EOL SCSI

I’ve loved SCSI for as long as I’ve been into computers. It has always been the pinnacle of storage. And when I was able to afford it, I got into it. I’ve had SCSI OS drives for many years for speed and reliability. I’ve loved the advantages. Low latency is good stuff. But the cost was just so high. Having to learn about LVD and SE and termination and 80 pin and adaptors and cabling and the rest of the stuff was a headache. The cost is so high and the vendors specialized. The noise and the heat and power consumption.

SATA SSDs will fill the role SCSI did for me in the past. Much more mainstream and much less esoteric and silent and faster. Only thing missing are the bragging rights.

So I am wiping my SCSI drives in preparation for disposal. I get to hear the noise and deal with the cables one last time. Nice knowing you. Now get the fuck out of my house.

Okayama League Newsletter 2009.14

Must suck to be Tim or Rhett this week. Losses make their hopes for the playoffs bleak. Good week to be Kevin and Dave. Always a good week to be Chinese though.

We have a good idea of who will be in the playoffs. But only 2 players have cinched playoff spots. There is still a chance for Kevin and Dave to not make the playoffs if they lose and if they don’t score enough points.

This is all assuming Points For is the tiebreaker (which it has been in the past).

After 3 straight wins, Kevin has a 1 game lead on Rhett and Tim. Tim appears to not have enough Points For to win a tiebreaker. Rhett is one game and 28 points back. He needs Kevin to lose and to outscore Kevin by 28+ points next week to get to the playoffs. Doesn’t seem likely.

Dave has a 1 game lead on AK and Chris. AK has a huge Points For lead on everyone from the East Division so if he wins and Dave loses, he is in. Chris is only 3 points behind Dave but one game behind. He needs to win, needs AK to lose, needs Dave to lose and needs to outscore Dave by 3+ points to get into the playoffs.

I’m also going to assume the 2 top players from each division play each other in the first round of the playoffs.

*Week 13 Review – Highlights from Week 13

Matt caught a bit of a break. My normally rock solid RBs had very mediocre games this week. Both my bench RBs did better than my starters. But my receivers had huge games. Matt had a ugly game though. Lowest scoring team of the week. Better luck next year and hopefully you can make the draft. Addai has been excellent sitting on my bench all season. I can understand why folks don’t trust him but if someone had taken him in a trade, and I was offering, they would have had a solid RB for the playoff run.

Kevin gets a clutch win against Derek. The Steeler’s self implosion and AP playing like Larry Johnson did Derek’s team in. Kevin his 7 total RBs on his team. Hope he doesn’t pick the right ones during week 15.

Brian put in a good game trying to tank Dave’s shot at the postseason. He left lots of points on the bench. Aaron Rodgers continues to be unstoppable. Dave still needs another win next week though.

Rhett couldn’t pull off a Monday Night victory against Chris. He need 12 points from the Vikings DST and Sidney Rice but only got 9. Favre threw a late TD to Harvin instead of Rice. Missed it by 28 yards to Rice. Rhett left 84 points on the bench. Chris got his RBs back. No more Rock Cartwright. V. Jackson continues to stink.

All 8 of AK’s players were playing during the early Sunday games. Don’t think I’ve seen that before. AK is the week’s top scorer. Four players with 20 or more points and one with 19. Hard to beat that. And Tim didn’t. Too bad Tim’s kicker didn’t actually play this week.

*Best plays and worse plays (yeah, that’s right, not worst, just worse than the best)

Tim grabbed Jason Campbell off the wire and started him. He was the second best QB this week scoring wise.

Tim kicker sat out this game (but it didn’t matter).

Kevin finally dropped Anthony Gonzalez.

*Interview – Still waiting for Matt’s response

*Looking forward

There are still a few games that matter next week. Really matter.

AK needs a win next week but is stuck playing the Chinese. Sorry AK.

Dave plays Kevin. Kevin doesn’t need a win nearly as bad as Dave does. While I would have preferred the last few games been against division opponents, this one is interesting because both have some chance of missing the playoffs with a loss. Kevin has Jerome Harrison running against the Steelers in his lineup as I write this. Wow. Really? But then again, Kevin’s actually good at being a coach.

Derek plays Tim next week. Tim needs to score 170 points to make up the difference with Kevin. Meaningless game for Derek. Derek is up to having 4 QBs on his roster. A good one is hard to find.

Rhett needs his team to go off like crazy to stand a chance. Can he finally find the right guys to start?

Chris gets a rematch against Brian. Brian beat Chris 2 weeks ago. Really messed up the playoff run for Chris. Can he do it again? Chris is right there with Dave in terms of Points For. Kick his ass, Brian.
