  1. If you sing to them will the latency decrease? on Why Not To Shout At Your Disk Array · · Score: 1

    I think that this discovery is just the beginning of a new and harmonious spiritual relationship between man and machine. Just imagine, DC engineers across the world singing beautiful harmonies to their storage arrays!!

    Wonderful. ;-)

  2. NASA were giving it away long before Google... on Google Earth and "Collateral Damage" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Has nobody heard of WorldWind from NASA. They were publishing similar data way before Google got on board...

    http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

    First release August 2004!

    Perhaps NASA could be doing more to prevent...

  3. Wookies doing TARZAN impressions?!? NOOOOOOOOOO!!! on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I couldn't believe it... they actually made a wookie do a Tarzan call on the way into battle!!! SOooo WRONG!

    It made me wanna shout NOOOOOOOO!! in the cinema hall just like Anakin does when he's told he killed Padme and Luke does in the "you're not my father scene". Okay so I got it off my chest.

    NOOOOOOooooooooo

  4. Re:Want less stress? Work for non-IT companies. on Appreciating Your Stressful IT Job? · · Score: 1

    Yo're absolutely right dude... I just recommended meditation below... but if I reflect... it's 3 months since I left the ISP industry (was working for what's left of PSINet in Europe) and wow... I'm now working in manufacturing looking after HP boxes.. it's *so* much less stressed and there's hardly any call-out too!

    The non-IT industries also *need* more good techies (IMHO)....

  5. Meditation works very well for me... but....... on Appreciating Your Stressful IT Job? · · Score: 1

    There's a lot of meditation techniques, books, teachers and blah-blah out there. All you need is 15-20 minutes in the morning and evening. Your working life will transform (so will all the other parts of your life!!)

    What I practise is called Sahaja Yoga . I've been enjoying it for over 10 years now and it just gets better all the time. Simple, very effective technique... try it... and let us know in a few weeks if it made a difference.

  6. Not really... you'll miss most of the conference. on Is SAIR Certification Worthwhile? · · Score: 3

    Of course everybody has a different experience of things... but... I tried it out at the San Jose LinuxWorld in August and to be quite honest it's not worth missing all the keynotes and cool talks. The training is not *before* and not *after* the conference, it's during! I was really pissed off about afterwards and when I go next August to SF I'll just stick to the conference.

    It *is* a great way get your boss to send you to a cool conference, but I'd actually go for the standard paid-for course and come up with a different reason for your company to send you (cos there are plenty)...

    I've been geeking with Linux since about mid '97 ish and am totally self taught. It was quite hard to get into the SAIR style and every training comapany definitely has their very own style of questions. Occasionally they trick you into thinking you don't know the answer by phrasing it in a completely nonsensical way, when if they'd asked you straight you'd've got it no problem.

    In short... my advice is go to LinuxWorld and enjoy it but do the training seperately.

    My two rubels.
