Beat Ben at snooker last night 2-1. All the games were damn close, and both of us managed to put some reasonable breaks together. I think we might actually be improving, although the table (Table 2) was atrocious. Ben is away on holiday next week, so we have booked for the following week - on a different table!

This morning, after dropping Shell at work, I once again dismantled my PCs and moved the hard disks around. The server now has a 10gb boot drive and a 160gb RAID-0 array. And its damned fast :)

The main PC now has an 80gb and a 40gb in it as I didnt see the need for massive amounts of storage on the main PC when I can fit shit loads into the server. I've seen a new case that can hold 7, yes, 7 3.5" devices. As I already have a nice beefy PSU that can support them all - I'm damn tempted. Its also a better layout than my existing case, so I can add some cooling to it. That way I could have 4 80gb drives in a RAID-0 - giving me 320Gb of network storage. I'm sure that should do me for a while. Next months pay packet is buying me a case, an 80mm fan and 2x 80gb drives.

My mate Ian (who I tried contacting yesterday, but was unable to) is in hospital! He had a pain in the stomach from Sunday and then went to casualty when it got worst and has now had an operation on his appendix! So I'm gonna go see him this afternoon. When you get home mate - get well soon.
