Tutto Perfetto. Siamo arrivati tardi ma senza problemi sono venuti ad accoglierci. Bellissima zona davvero a due passi dal centro.
Il referente ci ha gentilmente consegnato le chiavi direttamente presso l'(website hidden) essendo quasi le 23 quando siamo arrivati a Milano. La casa è in una posizione strategica, servita da metro e ben collegata anche a piedi con il centro città. L'immobile si presenta in ottimo stato e perfetto anche per 4 persone che sanno arrangiarsi con un bagno. Unico intoppo che invito a visionare prima di consegnare la casa, il funzionamento del wifi (apprezzabilissimo lo sforzo di risolvere il problema a distanza da parte di Igor, anche se senza nulla di fatto) e intervenire sull'autonomia dello scaldabagno che non regge più di due doccie consecutive con acqua calda.
Lembranças dos maravilhosos dias em Milão! Ap bem localizado, limpo e organizado. Os dias foram muito frios e tivemos pequenos problemas com a calefação na sala, comuniquei ao Igor que se prontificou em resolver! Recomendo a todos!
My mother, my sister and I rent this apartment as it was nearby the place we had to be and price OK. But we've been quite disappointed as the apartment was cold, just air heating not usually italian (email hidden)ally noisy early in the morning (first morning glass rubbish at 6am) awful..bed's ok, but some blankets dirty ! Nothing for a simple breakfast (some tea-coffee-sugar...) and towels just one each, also lights in the bathroom quite inexistent, no full mirror in the apartment...I think for this kind of place price should be lower. And agents (cause it's an agency) more involved in giving a service. Be careful seems there is a cleaning fee to pay cash when you enter in the apartment, hopefully I told them was unacceptable and they didn't charge me. Anyway position is good can go easily by foot in the center of Milan.
Our booking was changed to another property at the last minute due to a problem with the water supply, so we were not actually staying in this property. We were relocated to another property in Piazza de la Republica. There were no issues with making or changing the booking. Alex and Igor were very helpful.
My parents went to pick up the keys from the office. Although it was difficult for them to find, Alex was there waiting for them when they arrived. They had greater difficulty finding the actual apartment. We were given an address of "1A 1A Piazza de la Republica". The apartment building itself was difficult enough to find, but the actual flat number was 52 and we found it by walking around the building! Directions to the property could have been better.
We saw photos of the property prior to rearranging the booking and it actually looked quite nice. We were to have a sofa bed, double bed and 2 single beds. On arrival we felt the photos were misleading. What looked like a shiny new apartment looked old and tired. It also smelt a bit foisty and damp too. It just didn't feel very clean. The sofa bed and one of the single beds was broken and not very comfortable. We didn't feel that this was great for the price we paid. I spent a long time looking for accommodation for our trip and was a bit disappointed with the result. I feel like the photos for all of these properties may be misleading based on my experiences this time.
Overall the property was in a good location and we coped with it for a few days. Not the beautiful holiday location that I thought I had booked in the first place though.
The apartment was just perfect for my trip. It's in a great location and it's very close to the subway so getting around Milan was very easy. There was some street noise at night but nothing too bad.
Igor was extremely helpful. I would definitely book with him again.
Great time in Milan, wish I could have stayed longer. Igor and Alex were great and very responsive to our needs. This apartment is in a nice location, just two blocks away for Pta Venezia metro station, many good restaurants, cafes, and bars. Nice walk through the park across the street (and end of block) to the Galleria d'Arte Moderna (GAM) and the Padiglione D'Arte Contemporanea (PAC)museums. The elevator in the building was a very welcome plus. The apartment itself could use some upgrading, particularly the hot water in bathroom (there were four of us sharing so quick showers were necessary) and Wi-Fi service. This didn't work most of the time we were there. Otherwise, a pleasant stay!

Mission Bay
Central Auckland
Head to Mission Bay and discover a beautiful white-sand beach and a vibrant beachfront promenade lined with stylish but relaxed eateries.
Take a romantic stroll along the waterfront or bring the family down for a picnic. Just 15 minutes from the city centre, Mission Bay is Auckland's most urban beach.
Top picks
Hit the beach
Mission Bay Beach offers lots of water activities – take a dip in the sea, hire a kayak, try stand up paddleboarding, or just relax with a family picnic and throw a frisbee around.
Get active
Join the fitness fans along scenic Tamaki Drive. Go rollerblading, jogging, walking or cycling. And for the kids there's a great children's playground too.
Make a meal of it
Enjoy a lively brunch, lunch or dinner with friends at one of the many cafés and restaurants. Dine al fresco with great food, seaside views and a relaxed vibe.
Soak up the views
Take in the spectacular harbour views from Michael Savage Memorial's hilltop spot. With a lovely garden and panoramic views across the Waitemata Harbour, it's another perfect place for a picnic.
Scream for ice cream
Cool off on a warm day with a few scoops of your favourite ice cream, a tradition in Mission Bay. Or enjoy fresh, hot fish and chips on the grassy park.
Why visit?
Mission Bay is just a 15-minute scenic drive east along Tamaki Drive, making it the most accessible urban beach from downtown Auckland. Enjoy the social atmosphere and excellent food day or night, and take time out on the beach to soak up the views across the harbour to Rangitoto Island.
Stop in at the walk-through Kelly Tarlton's SEA LIFE Aquarium, located on Tamaki Drive, to see the world's largest Antarctic penguin colony exhibit, as well as stingrays, sharks and more.

Overload controller and ultimate bec?
Lets say you have a 40 amp controller and are using the UBEC.
Now for some reason (you run 80 amps through it) the controller shuts down, will the UBEC continue to function?
