    10 Year Anniversary for StorageForum

    If memory serves, like mubs, I saw a cryptic post from Tony on SR referring to "the other place". Early congrats SF!

    I do not think that phrase means what you think it means. The mixed metaphor is even funnier if you know what a swan actually sounds like. :) Siren song perhaps?

    Not only that but once you create the A record and complete the verify you get your permanent urls and can configure nice short urls for redirect.

    Migrating to Gmail

    I once had a situation where the external IP address at the client changed without coordinating with us and of course mail stopped. Once I was granted authority to make changes to the DNS server, which included sending them a fax on client company stationary, I jumped into the DNS server only...

    Migrating to Gmail

    You have to add an A record but you don't have to change the MX record until you need to. Also, for a reason I can't remember I did the trial of Apps Business to get access to a tool that eased transition and then cancelled it after the transition.

    Migrating to Gmail

    That is exactly what led me to set up a gmail account 2-3 years ago. I have since stopped regularly using a mail client other than Gmail for personal mail.

    Migrating to Gmail

    I'm in hurry so: Gmail can act as a pop or imap client and pull in still arriving email. IIRC, what I didn't like about it was that ALL messages then had the date that gmail grabbed them. IIRC, what I did was have the mail client pull down the messages and remove them from the server never to...

    Cool Fan Idea

    It is difficult to understand how they the heat efficiently off of the base plate. Additionally it looks like there will either be a dead-air spot at the center of the fan or the deadwood will be so small so as to restrict airflow.

    Cool Fan Idea

    The boundary layer in fluid dynamics is by definition close to the physical object and has very low velocity compared to the fluid farther away. I'll read the article later and I may have something to add to the understanding of it.

    USB 3.0 drives

    Incedentally, I see that Seagate has 2.5" USB 3.0 7200RPM products out such as the GoFlex series but it is difficult to find a performance review.

    USB 3.0 drives

    Thanks for the report. My laptop has an eSatap port. It was an afterthought for eSata I think but it is available. Otherwise the 2.5" eSata drive cases I was looking at were powered by a seperate USB cable. Yes, that takes two data ports but at least there is no brick needed.

    Windows 7 - Move Users Directory To Another Drive

    You may consider converting your current install to a VM so you can refer to it while you are setting up your new one. I did this the last hardware change I made and actually have kept it around and still use it daily.

    Jack Daniel's distillery is indeed in TN about 2 hrs from me. Ironically it is in a dry county. Bourbon is strongly associated with KY. Both are way too sweet for me.

    From time's link the problem is a lack of mechanism for collecting the excise tax. Buying wine at the grocery store is usually not a problem for me as I can literally throw a rock into GA from my front porch.

    Motherboard Dying?

    This thread's flow doesn't make sense. Missing posts? I am not aware that windows/hardware can control that wide a range of brightness. My memory is a much narrower range and then off. But the troubleshooting is the same.

    I assume people speak American when I travel because it is the universal language. Everyone learns it. If that fails I resort to monkey-like sign language. If that fails I didn't need it anyway.

    Don't move to PNW if you like the sun or even have a little SAD. I'm told the turn over is high because people move there because of the nice weather during their visit without realizing that was the only sunny three days that month.
