I ran across these on a forum recently. I thought they were funny. Your mileage may vary.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don’t.
Q: Why do geeks confuse Christmas and Halloween?
A: Because 31 OCT = 25 DEC
I was not really sure what Web 2.0 was all about until I read this essay by Paul Graham. Being a term that didn’t really have meaning, and I guess still doesn’t, shows that we can be clouded by our own attempts to identify something. He’s got a lot of good points [...]
Yesterday I was on a live Microsoft webcast for Virtual Server 2005 R2. We had just reached the Q&A section where I asked a question about comparing the Windows Hypervisor to the Xen Hypervisor. (topic for another post) They guy just started to answer my question when my power went out (brown [...]
I had a network problem where inbound network traffic to my server was terribly slow. Outbound seemed at bit more realistic so I was trying to figure out what was causing the slow down. As I was searching for answers I ran across this little tidbit. With a single registry change you [...]
I’ve been doing a little research into running dual CPUs for my Xen@Home project. The system has been running for over a year now on WinXP without any issues. I did notice that the ’stepping’ is different on the two CPUs so I’m just double checking so things don’t get screwy later on. [...]

I use del.icio.us for keeping track of my bookmarks. This is something that I was introduced to recently and it has proven to be a ‘useful engine’. Not only does it keep track of what I find useful on the web, I can also browse through bookmarks for people that bookmarked the same [...]
I am embarking on a project to virtualize the servers and services that I use for my home network. Keeping in line with my decision to use low cost/no cost alternatives, I will be using Xen as the virtualization platform. I have no idea if this is going to work so I’ll just consider [...]
Another Slashdot article caught my eye. CRAY is going to use Opteron chips in their supercomputers. It’s nice to see AMD being used in more places and this adds to the validity of AMD for high-end uses. Maybe one day Dell will sell “AMD Inside”. For now (recently) they just sell [...]
I’ve thought about this for some time now and decided I should just do it. With Site5 making things easy enough to set up, why not. Please move along, there is nothing to see here.