I am actually only running 60-70 amps according to Motocalc (hacker b407L 15x10 and 8x1700). Since it will only be on for 10-15 seconds it should be allright, but sure don't want to lose any more planes due to equipment failure.

Yes, the UBEC will continue. It has nothing to do with the controller and is actually a bypass circuit that is a direct feed, stepped down to Rx voltage, directly from the battery pack to the Rx.

"Now for some reason (you run 80 amps through it) the controller shuts down, will the UBEC continue to function? "
It depends on why the controller shut down. Thermal protection or a short ?
I have used an "old rule of thumb" that anything over 40 amps (was 20, then 30, now 40 amps) should use a rec battery, not BEC. Even a UBEC may be applicable.
My concern, is that as the amps increase, failures are more likely for the batt pack, esc, or motor. A dead batt pack will still cause the UBEC to quit.
I have had a brake FET short in a brushed ESC that dumped the battery really fast, but this happened on the bench and not in the air. So as I watched the batt smoke I realized there was a problem.
If you use a BEC or UBEC and the motor seems low on power, shut the throttle off and land.
It is a tough call,

Wedding bells are in the air. The creator of Glee, Ryan Murphy, announced his engagement to his life-long partner today during a KIIS-FM radio interview with Ryan Seacrest. Murphy, 45, said, "I'm with a great fellow now who I've known for 15 years....we just got engaged and I'm very excited about it!" Who can blame him? His career and love life seem to be right on track. Does this mean Gleeks worldwide should be expecting a wedding themed episode in the upcoming third season? One can only hope! I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a small Glee performance during the wedding ceremony (does that only sound amazing to me?). Enough with the original songs though, let's stick to the covered songs please.
Murphy's accomplishments don't just begin and end with Glee. The Golden Globe winner created the well known F/X drama Nip/Tuck and the WB series Popular. He also directed the recent box office hit, Eat, Pray, Love, which starred Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem. I'm getting a very everything-he-touches-turns-to-gold vibe from him. Congratulations to Murphy - keep doing what you're doing. Here's to many more years of success and a happy marriage full of much GLEE (alright I'll stop).

Long Time, No Post
Hi guys! It's been a long, long time since I posted here. I guess I have to say that Facebook go me mesmerized and I've been spending most of my time there. However, I was just sitting here thinking about the GW in general & the GP in particular, so decided to pop in here & see what everyone is doing. Hope to be able to divide my time more equitably in the future. This was my first home on the Internet & I'm not quite ready to leave it.
It's good to see you Andie. Feel the same way about the GP but in my case it's more time constraints. I have a facebook account, but use it mostly for family communications because a lot of my kin forget whom they told what. They slap it on facebook and am amazed I don't know what they are talking about.
Hiya Andie!
I just recently got on Facebook, but never got far, since the very first thing they wanted to know is if i'm gay...or as they put it, "What are you interested in?...men or women?" Ummm, i think both are pretty interesting...but who i sleep with is nobody's bidness...then "What are you looking for"...umm, my cousin?? So if you want to know absolutely nuthin about me, except my age and gender, you can visit my page! (Householder)THe picture does kinda look like me, the hairstyle at least...
Haven't changed a bit, have I?? ;~)
lynnie b
Happy to see you back here, you've been missed.
Being very distrustful of business' promises, and very protective of my privacy, I'm another FB non-participant. If I could ignore past incidences involving FB & similar sites, and/or had such a large family that any contact was better than none, I might feel differently, meanwhile family and friends can update me by phone, cell, e-mail, snail-mail and in person. That's enough choices to keep me in touch :)
Hi Andy,
I have been away for a long time and just getting back to saying hello to old friends. How are you and are any of the salvias still living? I bet they are beautiful.
So glad to be back -
Here is a link that might be useful: My New Bible Garden web site
Hi Andie, nice to see you pop in, and hello from your old northern haunts. I too have been lured by Facebook, and I don't come here as much as I used to--and when I do, I mostly read. But I still do like checking in here and there.
The former MsAnnThorpe

- A New Face - MP
Logo and website
- The prepared materials are made by Helle Stendorff Hansen & Henriette Engsig, May 2009 for a bachelor project in English for Science & Technology as part of the ICM study programme at AU-IBT.
The logo is produced in illustrator CS3 and is made after the rule - It has been made in a variety of colours to exemplify the unlimited opportunities a simple logo offers. The new logo consists of a stretched square, which holds the letters MP. Both the tipped P and the stretched square add a creative dimension into the logo. Furthermore, the simplicity enables the logo to adapt to a specific target audience or theme by playing with the colours.
- The website is created in InDesign CS3 and the collages in Photoshop CS3. The layout is based on the most basic principal: the rule of thirds. The colourful graphics combined with white space create contrasts. Contrast is an excellent tool to use in order to achieve attention. Besides, white space leaves a visual breathing room for the eye (in contrast to the colourful and detailed collages), and makes each webpage appear less confusing and overwhelming.

A method and system manages revisions of software code for one or more servers in an infrastructure. An indication of the version of the code currently residing with one of the servers is transmitted to the infrastructure. An indication of the version of the code currently residing with the infrastructure for the server's type is also transmitted to the one of the servers. A determination is made as to whether the server's version should be updated to the infrastructure's, whether the infrastructure's version should be updated to the server's, or neither based on the transmitted indications in view of a set of preconfigured update rules. If the infrastructure's version should be updated to the server's, the image of the code currently residing with the infrastructure is replaced with an image of the code currently residing with the server. If the server's version should be updated to the infrastructure's, the image of the code currently residing with the server is replaced with an image of the code currently residing with the infrastructure for the server's type.

