    My Google Glass edition has arrived! (Pictures)

    Glass seems cool, and I am sure there are useful apps that will be developed for it and it will be useful to it's users. Personally I am not a fan of the wearable computing craze that is happening today. There has to be a point where you say to yourself,  "do I really need all these devices?"...

    Red Hat, Inc Aquires CentOS

    I am skeptical of this deal and the future of Centos. Just last month, I was thinking to myself "is centos still moving forward or are they on the edge of dying"(this deal answered that question). I myself will most likely start to move more(40% centos now) towards Debian based distro's and also...

    04Jan Outage

    I always use Tripplite heavy-duty cable when I power up a server that has "PC" size cords that came with it(paranoid about losing power supplies). Most time when I pull something from Ebay and it comes with a power cord, the cord looks like it's for a regular pc; recently bought a new HP DL360...

    How to check dns propagation

    I just use dig -- so if I am changing an A record, I will change the record, then ask the name server I just changed if it has seen the change. dig test-record.domain.com A @ns1.test-dns-servers.com If that looks good,then I will ask some providers like the 4.x.x.x and goog, to see if they...

    CI & Deployment System

    We used hudson for awhile at a job - otherwise, haven't done too much CI with other projects, wish I could assist more. Just remembered -- we were looking at switching to Jenkins, after fussing with some strange Hudson stuff(once I saw the site I remembered) :)

    Do You Tweet?

    I was an early adopter, but I don't tweet anymore;  if I hop on the wagon again I will say hello to you all.

    FAPVPS - Single Core KVM 12GB RAID 10 or 5G SSD RAID 1 $28/year

    Got one of these, and I am pretty happy with the performance. To be honest, I was not sure if I should try with another instance out of that data center, as the routing had been...well, pretty crappy in the past with other providers in the building. These days, it looks like the network blend...

    Louisville, Kentucky VPS?

    Company that I worked with used Peak10 data center and didn't have any big issues. Most of the issues we had were coming from Insight Comm(pretty sure, cant remember another name), where a distro center was connected to their network. We frequently had latency or complete loss through that line...

    Email services - your opinion?

    I run my mail off a vps these days, migrating away from gmail. Personally, I like to run my own stuff, and did so prior to gmail, so now I a just going back to my old ways I guess, and I like my domain name better :)

    If you weren't working in this industry, what would you rather be doing?

    I wanted to be postman when I was 7 years old -- mom gave me the "low down" on the postal service around that time and changed my mind.

    If you weren't working in this industry, what would you rather be doing?

    I would love to be a farmer also -- it's something that my family(couple generations both sides) has been doing for a long time, and it makes me very happy. I would never be able to support myself and family as a farmer, but it's something I have wanted to do -- these days, I pretend to be a...

    BuyVM announces free backups for all 256MB+ OpenVZ plans!

    Seriously, ZFS and dedup is super memory intensive -- with only 10tb raw, a 16gb/dual L5420 machine is miserable(maybe a few hundred free mbs). No dedup, and the machine has 6-7gb free most times.

    Digital currency "mining" process names

    Not everyone is "so clever" though -- some people get lazy and just do the default stuff, or are new and are gonna use whatever it's called, and not make scripts that run it, etc. I would say it's a good "blanket" approach to catch the low hanging fruit, and the monitoring system/sniffiing will...

    Best Linux OS for desktop use?

    Ubuntu latest mostly on the desktop here, with Mint being my old favorite, and Crunchbang(before they switched base). I think I will try Crunchbang again, as it was so light and stable. Fedora always seems to bomb out on me at some point, so I stopped using it on the desktop.
