Things to do while waiting for a 0.5TB SCSI SAN over 1Gb FC to format

Let me explain the title first for people who might not be quite the server geek.
0.5TB=500GB (Think big hard drive)
SCSI=Small Computing Standard Interface (This is a type of connection for a hard drive, most commonly seen in server applications)
SAN=Storage Area Network (This is a private network for intercommunication between servers and their storage devices)
1Gb=1 Gigabit (This is a measure of speed, for a network connection 1Gb is pretty fast, for a storage device it is on the slow end)
FC=Fiber Channel (This is a type of network connection using fiber optics)

Ok here is a list of things to do while you wait for this very long process to complete, most of these things have been tested to be appropriate time wasters for waiting on your SAN to format.

• Play 1024 games of solitare
• Read all of a new web comic
• Play 1048576 games of minesweeper
• Stare at your lame matrix screen saver so long yours eyes bleed
• Get your hands dusty while helping repair a co-workers personal computer. (Either because they are nice/cute or because you can't come up with a creative way to tell them that you would rather get your testicles ran over by an ice cream truck
• Write this blog entry
• Write some other blog entry
• Start writing random things in this blog entry because you are running out of ideas
• Create a drive image of a computer that the client is having to send back for repairs
• Remote into the machine that is next to you to copy pictures off of a floppy disk, because you disconnected the mouse to use on the computer that you are making a drive image for
• Walk randomly around the halls at your office quacking at anyone you pass
• Work on tweaking out your level 7 Gestalt Dungeons and Dragons character so that you have the most broken combat monster ever without even taking any levels of Swashbuckler.
  
• Calculate the remaining time of the format by timing how long it takes to complete 1% then multiply by 100, do this 5 times to make sure that you don't have an anomaly and then be saddened because you still have several hours to wait

And once you have done all of this go ahead and do it all 1 more time since you have checked and noticed that you are only 50% done with the format.

Well I think that is enough ideas for this topic. If you have any new ones feel free to put them in a comment to this post.

Good day and happy geeking,