As computing needs have increased, the need for more efficient use of space in data centers has driven the development of denser computing solutions. In addition, the need for easier setup, management, and maintenance has influenced new server designs. Both of these datacenter needs have driven the development of a new class of server systems known as blades. Blades have been made feasible by technology advances allowing complex computer systems performing server functions to be designed in a very dense package. Several of these blade servers may then be inserted into an enclosure infrastructure through which the blade servers are able to share common power supply and ground busses, as well as communications busses over a backplane. This enclosure is housed within a standard server rack. A blade infrastructure allows for increased server density and simplifies the cabling and management of the blade servers as compared to standard rack-mount servers. Many applications that are computationally intensive or that manage large databases or mass storage arrays are addressed using a significant number of servers in parallel. Blades are useful for such applications. One of the challenges of managing a large number of servers, whether blade-based as described above or rack-based servers coupled together over a network such as a local area network (LAN), is maintaining software/firmware code revisions within those servers as each individual system is hardware and/or firmware updated.
Those tasked with the management of large groups of servers employ a wide range of different policies for maintaining system code versions/revisions for each server. One such firmware component that must be managed is the system firmware. Some users may wish to always upgrade each blade to the very latest revision of the system firmware. Others may seek to standardize on a particular revision of the system firmware that they believe is the most reliable for their particular application environment, notwithstanding that one or more new versions/revisions may have been released for the blade server type(s) that they are employing. No matter what software upgrade policy a manager prefers to implement, there are always going to be cases where the system firmware or other software code residing with a server must be upgraded. For a particular server type, a newer firmware version/revision may be required to support a new stepping (i.e. a new mask revision) of its processor or chipset. These hardware updates are almost always accompanied by a required update in the firmware code, which is typically backwards compatible with earlier versions of the processor or chipset. In addition, there may be firmware code updates that are required because they address some critical systems operation issue, and should be made to all of the blades of that type in which previous versions/revisions of the firmware lacking those critical updates currently reside.
Typical regimes employed today for managing system firmware and other software versioning for blade servers follows the same methodology commonly employed for stand-alone rack and tower servers. Each blade contains a revision of the firmware/software code. When upgrading the firmware code for a blade, the same techniques are used as those commonly used for flashing stand-alone servers. Each server system has its code image updated independently by flashing the flash ROM component with the new version/revision to overwrite the old version/revision. Standard mechanisms and policies for maintaining and updating firmware revisions are applied, albeit manually, in this process. In this case, the individual blades of a blade infrastructure provide no specific features for maintaining firmware/software code revisions beyond that which are commonly provided for stand-alone servers.
Mechanisms have been developed by server system vendors in an effort to simplify the upgrade of system ROM firmware or other software revisions for users. For example, Online Flash and mechanisms for mass deployment through Systems Insight Manager are provided by Hewlett Packard Company and can be used to simplify the process of upgrading system firmware. Online Flash mechanisms allow the system firmware to be updated while running the operating system, but require the system be rebooted after the flash process. Mass deployment mechanisms can be employed to update a large number of servers. This allows setting up scripts to allow many servers to be upgraded without manually touching each server. Notwithstanding, these mechanisms still require the user to perform a substantially manual process of identifying which servers should be upgraded and configuring the individual servers, including blade servers sharing a common infrastructure, to upgrade their individual versions of the system ROM firmware or other software.
A more recently proposed mechanism for managing system ROM firmware revisions on the individual blades of a blade infrastructure is to store the only copy of the system ROM on the enclosure of the infrastructure. Each individual blade must still contain a ROM part (this could be a one-time programmable or flash part). Typically, this ROM part would still contain code that performs basic initialization of the system, including configuring the memory subsystem to allow the system to copy the System ROM from the enclosure into shadowed memory of each of the blades. A similar proposed implementation requires that the blade actually fetch code directly from the enclosure's flash ROM. The advantage of this technique is that it simplifies the management of system software versions to only one centralized copy of the software for each particular blade type supported by the enclosure.
However, this simplification is not without its disadvantages. By restricting system software such as system ROM firmware to a single centralized copy for a given blade type in the infrastructure, the versioning process is not nearly as flexible as the manual techniques that are largely still deployed in the field. Because all blades within the infrastructure are constrained to only use the single copy of firmware code residing with the enclosure for their type, the updating of firmware on a blade-by-blade basis would not be permitted. Thus, the maintenance of system software updates using this proposed technique is significantly more restrictive than the update rules already commonly used. For example, a user may wish to observe a firmware update running on a limited number of blades before requiring that all blades of that type be updated. Moreover, it would not be possible to employ a blade that has a newer version of hardware (e.g. a new stepping of the processor for that blade type) if a newer version of the system firmware is required to support that newer hardware, at least until the enclosure's version is updated. Finally, implementing this technique would require a significant departure from the architecture (including both hardware and software) of current systems in the field. Thus, systems would have to be redesigned architecturally, including the development of new ASICs to support such a feature, and users would be required to learn new flash upgrade methods that will be more restrictive than they currently have.
For a detailed description of embodiments of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which:
Notation and Nomenclature
Certain terms are used throughout the following description and in the claims to refer to particular features, apparatus, procedures, processes and actions resulting there from. For example, the terms system software and firmware are used generally to denote software code required for operation of the system in which it is executed and for which the maintenance of updated versions of that software and firmware are critical to proper operation of those systems. The term server is used to denote any computer system for which the maintenance of its system software/firmware is critical to the user of such a system, and is not intended to otherwise restrict the interpretation of that term to any particular type of computer system. Those skilled in the art may refer to an apparatus, procedure, process, result or a feature thereof by different names.
