summer's here

it was actually above 50 yesterday, so i figured we should kick off summer with a trip to the barking crab. phil or i had the great idead to split an order of king crab legs as a side and order something else as the main meal. i will not be the last to tell you how great this idea was, but it definitely was great. not only was i not hungry when i left, but it wasn't nearly as expensive as it usually is.

i was planning on putting a couple spare 2.5" drives in the shuttle (since i think they are cooler). i didn't have mdadm on that box, so i started up rcd and...

after a minute or so it shut off, with the overheat led on.

so i did a little research on the internet and people said not to use the copper shim, and not to use much heat goo, and to underclock the bus to 132MHz, and some other things. so we'll see.

i took some pictures of the laptop drives in the shuttle, since it's really cute (they didn't have mounting brackets, so i have them side-by-side in a 5.25" bay). but i can't find my camera's usb cable so i'll have to wait.
