At the end of April 2005 glasfiber became available at the Haarweg student housing complex in Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Good way to start some heavy downloading.
Boy, was it fast!!!!!
In one day I downloaded over 40 GB with my Zalman TNN 500A with over a terabyte of harddisks. Quite some capacity in those days.
Here are some screenshots. Notice that there were no fans running as the Zalman technology consists of computer systems without them, hence the acronym TNN (Totally No Noise).
Although having four 300 GB harddisks in your system does create some noise, but not comparable to my previous system, a Dell Poweredge 2300 with 6 SCSI hard disks (my Dyson vacuumcleaner makes less noise).
Some ramblings
Joke:
Single
A woman walks into a supermarket and buys:
- One bar of soap
- One toothbrush
- One toothpaste
- One loaf of bread
- One quart of milk
- One box of cereal
- One single frozen dinner
At which, the checkout guy looks at her and asks, "Single, huh?"
She sarcastically replies, "How'd you guess?"
He says, "Because you're ugly."