This document does not intend to distinguish between components, procedures or results that differ in name but not function. For example, while certain memory components in embodiments of the invention may be distinguished as RAM, ROM, flash ROM, etc., it will be understood by those of skill in the art that these various types of memory components may be used interchangeably if they are able to provide the necessary functionality as described for the embodiment. The term server is used throughout to describe any computer system for which it may be desirable to operate a plurality thereof within a common infrastructure as described. The terms version and revision are intended to be used throughout interchangeably. No further limitation to the interpretation of claims reciting these terms is intended or implied unless such distinctions are expressly recited in those claims. In the following discussion and in the claims, the terms �including� and �comprising� are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean �including, but not limited to . . . .�
The following discussion is directed to various embodiments of the invention. Although one or more of these embodiments may be preferred, the embodiments disclosed should not be interpreted as, or otherwise be used for limiting the scope of the disclosure, including the claims, unless otherwise expressly specified herein. In addition, one skilled in the art will understand that the following description has broad application, and the discussion of any particular embodiment is meant only to be exemplary of that embodiment, and not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, including the claims, to that embodiment.
Embodiments of the invention are described herein that simplify the managing and maintaining of system ROM firmware revisions, or the revisions of other important software code, common to servers controlled through a common infrastructure. Embodiments are configurable to automatically update each of the server's current version or revision of its firmware or other software code with an image of a different version or revision of that code residing within memory belonging to the infrastructure. Embodiments are further configured to automatically update the infrastructure's image of the current version or revision of the firmware or other software code for a given server type with an image of a different version or revision of that code residing in the system memory of servers of that type. This can be useful if the server blade is shipped with a version of revision of the code which is newer than that currently stored on the infrastructure. In a further aspect of the invention, these updates are effectuated in view of a set of update rules that are pre-configurable by a user through a user interface such as a graphical user interface (GUI) and which reside in the firmware of the infrastructure. Embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative of both a blade-based system, in which the servers are individual blades that are housed in a common enclosure that is part of the infrastructure. Embodiments are also disclosed for rack-based servers where the infrastructure includes a central computer system that is coupled to the rack-based servers through a network such as a LAN or the Internet.
To update each particular server's version or revision of that server's firmware code, the user must set up the process for that individual blade. One method of performing this procedure is through a communication process with the enclosure's firmware. This is typically accomplished through a user interface (not shown) coupled to the firmware 120 residing on semi-permanent memory 110 in the enclosure 105. The new version/revision of the firmware code to which the server 140 is to be updated is typically transmitted by the enclosure's firmware 120 to the blade 140 through the blade's BMC 150. The transmitted code can be stored temporarily in the blade's RAM 170 before the blade writes the new version/revision of the code over that which is currently stored on the blade 140. System ROM 160 is typically a form of semi-permanent ROM such as flash ROM as is known to those of skill in the art. Thus, the system ROM 160 can also be flashed directly from the enclosure 105 firmware 120.
Another method of updating the blade server's version of revision of firmware code is to run a program which typically provides a user interface on the blade server itself. This program can write data directly into the ROM or flash ROM of the server with the new revision or version of the code. A reboot of the blade server is typically required for the firmware revision update to be complete. This is the standard practice currently used for updating blade server firmware.
An analogous configuration of the system of
As previously discussed, the disadvantage of the foregoing system configurations is that a manager/user must keep track of the version/revisions of the firmware code for all of the individual blades or individual rack-based servers and must implement a chosen update regime manually. As the number of servers/blades, the number of different types of servers/blades and their respective ages increase, this task can become difficult and time-consuming. Those of skill in the art will recognize that various model types of a vendor's servers can be supported together in a single enclosure, even though each system type may differ internally, particularly in its hardware configuration. Moreover, even some systems provided by different vendors may be able to operate successfully within the same enclosure notwithstanding their respective internal differences. While system vendors have provided software for their systems to aid users in facilitating this revision management process, the process remains largely non-automated.
While the foregoing configuration would simplify revision management for the servers installed in the infrastructure, it also greatly restricts the flexibility that users/managers currently enjoy in managing system code revisions. For example, a newly installed blade may require a revision of the firmware code necessary for proper operation of the blade if it has, for example, a new hardware configuration or a new stepping of its processor. If the only version of the firmware is an older revision residing on the infrastructure, this blade will not operate properly until the manager has updated its image of the firmware for that blade type to the one necessary for proper operation of the new blade. It would also be desirable for a system vendor to ship a blade with a more recent revision of the firmware than that currently residing with the infrastructure to resolve critical issues for all blades of that type installed in the infrastructure. It would be further desirable for a user/manager to use that revision to update all of the other blades from that blade's revision. Finally, requiring blades to obtain firmware code from the infrastructure would require a significant re-design of blade architecture from that currently used. For example, implementing the foregoing will require new ASIC development to support the blade server in fetching directly from storage not local to the blade server.
Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein permit automated management of the revision process, permitting the update of code versions of installed blades from the images stored on the infrastructure, as well as updating the images of the code residing with the infrastructure with newer revisions from newly installed blades where appropriate. The user/manager can implement a desired management regime by pre-configuring update rules through a user interface to the firmware of the infrastructure. Embodiments of the invention do not require any significant re-design of the existing system architecture of the servers or the infrastructure, other than the addition of code in the system firmware to handle the communication process between the infrastructure and the servers and to initiate transfers of code based on the pre-configured rules and the current revision status of the code images residing on a blade and the infrastructure.
Through the preconfigured rules, the user is able to configure a policy for when updates (in the form of upgrades/downgrades) occur and when they do not. Through appropriately established policies, the embodiments of the invention are operable to, for example, permit the updating of only the code image stored on the enclosure, and to propagate the revision to all blades of a given type installed within the infrastructure (e.g. enclosure) when they are rebooted. Thus, only the code image on the enclosure has to be updated and the blade servers can be automatically updated rather than necessitating a code image update on each individual blade.
