      You're job description includes talking to people on web forums now doesn't it? Also, when do you stop drinking?

      Fly, Drink, Talk. There you go.

      No, hanging out on web forums is not my job.
      I actually didn't drink that much this weekend (was too hot, working on the beach house).

      My day job involves...

      1. Flying to conferences and speaking. I have 11 conference presentations in the next 4 weeks. Crowd size is 200-800.

      2. Flying to fun places and meeting with people. I'll be in India soon meeting with Customers, Partners, and SE's training them and taking questions, and collecting feedback for engineering.

      3. Breaking things. I technically am classified as a R&D employee and have full access to our nightly builds, our BAT private cloud, and a dozen "Fully loaded" servers for a lab. I test the new stuff, send feedback through my customer [0] Team, and meet with engineers to capture the subtitles of what's coming out. I don't write the technical publications (core documentation), but I do draft thousands upon thousands of words for design and sizing and usage guides, blogs.

      4. I host a podcast for the lols.

        That RAID tho. 5 drives in a 0 seems to be the magic number for this controller.

          In RAID 0? That makes sense there are no penalties (aside from reliability) and all the performance of all the drives.

            @coliver Indeed, but what's interesting is how 5 drives specifically beat other quantities of the same drive in Raid 0 on the same hardware from my earlier posts ( can't link to them because Mango Lassi has been freaking out on me and doing weird stuff including not rendering the images as I scroll ).
