Spectra Logic 2000?

Spectra Logic 2000

Today at work I got a call from our Network Administrator asking me to ‘cycle the power’ on the Spectra Logic 2000. Needless to say I was taken aback by this request. I’ve dealt with an AS400 which I always thought was the most powerful computer ever designed by man, but today I discovered how wrong I was.

Anything named the Spectra Logic 2000 must be control something on the scale of Missle Defense for the Soviet Union. You would expect something as powerful as the Spectra Logic 2000 to have been destoyed by MI6 long ago. We’ll you’d be wrong, instead the Spectra Logic is plugging along at my work.

*Side Note:

To ‘cycle the power’ on the Spectra Logic 2000, you don’t press a button or flip a switch, no, you pull a lever.

The Soviets wouldn’t have it any other way.

Last night Julie and I sat behind Richard Gere and his family at The Who concert. He’s really not too much to write home about as you will see in the photos below he’s really started to Rock the Mullet. In addition to sitting behind the Gere’s we also sat behind three middle aged men who were passing a blunt the entire night. It took us a while to figure out where the smoke was coming from since we were pretty much sorrounded by people over the age of 50.

The concret was pretty good, there were some sound issues with Roger Daltrey’s vocals but everything else sounded really good. Bascially we got to see The Who play Baba O’Reilly live and it doesn’t get much better than that. Oh, and Pete Townsend is a Jukebox Hero.

Tonight Julie and I went to Central Park to see Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals. We got there early enough to hear the opener, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, finish their set which was peferect timing considering that’s when everyone hits the beer stand. We were able to move up to about 10 feet from the stage to see Ben Harper.

The show was one of the better one’s I’ve seen this summer considering they even did a cover of Neil Young’s Heart of Gold. Also, the opener Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and his band came on stage during the set and played Get Up Stand up which was really good. Ben finished the night with an acoustic set that included some crazy guitar stuff that I can’t even begin to describe.