In addition, the invention can be configured to automatically propagate a new code revision residing with a blade inserted into the enclosure to the other blades of that type within the enclosure. Through proper pre-configuration of the revision rules, embodiments of the invention can simplify the management of code revisions for users who wish to implement different policies, whether that is to always utilize the latest revisions of the code or to standardize on a particular revision.
Enclosure 305 houses a plurality of blade servers 340(1-4) that can be of various types. That is, they can be servers that have different hardware and/or firmware configurations that are able to operate together in the same infrastructure. Thus each blade type may require a different version or revision of software code (e.g. system firmware) that is associated specifically with that blade type to operate properly. Each blade 340(1-4) typically includes a system ROM 360(1-4) that is usually semi-permanent in nature, such as a flash ROM. System ROM 360(1-4) is typically used to store system firmware and other software that when executed is used to support the blade's operation.
Blades 340(1-4) also typically include a controller 350(1-4) through which communication is conducted with the infrastructure firmware 320 residing in this case with the enclosure 305. This controller can be a non-standard one that has been added to the servers 340(1-4), or as illustrated, it can be one that is commonly included in most commercially available blades and that is known to those of skill in the art as the base management controller (BMC). BMC 350(1-4) is a controller that typically is included already in commercially available blades for the purpose of performing simple handshaking functions with the enclosure firmware 320, and thus is convenient to implementing an embodiment of the invention. Finally, each blade can have RAM 370(1-4) to support system operation as well as to support the blade flashing its own system ROM 360(1-4) as will be discussed below.
Enclosure 305 Flash ROM 310 can also be used to store one or more software code images 330 a-c (e.g. system firmware) each which is a version/revision of software code for each blade type installed in the enclosure 305. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that any number of blade types may be supported constrained only by the capacity of flash ROM 310. The number of code images 330(a-c) are limited to three for simplicity of illustration only. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the number of code images supported can be expanded by compressing the code images for storage on the enclosure's flash ROM and then decompressed either before or after the image is transferred to a blade for updating purposes. Moreover, the number of blades 340(1-4) installed in the enclosure can be any number, constrained only by the number of slots available within available enclosures 305. The blades 340(1-4) shown in
The revision management process 400 begins by launching an initialization of one of the blades 340(1-4) at 410. This process begins by setting up the blade's hardware including the memory subsystem, and is known to those of skill in the art as the Power On Self Test (POST). The POST can be initiated by the blade when it is first installed and begins to boot, or it could be initiated by a user through the user interface (not shown). At 415, the initializing blade 340 transmits an indication of the current version/revision status of its code to be revision managed (e.g. system firmware) to the enclosure's firmware 320 through controller 350, along with a query as to whether a code transfer is possible between the blade 340 and the enclosure 305,
At 430, it is determined based on the current revision/version status of the enclosure's code image for the blade's type whether it supports the current hardware configuration of the blade, as well as whether the blade's current version/revision contains critical updates not included in the enclosure's version/revision and so informs the enclosure of the result. If at 435, the enclosure's version/revision does not support the blade's current hardware configuration, the blade proceeds to 452 where a decision is made whether to transfer the blade's code image to the enclosure. The blade will not allow its code image to be replaced by that of the enclosure and thus bypasses 440. This prevents the blade from accepting an update to a code revision that cannot properly support the blade's hardware configuration. If the enclosure's version/revision does support the blade's hardware, processing proceeds at 440 where it is determined, based on the exchanged version/revision status in view of the preconfigured update rules whether an update is necessary and in which direction that update should flow. A more detailed discussion of the preconfigured update rules will be presented later.
If based on the assessment at 440, the blade's version of the code is to be updated with the enclosure's version/revision, processing is transferred at 445 to 450 and the enclosure's code image is transferred by the enclosure's firmware to the blade over bus 380,
While embodiments do not require the enclosure and blade to have the ability to flash their own ROMs as described above, the ability to perform this operation allows the user to easily propagate a new code revision to all blades of the same type in the system by simply upgrading the enclosure's image of the code image for that blade type. Similar functionality can be obtained by updating the code on one particular blade, allowing that code to be copied to the enclosure (assuming appropriate configuration of the update rules), and then rebooting the other blades in the platform. This would permit the update to propagate the updated revision to all blades in the system.
In an embodiment, the pre-configurable update rules can be configured to provide a number of desirable update policies. With respect to the updating of blades from the enclosure, a first policy can be to always update the blade's system ROM with that code image stored on the enclosure unless the enclosure's code image does not support the hardware configuration of the blade. A second policy can be to only update the blade's system ROM with the enclosure's code image if the enclosure's code image is a newer version/revision than that currently stored on the blade. A third possible policy can be to always update the blade's system ROM to that code image stored on the enclosure for that blade type unless the blade's code image version/status is newer than that on the enclosure and the blade's version/revision contains a critical code fix not included in the enclosure's current version/revision. A fourth policy can be to never update the enclosure's code image to the blade. This essentially disables the invention. In an embodiment, in no case will a blade allow itself to be automatically updated to a code version/revision that does not support the hardware configuration of that blade.
In an embodiment, the pre-configurable update rules can also be configured to provide desirable update policies with respect to the updating of the code images stored on the enclosure from the blades. A first such policy can be to never upgrade the current version/revision of the enclosure's image with the current version/revision of the blade's code image. A second policy can be to upgrade the current version/revision of the enclosure's code image with a blade's current version/revision of the code image if the blade's current version/revision is newer. A third policy could be to only upgrade the enclosure's current version/revision of the code image with a current version/revision of the blade's code image if the blade's current version/revision is newer and the blade's version/revision of the code image includes a critical change not included in the enclosure's current version/revision of the code image for the blade type.
