And here is its disk:

The top pic looks like a few DL380s, G3 or G4 I suspect, with a smattering of DL320 and DL580? I don't know those disk packs though. And what are those old things under your Compaq PCs on your desk? I recognise them.

I'll have to sort out some photos of the stuff I deal with, but it's all miles away from the office I work in. Most of it is Sun with a bit of HP.

The disk is part of a Sun StorageTek SAN - that's a about a quarter of it, but it's used for other things besides email.

All the PCs on my desk are RMs.

Right about the DLs - they were all bought before HP went with SAS disks in G5, the 320s just save the ISA config, the 380s are front-end stuff and the 580s are the main cluster as they needed a million HPAs up their arse.

I work for a 'large international security firm', distributing software to workstations. I cannot provide pictures for similar reasons to Joose, but I can admit to working in a depressing open plan office. Luckily I work at the back where the naughty teams live, so we can slack off in relative peace.

i tried one with chicken last time, quite a nice change from the mystery meat.

If you ever get the chance to go to a proper kebab house then it's well worth it. My favourites are 'kuzu orman' kebab (goat forest kebab), chunks of goat with carrot, potato and pepper and 'kilic sis' kebab which is sword fish with smoked paprika and vegetables. But when I'm pissed I'll still have some of the turning meat with everything on.

Kebab: Adana.

But Kofte is where it's at.

/has a proper Turkish flatmate.

Post by **HereComesPete** » March 15th, 2008, 21:10

Adana's are nice, if only more shitty 'bab houses served them up here in newcastle. I go for the kofte when I'm moderately sober but still drunk enough to fancy a kebab in a polystyrene box. I'm a big fan, so working with a turkish chef was rather win.
