The Codrico building

I’m definitely not, but it’s going to be extremely funny if they have warehouses of GPU’s that can’t be used, because the lead time for a new high voltage transformer is three years.

I’m also wondering who is going to build the power stations. 26GW is more power than several countries can generate, and building a new power station plus related infrastructure takes longer than a datacenter.

This is Madelief, a cat that really prefers to hang out at the train station to relax and get pet by loads of people. And it’s always nice to see her when I have to be at the station

I know just enough about the period to be interested, and would like to learn more about it. It does sound like a lot of extra research work on top of all the other things though.

If spending less time here means spending more energy hanging out with friends, or doing creative endeavors? Go for it.

I’m getting flashbacks to the time I tried to get into an Alcatel switch. (It has a different pinout on the console port and doesn’t work with a Cisco console cable. It has to be special)

I remember having that feeling, but it turned out to be the inflection point where I started to get a better grip on things and the years got better

I got very lucky and got some classics during that era. But I dread having to replace them at current prices if something goes wrong.

Interestingly enough the digital cameras I couldn't afford then have become somewhat reasonable in price. I got a 5Dmkii for €300 last year.

Damn, that's a big camera. I'm looking forward to see what photos you're going to make with it