Thus, for a user whose preferred code revision management policy is to always utilize the latest code revisions, the rules would be preconfigured to provide the second policy described above for both enclosure as well as blade upgrades. For a user who prefers to standardize on a particular code revision and does not always wish to utilize the latest code revisions, the user can pre-configure the rules to provide for the first upgrade policy for both the blades as well as the enclosure as described above. A user who prefers to standardize on a particular code version/revision but wishes to obtain critical code updates can configure the policies for updating the blades and enclosure code images to the third policy described above for both. The foregoing combinations of enclosure and blade upgrade policies are the most typical. Those of skill in the art will recognize that certain other combinations of the foregoing enclosure and blade update policies are not logical. A GUI interface can be provided through the user interface to provide user options for selecting only logically appropriate combinations of the above described update policies.
Embodiments of the invention provide for automated version/revision management of software code, including system firmware, running on a plurality of servers operating within a common infrastructure. Embodiments of the invention can exploit components already common to such systems operating in the field to exchange version/revisions status information for images of the software code between an initializing server and the infrastructure. Based on the status information in view of update policies established by users through preconfigured update rules, a determination can be made whether an update from infrastructure to server, server to infrastructure or neither is to be made. If an upgrade is to be made, the code image is transmitted and then written over the previous version/revision. Embodiments can include routines to permit the infrastructure and the server to flash the updates to flash ROM parts to fully automate the process. Currently employed upgrade policies can be automated, and include safeguards to prevent problems such as downgrading code in servers that will not support the servers' hardware configuration or to eliminate critical updates found in the server's version/revision that are not reflected in the infrastructure's. Moreover, mass upgrade operations are simplified, such as propagating versions/revisions from a newly installed server to other servers within the infrastructure. Finally, maximum user flexibility is maintained in that the system permits complete control over if and when such updates are propagated, including the ability to disable the automated process completely if the user desires.

Looking for 4th of July craft ideas? Turn your leftover crafting sticks into beautiful 4th of July Wooden Stick Flags with instructions from Terri O.
- Craft sticks. These are larger in size than Popsicle sticks.
- Blue craft foam
- Acrylic paint in red, white and blue
- Brushes
- Wood stars
- 3/8 round dowels
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun. I used wood glue sticks.
- Tacky glue
- Craft mat or wax paper
- Paint 4 sticks red and 3 sticks white. Paint front, back and sides. Let dry.
- Paint stars white. Let dry. Cut dowel in half and paint blue. Let dry.
- To glue craft sticks together I set two sticks about 4 inches apart horizontally. Starting with the red stick lay it vertically across the two sticks and glue. Alternate with white and red sticks. Before you glue the last stick trim off the ends because the craft stick will be too long.
- Cut a square from the blue foam. Approximately 3x2 inches. But you may need to eyeball it and trim it.

This is a very cute idea, but the instructions (especially #3) are not very clear. I also would appreciate more specific measurements. I used balsa wood, painted blue, instead of craft foam, looked much better.

Afghanistan – No Longer The "Good War"?
Apparently not to the usual suspects.
Bill Ayers was interviewed:
Ayers had this to say about President Barack Obama committing an additional 17,000 troops to Afghanistan: "It's a mistake. It's a colossal mistake. And, you know, we've seen this happen before, Alan. We've seen a hopeful presidency, Lyndon Johnson's presidency, burn up in the furnace of war."
Ayers thereby joins the rest of the moonbat contingent:
"I'm very upset; he promised change, and this is not change. It's just going to create more deaths on both sides and create more terrorists," said Jodie Evans, co-founder of Code Pink. The group, known for protests and targeting Bush administration officials, posted a statement Thursday condemning Mr. Obama's decision and urging him to replace the combat troops with "humanitarian troops."
"Afghanistan needs troops of doctors, farmers, teachers, not more troops," the statement says.
It is apparently beyond Ms. Evan's abilities to wonder how those "troops" of doctors, farmers and teachers are supposed to do their thing when, in the absence of our troops, the countryside is controlled by the Taliban. I assume she isn't aware of the fact that the Taiban has a tendency to behead many of those she'd commit to A'stan.
Interesting though, isn't it? Now we're beginning to see that many of the supposedly "anti-Iraq" crowd, were just the usual anti-war bunch.
For Once I'd Actually Like To See Reid Be Right About Something
Sen. Harry "the SURGE has failed" Reid is again in the analysis business:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Monday that the banking industry is "very close" to being stabilized and the nation's economy is starting to rebound.
"We tend to talk about the negative. … Things are beginning to turn and I think the American people are going to feel that very soon," Reid said during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show.
Cancel the "stimulus" and cut the deficit by 789 billion.
Fiscal responsibility somewhat restored (well, except for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid).
Symbolism Over Substance
Unimpressed is a word that handily describes my reaction to the Obama cabinet to this point. For instance:
Two years ago, an effort to fix No Child Left Behind, the main federal law on public schools, provoked a grueling slugfest in Congress, leading Representative George Miller, Democrat of California, to say the law had become "the most negative brand in America."
Education Secretary Arne Duncan agrees. "Let's rebrand it," he said in an interview. "Give it a new name."
Why is the law the "most negative brand in America?" Because Democrats and teacher's unions have spent 8 years blasting a program written by Ted Kennedy (that part seems to be conveniently forgotten now) but signed by George Bush.
And their solution?
Give it a new name.
There, all fixed.
[HT: Below The Beltway]
The Shape Of Things To Come?
We touched on the fact that there are some tax protests popping up around the country in last night's podcast.
William Jacobson says:
The beginning of a protest movement against Barack Obama's redistributive policies is underway. Though still small, every movement starts somewhere. While called the "Tea Party" after the Boston Tea Party, this movement is similar to movements throughout history where the producers of society refuse to have their property and income confiscated.
