System update
09:00 AM on Saturday 04 May 2019
One of the hard drives on the server is dead so it was replaced with a new 12TB drive. The restarts showed that there were issues with the system drive which is a Crucial M500 960GB SSD. After a couple of fsck repairing the filesystem, there was a missing file which I had to get from one of the LXD ...
The first 6TB to go
09:16 AM on Wednesday 01 May 2019
The first of the 8 6TB drives is dead. And the first one to go is the only Hitachi which is rather disappointing as I thought that that is the most reliable one. On well, you never know. So the new drive is a 12TB one since that would probably be the next bump in capacity when the rest of the drives ...
MacBook Air
09:05 AM on Monday 29 April 2019
After more than two months with the MacBook Air, I am glad I got the MacBook Air. The performance is definitely adequate. For the kind of work that I do on the run, it is more than enough. When I need more, I have several desk bound machines to work with as well as remote servers. The part of being ...

I always find the product displays at Muji to be beautiful. Look at the arrangement of pens.

Saw this promotion at Food Republic at Vivo City for a tower of iced milo which is probably every child’s dream.
Bear
08:42 AM on Tuesday 23 April 2019
We were at Jurong Point over the weekend and Esther had a go at the claw machines where she won a bear. It was quite cute and she was really proud of herself. We stuck it to the glass panel in the kitchen where it looked quite good.

We had lunch at Chachako at Jurong Point. The food was not too bad.
Coolant leak
01:00 PM on Saturday 20 April 2019
While driving after Esther’s tuition to Suntec City, the car started throwing out temperature warnings. We reached Suntec City but the low coolant warning was on. We had lunch and shopped around. Before we left, we got 800ml of coolant and 1.5l of distilled water. We filled up the coolant tank but i ...
eGPU
09:00 PM on Tuesday 16 April 2019
The PC which I passed to Esther with the i5-3570K is kind of dead. There is probably some problems with the main board causing issues in Windows. Tried a fresh install and that did not helped so it is probably hardware. It is 7 year old hardware. Since she has the Thinkpad X1 Yoga and the NVIDIA GTX ...
