Took the LAS to SFO to SEA flight today with Virgin America. I have to say it was the best experience flying in a long ever. First leg was in a window seat in coach and I have to say the leg room was amazing. At least 10" from my knee to the seat in front of me. The inflight entertainment system, Red, is really full of good content. I didn't even bother keeping my iPhone on. I was able to create a playlist of songs from Foo Fighter and Orbital. The next leg was in first class. I was able to upgrade the night before for $50. OMG I swear first class comes equipped with a time accelorator. The 2 hour flight felt like it was only an hour. I have to say that if Virgin America can score more legs they will dominate the cattle car class of airlines.

Once again I am off to Seattle to partake in the madness that is the Penny Arcade Expo. I was going to do the same trek I did last year with the West Coast Train Trip but unfortunately my cohort in the trek had to back out. This year I will be traveling on the dork planes from Virgin America both there and back again. I have to give it to Virgin America, I was going to be in a middle seat but their First Class upgrade was only $50. Hell if I am going to pass that up. Last time I was in First Class was a kid on a standby ticket with the family. I hope to get some Fallout 3 action and I might try and find my way into a DnD 4e game. I'll definitely be in for the concerts with Jonathan Coulton, Anamanaguchi, and Freezepop. It's too bad the first night concerts are during the movie, The Gamers:Dorkness Risin.I want to see that but at least it is on Netflix now. I'll be posting pictures and updates during the week.

I got my hands on a new Dell PowerEdge 1900 and I will be running ESXi on it. I plan on virtualizing about 10 servers on the thing. The list so far is;

• Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller. (DNS, DHCP, AD)
• SQL Server 2008
• SQL Server 2008 SSAS Data warehouse
• SQL Server 2008 SSRS, SSIS
• IIS 7, FTP
• Sharepoint Services 3.0 SP2
• System Center: Operations Manager
• Windows Server 2008 Cluster
• Development Server with Visual Studio 2008

I'll be busy for a while I surmise.
