Updates
Ok, this is just a generic post for me here since I’ve been slacking off so much lately and not posting to my blog. Truthfully, I’ve been gaming a little bit lately at night on the Cloudbook and haven’t spent time on the computer doing much else. Been playing Thief 2 a lot lately. I figure I’m just going to go through the entire game, and then play Deus Ex again since both of these games run really well on the Cloudbook. Thief 2 actually runs very well on an external monitor in full 1280×1024 mode. I’m somewhat surprised too, I didn’t think the Cloudbook could push that on a game. But, I guess in reality Theif 2 isn’t exactly a high polygon-count game. Character models are pretty bad by today’s standards and textures aren’t much better. Lighting in the game is good, but that’s what the game really is based on. Light and dark.
Otherwise, I’ve been somewhat adjusting to my new role at Quicken Loans. I was moved to a newly created team, and no longer am a Windows systems engineer. We basically support three main areas now: Server monitoring, Altiris, and VMware virtualization. We like to refer to this as “core infrastructure” pieces of the systems team. I like to look at it mostly as a VMware or virtualization team, with the other two areas thrown in as a bonus. I do have a VCP certification, so I suppose I could just consider myself a VMware systems engineer that also supports Altiris and Microsoft SCOM (and potentially Groundworks maybe in the future).
What else is going on lately…hmm… my son just got a Little Tikes Hummer H2 electric motorized vehicle for his birthday over the weekend. I’m already scoping out how I can modify it. First things I’ll probably end up doing is giving it some headlights and a horn. Probably will do more later too.
That’s all for now…
