Less than 1 week till ZooCamp, you know .. Barcamp Antwerp 2, but then in the Antwerp Zoo.

I`m not a big user of docs.google.com , but occasionally I use it sharing a public document to work on with friends or collegues.
So we have this spreadsheet we’re sharing with some family and friends to swap Disney stickers. Google Docs has the option to publish that document publicly as html for others to view.
So I tried , and it generated me a very nice url

My sleepy eye catched the A1:C300 ending part .. which was generated by the friendly popup that asked me if I wanted to show all Sheets, or just a range of the page.
Today I lost a machine, a physical one, I couldn’t find it back in my rack anymore. One moment I was logged on to it, and when I instructed it to boot off the network again for a fresh installation I couldn’t find it back anymore, it was gone.
When you have different ad hoc build development environments, you often grab whatever hardware is available to add to your pool and hope it doesn’t kick you back, time always works against you when you have to build a fresh platform from a pool of hardware ready to be reused.
But I won’t become a paid subscriber when they close down access for some countries
Last.fm is awesome .. it learned about my music habits, and it got really good at streaming me My Music, yes.. you read that correctly .. about 85% of the music it sends to my rhythmbox also lives in /home/MyMusic , that’s like the CD’s I bought and ripped to play anywhere I go.. I already paid for those, so why would I want to pay for them again ?
There seem to be different repeating topics within the Open Source and Geek community.
Koen did a good job explaining how the Great Belgian Firewall reall can’t be solved using DNS tricks.
And Giuseppe tackles the ever recurring Sushi. It has to be said … Geeks love Sushi and not just the MySQl geeks , every conference we go to we try to squeeze in at least 1 Sushi visit.. sometimes more ….. Nurenberg, Manchester, Cambridge, Ottawa , … and there’s more to come .. :)
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post titled Dear IBM , I was too late .. I was on holliday last week when people started sending me text messages , such as .. “Game Over MySQL , Long live Ingress” or “No Eclipse for IBM”, etc …
I had ideas regarding the future of certain Sun products at IBM, now the game has changed .. it’ss how they will live on at Oracle :)
Sometimes you have to step out of line to get a message through just write a viewpoint down in totally black, ignoring the white parts.
Earlier examples of these tricks were my rants on raid :)
The original work title of the Virtualization.com post actually was “VMWare, the New Microsoft, they gave us point and click and no clue for the user” But I selfmoderated that down to a more gentle title, not attacking a vendor :)
Armijn asked me to spread the news about the upcoming NLUUG Voorjaarsconference that will as usually take place in EDE.
Every bit counts. From a single byte to billions of images, from one line of text to a gigantic tangled semantic web of documents, from clay tablets to 3D holographic memory, storage and the means to organize storage have always been important to humanity. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes, it was said; a sailboat crossing the Atlantic still manages rates of a little over 1GB/s end-to-end.\
