    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Found an Angelfire page full of AOL Punters that still exists.  Course all the links are dead, but reading the descriptions, the names of some of these things.  Ahh, I got a little nostalgic.  Progs!  Proggies!  When you could send random people IMs with 12 spaces and the word "bye" and their...

    A Detailed Comparison of Virtualization Solutions -- Oh, and VZ7 probably won't support SimFS and re

    +1 to @Francisco for passing this along to me. A few days ago OpenVZ published this really nifty and surprisingly detailed comparison of commonly used virtualization platforms.  Prior to this. neither of us really knew if SimFS would accompany us to Virtuozzo 7 or not,, as it's currently "not...

    My 2nd cousin Jimmy just turned 15.  His parents have always been heavy on the parental controls, up to around age 14 at least (I know).  Anyhow, I get the feeling he's finally started trying to troll for the forbidden fruit. Last week I had to show him how to kill Safe Eyes so he could...

    True, but for me it's the bedroom.  Not a fan of hotel beds or imagining people who used to to conceive some demon spawn before I got anywhere near the thing.   Camping ... that I get.  A couple years ago I spent three days at the Columbia River Gorge for a DMB concert and the next three days...

    A friend of mine had the whole Tom Waits thing going on for a while. Put a fedora on the dude and it's pretty damn close.  Funny thing, though. He sounds exactly like Joe Cocker.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    It's like this.  I had a coworker/friend at the Kroger Western NOC when I was there in my 20s... we'd hang out after work, drink coffee, go out for a beer or something.  Then I got promoted to a level 3 analyst, he was passed over but got his spot the second time around.  A few months later I...
