Everything is a Freaking DNS problem

In Virtualization is the Future Reuven Cohen notes:

"Personally I find desktop virtualization another way to force Windows licenses down our throats. I'd rather see a shift away from desktop computing altogether."

Pretty straight to the point .. guess Bart also likes this approach :)

Tarry, there are things missing on the current LinkedIn site that you really want in a resume. The main thing that's missing is a skillset .

I used to abuse xmlresume to create my online resume and generate it in different open formats. (Never even tought about making one in that weird format you mention and most of the clueless recruiters want you to use). But nowadays my interest is heading
out too hresume as a Microformat .

Given the fact that LinkedIn now also supports hResume this really sounds like something the rest of the world might want to explore.

However they need to document this more openly as I can't seem to actually see the hResume content using Tails

Is what could be the title of a blogpost if Ian felt he was qualified for the job

ROFL :)

I totally missed out about Democracy being rebranded to Miro , so I ended up downloading the RPM from getmiro.com It totally kept crashing on me ..
while looking at the reasons and if there were updates I noticed the FC7 version at the Miro site being totally outdated when compared to what Fedora itselve already had in it's repository.
guess what .. that version works like a charm ..

Now I only need to figure out a way to integrate Miro with my MythTV box
I`m running an rsync --delete from my laptop where I`m downloading stuff to /var/lib/mythvideo
and I delete videos I've seen on my laptop via the Miro interface.
So far that beats watching video's on my laptop screen.

However .. I actually would like to be able to tag video my videos and have my MythTV box download the content by the time I get home to watch it.

Werner ?

Back in the days T-Mobile required 3 machines to do all their mail on a VMS box. Upon migrating to a product from microsoft they needed 6 long rows of racks totally filled.

So, it's actually Microsoft who is to blame for Global Warming

There is a new signature in town. The ever annoying "Please excuse my typos , mail sent from my blackberry" is now being replaced by "*Sent from my iPhone"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrr

Christophe just pointed me to Open Source Alternatives a site that allows you to find open source software alternatives to well-known commercial software .

Good tool.. but it misses a key thing.. experience .. you don't know about how big the community around a project is .. you don't know how active development around .. you only can learn that yourselve. but it's a quick pointer to new stuff .. for some people ...

Now if you could add the Ohloh database to that and integrate them..
would be nice...

Here at Profoss Kristof is just announcing that Q-Layer will be opensourcing their Q-Store and Q-San technologies

From their site

Q-SAN is a hyperfast Infiniband or Gigabit ethernet enabled virtual SAN: it is a pure software solution that has all functionalities of the common hardware-based SANs. Q-SAN is available as an option of Q-Store; it provides virtual disks to servers provisioned on top of the Q-layer platform and to external consumers over the iSCSI protocol.

Q-store is a storage and volume management solution with an easy-to-use GUI and a SOAP API that allows full automation and integration. Q-store enables storage virtualization, the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into one single device that is managed from a central console. Storage virtualization can be applied for a wide range of purposes, such as high-end database storage, backup storage, virtual disks for virtual servers etc.

openMosix is dead.. but still this is the (update)4th time in 2 days that people start discussing the idea dynamically loadbalancing virtual machine instances around on a big HPC platform.

So , is openMosix really dead ?

As Nicolas already mentionned Profoss is going steady ..
with the Panel discussion going on right now ..

I just uploaded my presentation.
