If you live in Orange County, California you can check out Tesla Roadster and Model S at Fashion Island. Now, all I need is $60,000.00 to get a Model S.
One broken MagSafe power adapter.
I’m at Apple Store Fashion Island, waiting for my appointment at the Genius Bar.
Thanks to Apple Store employee for replacing this broken MagSafe Adapter even though I forgot a few details such as the serial number of the MacBook.

Apple confirms “March of the iPad 3” event.
The Loop reports that Apple announces iPad event for March 7 in San Francisco.
“We have something you really have to see. And touch.”
We received the words back in December 2011 that the next iPad which is expected to carry the name iPad 3 would be coming in March 2012. According on a source who claimed to have a firstname@apple.com email:
- iPad 3 display has double the horizontal and vertical resolution, but the term “Retina Display” was not even mentioned once.
- iPad 3 would be compatible with the current Smart Cover.
Key Apple employees are currently in Foxconn China factory, according to various sources.
As usual, we will be aggregating links to sites who would be providing live report from the event.
“How much is the shipping fee?”
Let’s see. A $0.30 worth of merchandise with $89.40 shipping & handling. That makes a lot of sense. Apparently this particular third party seller at Amazon doesn’t want to pay the marketplace percentage fee. The $89.90 shipping & handling fee is for standard shipping too.
The trouble with MySQL, again.
I just found out one of the MySQL databases went offline.
I’ll see if it has something to do with what the host has been doing.
Recovering from Windows Home Server failure.
I spent good portion of Friday and Saturday recovering data from a failed Windows Home Server. I get better understanding on what really happened. Apparently One of the hard drive was having trouble and in turn brought the whole storage pool down. Insufficient RAM on HP MediaSmart also a contributing factor to the failure. Having the system paging the hard-drive constantly might cause the drop in performance.
Anyway, I managed to recover the data by mounting the hard drive on another computer. There’s a hidden “DE” folder where all the files are stored.
I have recovered 90% of the data and that’s enough to calm everyone at the office down. Having a dual T1 line doesn’t really help downloading 300GB back from off-site backup in time. As a matter of fact I’ll be ordering a new and much faster connection on Monday.
In addition to that I have ordered a Synology DS712+ so I can have backup of the backup for this particular office.
One Windows Home Server just took a dive.
I should have known the Windows Home Server was going to take a dive. Windows Home Server complained that one of the drive was not functioning even though it was spinning just fine when connected a diagnostic computer. Apparently Volume Shadow Copy Service has been crashing.
Well, I already ordered a Synology DS712+ and new hard drives to replace this Windows Home Server. Luckily I also have backup on Amazon S3.
