I find the computer industry, as pertaining to Microsoft "innovation" quite laughable. But the thing I find most amusing is that people buy this whole "we're Microsoft and we innovate". I don't think Redmond has come out with an original idea in, well, years. But people don't see this. It's …
more ...You know, it really irritates me that almost every single day there is a new "report" or article out about Linux security... and more often than not it's compared to Windows security. Not only has this topic been beaten to death, stomped on, kicked, buried, dug up, and beaten some …
more ...It's come to my attention that some folks seem to think I'm Theo de Raadt in disguise... that I'm somewhat volatile in email. Nope... I'm not Theo. But I do get irritated fairly easily... maybe I've got a hidden God-complex somewhere that I'm not aware of, or maybe I'm fed …

more ...Well, the wife managed to mash the Annvixmobile yesterday morning... geez, dealing with a car accident is no fun. Insurance, police reports... waiting 4hrs for a tow truck (yeah, yesterday was a great day for accidents).
Wasn't her fault at all... and no big deal.. heck, it's just a car …
more ...Well, this is my first machine moving to the new colo facility. Should be interesting. Been farting around all day getting ready for it.. it's amazing how lazy you get when the server is in the next room. Now that it's going to be 15 minutes away, I have to …
more ...Everytime I turn around I'm hearing someone say how good Ubuntu is. I've never tried it before today so I figured I'd give it a go and check it out. My first comment: not a big fan of brown. I'm not an "earthy" kinda guy (nevermind that my first character …
