We're usually always on the dirty side.
And NOLA never cleaned up from 3 years ago. Hope it blows itself out and makes a turn away from us.

Looks like I'll be passing that up! 
The laptop would probably explode as the max-out I did has burned the paint off the RAM bay! 
I'm getting close to thowing it through a wall!!!!
Yeah, I'm not sure of the price of our 8GB DIMMs, but about a year ago when I first started testing the 4GB DIMMs, a set of 4 of them cost more than I make in a year at HP!!! The C7000 is a nice enclosure, but I like the c3000 Shorty enclosure 
It's the latest and greatest, even though it only holds 8 half heights, it comes in a smaller package (thus the name shorty) and they have greater functionality...
Ox, yeah if you are ever having issues that you can't seem to get a hold of someone about, let me know and I can always try and get ya'll some help.

I've been watching these two sites:
http://www.skeetobiteweather.com/
These provide alot more detail on the computer models and stuff that the weather channel and the National Hurricane Center actually use to create their forecasts.
Every update on the computer models over the past two days has shifted the track slightly more to the western gulf, to the west of NOLA. Right now the majority of the models are pointing to western LA, but there is a high pressure center moving down from the greater 48 that could cause quite a more drastic western turn as Gus gets close to the coast...in other words, it could look like it's going to hit West LA, then take a sudden left turn and head straight for TX.
Imagine the High pressure center as a huge clockwise rotating circle, and the bottom piece of that circle will be reaching the gulf coast just ahead of Gus, so then Gus can't go through the pressure center, so the clockwise motion along the bottom of that circle (an East to West motion) becomes a steering current and Gus just follows along the bottom of that circle.
I think I'm in the wrong profession sometimes...LOL.
As far as I know, the enclosures have been relatively free of issues. We're using them in a large virtualization/consolidation project and it's going fairly well. Whatever can't be put on VMWare is becoming a blade. We've got scads of DL360's and DL380's that will eventually become virtuals or blades.
And to think that I cut my HP teeth on T-Class and K-Class and N-Class HP-UX servers not very long ago. The new technology is amazing.

Cool weather sites Hog. Thanks for the links. I'm the Skywarn coordinator for my county, so I check the NWS site often for updates. It looks like I'm adding two new weather sites to my bookmarks.

No problem...I actually just found those sites about 3 days ago, I had only been monitoring nhc.noaa.gove previous to that. Oh I forgot one more...this one is cool because you can always see up to date satellite imagery fram the nasa satellites. If you play around with them you can click on any point in the big satellite picture and it will zoom into a lower level, but still high resolution image and you can put it in motion and all of that...

Now you are showing your age I didn't even start working for HP until the P class servers were almost end of life.
Everything is going towards virtualization now, so the blades environment is a great way to go towards that. I'll have to be sure and put up the link to the product I'm working on once it's released. Our NIC has pretty powerful virtualization abilities...but that's all I'll really say about it now I want to keep my job...
show...Des Moines? That's actually like me more than you know...I've been fascinated with hurricanes since I grew up in AR, even though Hurricanes don't affect them at all either
LOL...if my dad or me or my brother weren't married, we would be an exact copy of that
just another little detail from the 11pm EDT update from the National Hurricane Center
THE SHIPS MODEL CALLS FOR A PEAK INTENSITY OF 99
KT (114mph)...THE LGEM MODEL 94 KT (108mph)...THE GFDL 111 KT (127 mph)...AND THE HWRF 137 KT (157mph).
THE LATTER IS DEFINITELY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE INTENSITY
FORECAST IS INCREASED OVER THE PREVIOUS FORECAST IN BEST AGREEMENT
WITH THE GFDL. HOWEVER...IT WOULD BE NO SURPRISE IF RAPID
INTENSIFICATION OCCURRED AND GUSTAV BECAME A CATEGORY 4 OR 5
HURRICANE BY 72 HR.
They do predict some weakening before landfall of it does reach the Cat 4 or cat 5 level.

gotta like beer and cigarettes too...
Those are cool sites!
I was flying with Google Earth 2 days ago, and noticed right away, the bright blue spot where the storm was. Been watching it from there.
This reminds me of Labor Day weekend in 1979 when we had 3 hurricanes/TSs in the Gulf.
