It is very rare I meet someone who understands it. At least outside of tech circles. <br /><br />Really though I would rather talk about other things. I talk it enough at work and during the day that I realize there is more to life. :DKelli Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894619011949920947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018123962812490552.post-18302674866154528692011-01-28T08:46:58.953-05:002011-01-28T08:46:58.953-05:00*sitting with glazed over eyes*
Huh? lol
I ...*sitting with glazed over eyes* <br /><br /> Huh? lol<br />I don't know if it is because of the people I know or that the technology industry is so huge! There seems to be quite of few people whom have transitioned while employed in that industry. Without which, none of us would be able to communicate to each other. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing what it is that you do. It's nice to find out as I was trying to put bits together. Obviously, there was no way that I could have been right about that!<br /><br />Take care!Leslie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023309641894450256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018123962812490552.post-85378565196691627272011-01-28T08:33:06.901-05:002011-01-28T08:33:06.901-05:00@Stacy, Actually I don't spread IO over disks ...@Stacy, Actually I don't spread IO over disks anymore. The new technology that was brought in (my project that kept me busy last year) stripes data by sector now. In addition drive are now sealed and self reconditioning. Kind of neat when you consider the story of how it was developed. <br /><br />@Jessica, bored, no I mentioned that. There is always something else to work on. At least for me. Since I am smart enough to get tagged for learning new things. <br /><br />Really I know a few trans women who did the same thing. Bury themselves in their work. Accountant, Lawyer, Engineer. It was just finding something to take your mind off things. <br /><br />I learned about computers simply because I knew they were a powerful tool in creating or getting things done. I never envisioned this all those years ago.Kelli Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894619011949920947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018123962812490552.post-32715940074440673982011-01-28T02:45:31.049-05:002011-01-28T02:45:31.049-05:00On an interesting side note, I once read about how...On an interesting side note, I once read about how a lot of trans-folk were in the IT field. I'm not saying that's true, but well here's the 3 of us and we're all in IT. But, of course, that article also stated that it was because we were too bored with our lives and becoming trans was just something new to do... idiots!<br /><br />But the way I see it is that more than likely we were just lonely and miserable in our lives and burying are heads into tech books and whatnot, staying focused on learning new things such as IT related fields, kept us busy and allowed us to get by.. and well, now gives us the means to transition and become the successful woman we truly are!Jessica Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150372200208038517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018123962812490552.post-52825432122826400282011-01-28T02:34:32.871-05:002011-01-28T02:34:32.871-05:00Well I followed the same road too, only at the for...Well I followed the same road too, only at the fork I did take the programming route... which is what I'm still doing today.. and a decent designer. I started by building my own PCs as well, and still do. Fry's Electronics has a lot of my money!<br /><br />I'm glad you shared more about yourself, but I hope mentioning all those names of women doesn't out you to them!.. though I guess soon it wont really matter.Jessica Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150372200208038517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018123962812490552.post-13858809983045928222011-01-27T15:18:06.084-05:002011-01-27T15:18:06.084-05:00I love the theory of SAN's, espcially as someo...I love the theory of SAN's, espcially as someone who has to look after a high uptime DB that uses a SAN via iSCSI to spead the load of our IO operations over a number of discs (I have no idea how many!). But that is as far as my knowledge goes. Servers (physical and virtual) are no issue - but SAN's are a magical black box in the server room.<br /><br />As for bulding your own machines, I remember being in Uni (about 15 years ago) and driving around going to wholesale computer part suppliers, using a made up company name and paying cash so that they would actually serve me in order to get a decent machine that would do what I needed for as little as possible. Happy days :)<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.com
