In case you ever need to know this, it takes roughly 22 hours to copy 2.34TB from one external drive to another. One of my hard drives was making a funky noise yesterday morning and I decided to copy its contents onto another drive where I have room. If something happens at least I have a backup current to yesterday. When I get back from London I will pick up a new 8TB to add to the array and move everything over there. The amount I beat up hard drives this doesn't come as a shock. I wish there were an alternate way to store this much data but I will have to wait until the future is today. Heck, 10 years ago the thought of going and buying an 8TB was crazy. Who knows what storage will look like in another 10 years. 1TB flash drives? Probably.
Worked on my customization yesterday. Had a bit of downtime from 8-11 because the UK team decided to move servers without telling any of us. Nice. I used the time to run errands. Specifically I went to the bank and got some GBP for incidentals. $250 got me 165 GBP. Suck on the exchange rate. I also stopped at the jewelry store and looked at the wedding ring I want. I like it and will pick it up Friday. Chocolate diamonds set in a brushed gold finish. Makes me happy.
Got back and worked on my stuff. Finished day 3 around 4pm. I also exchanged a ton of emails with work people. One in particular I had to rewrite my reply three times to make sure I didn't sound like a dick. They want to start the first two days at 10am. WTF. 10-6 class. Bite my ass. Plus one of the people had the nerve to say if I don't change every demo "the class will be a complete failure". Um, excuse me? They 1000+ people I year would beg to differ bitch. But I was cool and didn't say anything except polite stuff.
We had fajitas for dinner, relaxed, and read. Went to bed around 10:30. Last day of customization today and if all goes well I will have Friday for myself. Wish me luck.
