  • @RussB Don't be so sure, considering how fast you're spending money. ;-) #
  • Synology is sending a replacement fan for the DS207+. Impressive tech support response time for a change. #
  • Erik's Weblog: Costco: Obama or McCain tinyurl.com/5xdj22 #
  • Lunch at Red Robin. #
  • @RussB Already spedning that hard-earned cash, I see. #
  • Just sent another picture of our cat's ear to the vet. 2 weeks of antibiotics didn't do much. Surgery is pretty much innevitable. #
  • This Synology DS207+ fan noise is going to drive me up the wall. I gotta find a solution. I emailed them, not expecting much. #
  • @RussB Start by putting $50 or more in your savings account. Financial freedom is a state of mind. #

I received this notice from Washington Mutual, yesterday. Talk about eery timing.

In all fairness, I get this type of notices on a somewhat regular basis.

  • Interesting, with the fall of WaMu, it is the third time* in recent years than one of my account has been *moved* to Chase. #
  • Only problem with the DS207+, the fan is really loud. Looking at ways to solve that problems. #
  • Kings of Leon's new album sounds pretty darn good right now. I had never heard of them until I saw them on SNL. is.gd/38OF #
  • DS207+ is all configured. Copying files now. File transfer speed is about twice what I nomally get with the LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini. #
  • Just unpacked and installed the two drives in the Synology DS207+. Installing firmware now. So far, so good. #
  • Shower, then I have to run some errands, and if I get lucky, I'll get some sleep. My sleep schedule is totally out of wack. #
  • Dropbox: Store, Sync and Share your files online. Nicely done. tinyurl.com/4nvrvl #
  • @RussB Mornin', Russ. #
  • Okay, I'm tired of this. 700 billion divided by 140 million tax payers is 5K per. Not 2K or whatever else I keep on hearing. #
  • It's funny how all of those *financial experts* on CNN, etc. don't understand how we got into this mess. Some kind of experts they are. #
  • Back from cable diving under my desk. No matter how tidy I try to make it… It's still a mess. #
