Yet another steak. Delicious. Baby spinach and pine nuts with cream sauce. Some pesto pasta salad leftover from a BBQ.

Lenovo notebook BIOS sucks. You cannot upgrade your wifi module unless it has been whitelisted by Lenovo in that particular BIOS.

Today I put together some pasties for tea with leftover roast lamb and bbq chicken. I didn't even need to add extra veggies as there were plenty of roast potatoes and pumpkin to put in.

More power rail testing. I wrote an expect script to step through each outlet and power cycle it. You can watch as this happens to verify that the relay clicks and indicator lights are lit / extinguished. This gives you a reasonable idea whether everyhing is functioning correctly.

Got a few APC power rails to test, so today I threw together a quick 20A test fixture. It allows you to connect a 20A appliance into a 10A power socket. You can't run the rails at 20A of course, but it's enough to fire up the rail and validate that all the switching and control works correctly.

Scored a new 10G switch today. A Juniper EX4500. 28 10 gigabit ports.
