barnson.org Half-baked opinions, served lukewarm.

It's been too long since I've been too loud
Since I've showed you how to rock the crowd
Movin' the masses with my lyrical wordplay
Wasting your day setting your iPod to replay
My songs over and over and over some more
I invade your ears like you're an aural whore
My name is Weed, the microphone's my bitch
Never smoked up but the names's no glitch

So Dell contacted us a few weeks back and told us they would love to remote into our MD3000i Storage Array (hereby referring to as the "SAN") and update its firmware.

Sure, we told Dell. Love to have ya!

So some scheduling took place, and emails were sent notifying of downtimes, and backups were made, and they day came and Dell updated our firmware.

So the Wife o'Weed has received an iPhone 3G. I'm sure I'll answer this question as I play with it, but why would I need to jailbreak it? What apps or features would I need that Apple doesn't allow?

Any advice or recommendations are welcome

Thanks
Weed

So I'm doing laundry this weekend, and I'm washing to whites. I grab the Clorox bleach and put it in. While this may be the 100th or 1000th time I've done this, for some reason I notice the "kills 99.9% of known germs" on the label.

Say Congratulations to the new IT Manager at Tiny-But-Growing-Corp!

I feel dumber already ;)

This song is over 2 years old, but I wonder how many of you saw the video. I keep watching it every so often just because of its wonderful homage to Spinal Tap. It's hilarious.

For today's Blast From The Past, I give you the video to Korn's Twisted Transistor.

So I had to shut down one of my ESX 3.5 virtual machines today, to remove a virtual NIC that wasn't necessary anymore. When I went to start it up, I get an internal error. So I look in the logs, and see that ESX is claiming my license has expired. Well, it hasn't, so off to the VMWare site I go.

So John McCain, whom I will now refer to as the "Greater Of Two Evils", launched an attack ad at Barrack Obama...Huh? Wassat? No, Ms Coulter, I will NOT address him as B. Hussein Osama. Go hang out at Fox News or something...

Matthew,

I have a process on Fedora 8, let's call it sslexplorer (namely because that's what it is.) I want to run a cron job every five minutes to make sure it's running.

I type in crontab -e
*/5 * * * * "/etc/init.d/sslexplorer start" >/dev/null 2>&1

Is this correct? Are my quotes needed? Should I write a script that queries sslexplorer status and only starts it if it's stopped?

So we finished the basement recently. One big family room, a gym, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Carpet in all but the bathroom and half the big family room, where we had linoleum and laminate, respectively.

In the family room, we put a kitchenette, replete with granite countertops, refrigerator, sink, cabinets, etc. Everything but a range.
