I know I didn’t post a lot on what got changed in my daily life, I was just too busy (on some B.S. projects) to mentioned them.

Well, let’s see what’s new in the past month or so:

  • A guinea pig, his name is “Snowy” as he’s pure white, I know he does not like me too much as I went to sleep very late recently, and all light and my steps bothered his sleep for sure
  • Nikon D3000 – finally started DSLR life, and though I was thinking I will play with basic len for a year or so, I now want to have another len … proved people are greedy, for all the time
  • iRobot Roomba – the robot vacuum which will keep the house clean, especially after Snowy’s here, or ya, Snowy is just couple of months old, he does not have good habit to keep his place tidy
  • Wii Sport Resort – I like swordplay the most ๐Ÿ˜€

OK pretty much.

I think I started shopping season earlier than others ๐Ÿ˜› .

Test progress

There was not much progress with performance test as mentioned here.

I first did test with LDAP vs. memcached, then found there was not much difference between those two, which is suspicious, so I started running test to compare pure database and memcached solution, which ideally should show lot of difference, but I failed.

I still haven’t figured out what was the real cause, it seems VM is not that good to do this kind of test – thinking of limited resource (CPU, mem, network, disk, etc), all VMs will compete each other. Again, this is my guess and I will try to see what would be the best solution to get performance done in VM environment.

Even if I failed, it shows that VM will not be good for performance testing, nice try ๐Ÿ™‚ .
