My Workstation (at Work)
Here's an older shot from my previous setup at home (much has changed since then... but most things are the same—in principle! The core tenets of a Geerling computer workstation are:
- Multiple Macs.
- One of the Macs must have at least a 24" display.
- Complexity (like messy cables) should be hidden as much as possible.
- Screen real estate trumps everything else.
External Microphones for iPhone 5s, 5, 4S, iPad and iPod Touch Audio input

Note on iPhone 5 : Right now the only confirmed way to record stereo on the iPhone 5 is with the GuitarJack Model 2 and an Apple 30-pin to lightning adapter. All other headset-jack based solutions work as well as the iPhone 4/4S!
To dramatically increase the quality of the sound you record on your iOS device, you should use an external microphone or mixer, or a direct line input.

Installing Windows XP from a Microsoft-downloaded .exe file
I recently received a downloaded copy of Windows XP SP3 from Microsoft (I ordered the downloadable file, rather than a mailed CD, for installing on one of my Macs), and noticed that, unlike usual disk images, this file had the extension .exe rather than .iso or .img...
To get it to work with VMWare, I needed to either turn the file into an image, or burn it to a physical CD or DVD. After searching fruitlessly for hours, I finally found a

ZFS scrubs and resilvers are not sequential IO
Here is something that is probably not as widely known as it couldbe: ZFS scrubs and resilvers are not done with sequential IO, theway conventional RAID resynchronization and checking is done.
Conventional RAID resyncs run in linear order from the start of eachdisk to the end. This means that they're strictly sequential IO ifthey're left undisturbed by user IO (which is one reason that you candestroy conventional RAID resync performance by doing enough random userIO).
ZFS scrubs and resilvers don't work
How zpool status reports on ZFS scrubs and resilvers
A recent thread on the ZFS mailing list concerned inaccurate ormisleading reports from zpool status about the progress of scrubs(both bad time estimates and a scrub that wasn't finishing despiteclaiming to be 100% done). As it happens, I know something about howthis works because I recently went digging into what information thekernel actually reports to userland.
The kernel reports the following information:
- the number of bytes currently allocated in the pool and in each vdev.
- how many bytes in the pool have been
