Such a day starting that way can’t get a positive ending and it didn’t got one. I don’t know what happened to my demo installation but stuff i did a day before without problems threw interesting error messages, nothing went the way i want it and and the end i couldn’t even remember how to diskpart iscsi devices on windows … damned … i will create a written tutorial to give the attendees the information planed for this part. I hope my Deduplication talk on Friday will be much better … However i’m sitting in the Frequent Traveller Lounge now, waiting for my aircraft and i hope there will be no delays … i wouldn’t wonder about that …