We all agreed that at this particular moment the movement is mostly a creature of the right-wing. That's not to say it will stay that way, but certainly it is partly outrage over the so-called stimulus bill and partly an opportunity to engage in a little payback for the last 8 years of the left's shenanigans.
Will it gain supporters? Will it gain power? I frankly don't know at this point. But as Debra Saunders points out, if you think it is bad here, in terms of the financial crisis, you ought to be in Europe.
And what is going on in Europe? Well if the UK is any indication, things may be heating up rather quickly there:
Police are preparing for a "summer of rage" as victims of the economic downturn take to the streets to demonstrate against financial institutions, the Guardian has learned.
Britain's most senior police officer with responsibility for public order raised the spectre of a return of the riots of the 1980s, with people who have lost their jobs, homes or savings becoming "footsoldiers" in a wave of potentially violent mass protests.
Interestingly the Brits would be late-comers to the European protest movement:
In recent weeks Greek farmers have blocked roads over falling agricultural prices, a million workers in France joined demonstrations to demand greater protection for jobs and wages and Icelandic demonstrators have clashed with police in Reykjavik.
So, will the burgeoning tax-protest movement here take hold and grow?
If Europe is any indication (you know, the Europe that was supposed to be so much better off than we are according to some?), yes, it might. In fact, if, as promised, the situation here gets worse and worse, I think we can pretty much count on it.
Will it have an effect? Well that's an excellent question.
I'll ask one in return.
Have you seen the deficit?
Someone is going to have to pay for all of that.
Suddenly We Have Problems (Update)
Funny how this works, eh?
February, 2005:
Your lack of details is no surprise–an essential component of the government's PR blitz is the obscuring of details because, in fact, Social Security faces no immediate crisis. President Bush is lying to us, again.Despite the president's sky-is-falling forecasts, the system's trustees give Social Security another four decades of soundness; the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office gives it five. Many independent economists believe the program will stay healthy closer to six or seven more decades.
January of the same year:
It all sounds awful, but is it really so bad? Is there a Social Security crisis?
Most Democrats say no. They contend the president is trying to scare people into supporting his plan for drastically changing the program.
"The future is not as bleak as some people would have the public believe," says Peter Diamond, an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Social security is not bankrupt in the usual sense of the term — not going broke, not going 'flat bust.'"
But professor Diamond says, yes, in 2042, benefits will have to be cut, but retirees then would still get more money than today's retirees.
"We've got 35 or more years to phase in very slow changes that people can certainly adapt to and live with," he says.
And Medicare?
From the majority Democratic Congress of last August:
"The Medicare trigger was cooked up by Republicans behind closed doors as a political ploy to foster an unfounded panic about the strength of Medicare's finances," said Rep. Pete Stark (D, Calif.), chair of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health. "We must turn off the trigger and reject Republican attempts to arbitrarily limit Medicare financing."
Stark and other Democrats argue that Medicare's trend to require an increasingly larger portion of its funding to be in the form of general tax revenues has no bearing on the program's long-term solvency. Although Democratic lawmakers support some of the Bush bill's provisions, they take issue with his proposal to ease the drain on tax dollars in part by charging wealthier seniors more for their Medicare drug benefit premiums.
Yet what is going to happen today?
On Monday, Obama will bring together more than 130 lawmakers, heads of advocacy groups and economists in the White House State Dining Room to lay out the bad news – a federal deficit of at least $1.3 trillion, the largest as a share of the nation's economy since World War II. The fiscal summit is meant as a first volley in the battle to address runaway costs for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Runaway costs? But, but … I thought Republicans were trying to scare everyone? I thought Bush had lied? You mean they were right? My goodness, you mean that it may have been the Democrats who were being disingenuous.
Heh … that can't be so, can it?
Hope and change.
UPDATE: Apparently Democrats are still pushing the "there's nothing wrong with Social Security" meme. From the Joe Scarborough show, and interview with budget director Peter Orszag, who will be chairing today's "Fiscal Responsiblity Summit" (yes, it's okay to laugh):
JOHN HEILEMANN: Peter, it's John Heilemann from ""New York"" magazine. there's a report in ""the New York Times"" today, this goes back to a question that Joe kind of hinted at a minute ago, which is that Barack Obama considers doing a White House task force on Social Security reform to announce today and he got pushed back from Democratic leaders in the House and Senate. is that report true? Is the question of Social Security reform still on the table for you guys, how important is it?
PETER ORSZAG: Well, I want to come back to the point that was raised earlier, which is that Medicare and Medicaid are the primary drivers of our long-term fiscal problem. We want to address that first. we want to get health care done this year. Social Security is also an issue and after we've dealt with health care I think it probably does make sense to try to get Social Security on sounder ground also, but let's get the big problem fix first.
HEILEMANN: Peter, did you guys back down or not?
ORSZAG: I don't think it's constructive to get into the back and forth of discussions in, you know, in internal discussions. i think the important point is, the president is committed to addressing the largest problem that we face which is Medicare and Medicaid.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Peter, please understand, it may not be constructive, but it's an awful lot of fun. Did Nancy Pelosi tell you to back off of Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid reform?
ORSZAG: You guys are wild having fun like that. We want to get — I really want to focus on — SCARBOROUGH: Peter, it's all we got.
MIKA BREZEZINSKI: He fits the show. Answer the question, Peter. You got an answer for us?
ORSZAG: Again, Social Security is, you know, does face a long-term deficit, it does need to be addressed, but it's much smaller than the problems than Medicare and Medicaid and the health system. i think it makes sense to focus there first.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through Orszag's rather poor attempt to obfuscate the issue. Apparently they did back down. Medicare and Medicaid only remain on the table because they are a means to an end – what the Democrats like to euphemistically refer to as "health care reform". That, by the way, does not refer to making either Medicare or Medicaid more efficient, less costly or less wasteful, it instead refers to expanding both programs. That, in the era of Democratic rule is considered to be "fiscally responsible".
