RabbitMQ – 1.5.5 Denied – 1.5.3 Rock On
No sooner had I got my RabbitMQ up and running did I find out that there wasn’t a perl module out to talk AMQP, so wrong. So google and twitter high jinx ensued and I found that there is a STOMP perl module and it seems a decent amount of people are talking STOMP with […]
Virtualization, Rails and CDNs
A few weeks ago we (not me, but my company) started work on our GoComics igoogle gadget for the release of igoogle v2. We weren’t really sure how well it was going to go over, it didn’t take long before we were suddenly at 150,000 users and we were listed along with the New York […]
Differ
In this article on Firefox3 there is this quote: “IE is the browser of choice for more people on the Web than anything else,” Hachamovitch said. “There’s an all-around quality, whether in ease of use, reliability, the security we stand by, that makes it a better choice.” I beg to differ here. IE is not […]
Application Virtualization
I’ve seen it to some degree, but I wonder when application virtualization will hit big. I can fire up VMWare now and run a load balancer or other apps from within a virtual linux box, that’s the start. Will it take long to realize maybe we should open Outlook in some sort of micro virtualized […]
Pro Curves
This last Tuesday I took some time out to head over to a HP Procurve Seminar that was going on across the street from my office. We’re moving to downtown KC this fall and we’ll be putting in a new network infrastructure and most likely a new Voip system. The Procurve switches are on our […]
Flat on your face
Tonight’s ponderance is, how long will Facebook last before it goes flat? Don’t get me wrong, I really do like Facebook and I’m very impressed by all the clicky widgetry and modules people have written. I just don’t see how Facebook will manage to support itself with advertising once it becomes yesterdays cool thing (aka […]
kulua talk
[10:08] <fwiles> Perl is 20 years old today [10:09]Â <Gedanken> It will be another 5 years old until perl 6 is released [10:09]Â <fwiles> I don’t think it’ll be that long, but I would be surprised to see a RC in 2008 honestly [10:10]Â <fwiles> but next year Perl can drink… so it’s all good […]
pegged
Once in awhile something comes through that feels like the author is writing about you. I see this occasionally with Dilbert and sometimes with XKCD but this article totally nailed me: http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2007/11/11/the_nerd_handbook.html Thanks to jediwonderboy for the notice on this one.
So today I ended up updating my Facebook entry and making it something a little bit more informative. At this point posts to my website’s wordpress will get shot out to livejournal and picked as a feed for Facebook, if everything is working correctly. There’s also that LinkedIn account hanging around out there and the […]
Backups my person daemon
I swear that backups are the bane of my existence. There are about 900 other projects on the board to get done but the backup system just keeps deciding to throw something new at me every week. Right now I’ve got a new DL380 G4 chassis running with BackupExec and a Spectra T50 Tape Library […]
