Our green home in Calgary, Canada

On: Solar Power Eliminates Utility Bills in U.S. Home

Hi all,

My wife and I have been building a green, eco-friendly home in the heart of oil-city Canada - Calgary, Alberta. We have been blogging about our experiences at ramsayhome.com. We have had quite the experience so far...we had to fire our first contractor, dismantle some of the work, continue with a new contractor, etc. Everything is back on-track though and we will be posting some new pictures this weekend.

I'm in Banff, Alberta, Canada and the power just came back on here as well. The spread of the outage was amazing!

Virtual Machines

On: UNIX Process Cryogenics?

This might be completely wrong, but couldn't you use something like vmware and 'suspend virtual machine'.

I'm pretty sure that when you started up your virtual machine, your program would still be running.

I think that this is one of the more interesting posts that I have found.
