Private Clouds

CIO has a rather interesting article out about private clouds and what they require to be successful. The article comes in two parts, of which the second is more related to what I’m specifically working with.

TJHSST Students Raise $56K for Installation of Solar Panels

Congrats guys! Hope this helps to lower solar panel prices for all, and shows other schools and businesses that solar power can be done. The solar power information from the panels at TJ can be found here. FCPS article after the break:

TJHSST Students Raise $56K for Installation of Solar Panels

Students at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) have raised $56,000 to fund the installation of 22 high-efficiency solar panels on the school's roof, which are estimated to prevent nearly 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere each year.

Hello Old Friend

I realize I haven’t updated this in a while, but I wanted to provide a brief post on what’s been up. I officially accepted admission to Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) two days ago, and I’m getting my computer account set up, as well as straightening out housing, financial stuff, transportation, and scheduling. I’ve also been discerning what my summer will be looking like. Hopefully if everything turns out right, I’ll be working at Sun Microsystems building a stand-alone “cloud computing” service, consisting of the software and hardware needed to provide centralized services to companies, educational facilities, governmental organizations, etc.

Hopefully I’ll be typing up my notes from the Russia trip that we took over spring break. I have a few pages that are in note form, so I should have plenty to write about for a bit. When those are done, I’ll probably already be half way through the summer and blogging from Sun!
