After a lot of trouble with one of the Maxtor hard drives in my RAID array I decided it was better to get a new hard drive. I was really getting annoyed with all the failed RAID array verifications. This time I made sure it was an enterprise class hard drive. Maxtor is of course out of the picture; their quality is just not good enough. Three disk failures in the last two years confirm this.
It al started back in 1995 when I was counting down for defending my PhD Thesis. Working on HPUX I modified XDaliclock, a C program for the X windows system to countdown in seconds to the moment supreme. Ever since that time I have been using a countdown timer whenever I am going to switch jobs. It has been modernized a little over time and is now a Java applet (Edit: 2011, and now implemented using jQuery), but the principle is the same.
The countdown timer has become a tradition or even a ritual that I cannot do without. It is like a public statement that I am going to start something new very soon, which is so important that it is worth counting down to in seconds.
