I'm trying greatly to resist the urge to buy new gear. Of course, the Xeon Phi coprocessor card arrived and nothing is ever as simple as plugging something in and having it work. Not in my world.

I'm sitting here listening to #fourguitarslive and have booted up the old Xeon Dell #T3500 instead. Maybe I can fool with that a bit. I never installed that Nvidia Tesla card I bought either.

The two $10 100Gb NICs are sitting in my cart. Maybe I don't need them. I can always buy them later, right?
