数 据 嘉 年 华
I read this entry over on David Wolf’s blog before my recent trip back down under about power usage and IT infrastructure. Silicon Hutong And the topic did strike a “Hey this is real man!!!” kind of chord with me. A cathartic resonance that shall never come from me with respect to the greater greenhouse [...]
This is a new initiative from Google in China. They contacted our LUG to see if there was any interest. To quote from El Presidente Fred: “I am reaching out for people with skills and/or interest in system or network administration. Google is starting a community around this theme and we were asked for the [...]
For part one, go here: http://www.utilitycomputing.com.cn/?p=41 I hate to bitch. And I hate to appear as if I am drumming up business or trying to screw other businesses. I am just trying to call it as I see it as a public service. We get maybe 3-4 clients a week transfer to us from a [...]
Well, the thing is, in China, you have to have a licence to have a website, called an ICP. It costs money if you are commercial, even more money if an e-commerce site, as well as a bank deposit with a certain amount of registered capital. For non commercial entities it is free and no [...]
How long does a server last? Both in book value and real in world production? What about general technology and computers? What about cars? Or buildings? I lived in an over 100 year old house in Sydney in Balmain that is no less modern than anything else anywhere….and while I also use a laptop that [...]
OK – that time of the year again. CCPC meeting time, get ready for internet “issues”. Seems to have been some already today…. had one major CNC outage to one of CANDIS’ data centres and it knocked out some services. Various parties claimed it was a DDOS attack – however that is the 10th one [...]

The number of well understood ICANN recommendations that aren’t adhered to is as numerous as the cries for blood following the loss of Australia to Italy in the world cup quarter finals. In any case the Ministry of Science and Technology has [...]
It is nice to see that I am not too “out there” in my thoughts. http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/business/0,39044229,62030996,00.htm Difference is, they are still paying too much $$$$ to over paid western IT staff that really don’t do any serious Computer Science or R+D. That’s where China comes in! Global economy people, get with it, or get left [...]
Has anybody else out there had issues with finding good people in China? My problem is not the vast swath of never ending bodies lining up for a job, or even the various diluted names for degrees these days, “Bachelor of Internet Marketing”, “Bachelor of E Business Sanitation” – a problem not limited to China.

I was just talking to a client and I had to explain to him that, “You already have the RAID card in your motherboard, but you can’t use it until you buy an activation key from Dell”. This confused him. “If I have it, why do I have to pay for it?”. Well without getting [...]