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Dope Of the Week
Where to start with this joker:
California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested that his party is out of touch with average Americans on the issue of health care.
"You've got to listen to the people. If the nation is screaming out loud, 'We need health care reform. We want to have universal health care. We want to have everyone insured. We want to bring the costs down. We want everyone to have access.' I mean, that's what they want; that's what you do," Schwarzenegger said on ABC's "This Week."
Arguing that California Republicans were out of touch with the majority of Californians who wanted to raise taxes to fix the state's budget crisis, Schwarzenegger said it is "the same nationwide."
He said Republicans need to embrace what the people want, even if it means accepting tax increases that go against their party principles:
"Even though it maybe is against your principles or philosophy, you still have to go, because that's what the people want you to do," he said.
A) Healthcare: the nation isn't screaming any of that out loud. A definite minority want it. But just as large a minority don't want any part of it. A third minority isn't sure one way or the other.
B) If the purpose of government is to simply give the people everything they want, then there's no reason for a budget, a legislature or a governor. Just put everything to a direct vote via referendum, write a program that can figure the cost of each "yes" referendum, figure the tax necessary to fund the approved program and assess the tax. If you must have a legislature or governor, they would only write the law and rubber stamp it based on the referendum (per the Schwarzenegger "philosophy" only unanimous approvals allowed) and the "governor" is there to do nothing more than to sign it into law – period. Once taxes reach 100% nothing else can be signed into law and the legislature is in permanent recess and the governor is no longer needed (hey I can be just as absurd as Schwarzenegger).
Oh, wait, I forgot – you have to have a governor and a legislature to pile up trillions of dollars of debt "giving the people what they want" and drive the state into bankruptcy – my bad.
C) Why have principles if you're not supposed to live by them/act on them. Why run on them, tell voters they'll be your guide and get elected because of them? Schwarzenegger has gone from a somewhat entertaining RINO to an outright idiot.
"Even though it may be against your principles or philosophy" do it anyway because that's what the people want? This guy would obviously rather be liked than principled (if he ever was really principled). Principles are a hindrance to his pursuit of approval (see what steroids will do to your brain?). And my guess is, he'd label this nonsense as "leadership".
Lord help California. Schwarzenegger makes Gray Davis look great.
With Hat In Hand …
Pretty sad when you have the Secretary of State soliciting funds for debt instruments:
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged China to keep buying US debt as she wrapped up her first overseas trip, during which she agreed to work closely with Beijing on the financial crisis.
Ms Clinton made the plea shortly before leaving China, the final stop on a four-nation Asian tour that also took her to Japan, Indonesia and South Korea, where she worked the crowds to try to restore America's standing abroad.
In Beijing, she called on authorities in Beijing to continue buying US Treasury bonds, saying it would help jumpstart the flagging US economy and stimulate imports of Chinese goods.
"By continuing to support American Treasury instruments the Chinese are recognising our interconnection. We are truly going to rise or fall together," Ms Clinton said at the US embassy here.
Of course, its absolutely necessary that China (and the rest of the world) continue to buy these bonds and fund this spending debacle or taxes will have to be raised dramatically (and not just on the 'rich') and/or more money will have to be printed. That's not to say that both of those won't be done anyway whether China continues to buy or not. My guess is it's only a matter of time. Don't forget, health care reform legislation and environmental legislation are yet to come. Both may end up taking even more out of the private side of the economy than the so-called "stimulus" did.
Signing On To The "Name And Shame" Policy
Gotta love this chutzpah:
Invoking his own name-and-shame policy, President Barack Obama warned the nation's mayors on Friday that he will "call them out" if they waste the money from his massive economic stimulus plan.
"The American people are watching," Obama told a gathering of mayors at the White House. "They need this plan to work. They expect to see the money that they've earned — they've worked so hard to earn — spent in its intended purposes without waste, without inefficiency, without fraud."
This from a guy who just signed into law the biggest waste, fraud and abuse bill ever concocted by our so-called representatives in Washington DC.
A New Voice
I'm going to let him do his own intro (kind of me, eh Jason?) but we're pleased to have Jason Pye joining QandO as one of our bloggers. Jason comes from great libertarian stock, was the former chair of the Georgia LP and was the New Media guy for the Barr campaign.
He's a freedom and liberty guy who has much in common with the rest of us.
Welcome aboard Jason.
Ah, Chu
Yup, nothing like the best qualified for the job:
Energy Secretary Steven Chu may be a Nobel laureate Ph.D. in physics, but his first forays into energy policy suggest he's a neophyte when it comes to the ways of Washington.
At a forum with reporters on Thursday, the head of the department that has traditionally taken the lead on global oil-market policy, was asked what message the Obama administration had for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at its meeting next month.
"I'm not the administration," the Cabinet secretary replied. "I will be speaking and learning more about this in order to figure out what the U.S. position should be and what the president's position is."
Chu, who is still without a deputy, said he feels "like I've been dumped into the deep end of the pool" on oil policy.
He may be a Nobel laureate, but it is obvious that he isn't at all prepared for the job of Energy Secretary. How, given his obvious lack of knowledge about oil, can he put a comprehensive energy plan together for the US? Well, he wasn't brought in to consider oil – he's going to be the "green guy". Oil, coal and other Neanderthal energy sources aren't really something he's concerned himself with. But now, he is the man.
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, huh? Knowing all of that certainly reassures you that his priorities are going to be what is best for the US and not best for the agenda, doesn't it?
