  Nostalgia for childhood’s movies Uncategorized | (0)

  I am a product of the 80s and early 90s. This includes movies of that great period. It has been a long time since I have seen some of them but I remember them all with at least a little bit of fondness. I recently stumbled across Good Bad Flicks, the sitename speaks for itself. Here are a list and links to a few of movies the site helped me rediscover. Note bene: not all of these are from my childhood, but I haven't seen them in a long time. WARNING: Each review, while also filled with trivia and info, includes ...

  Burgh’ers, BRGRs, and more burgers. Uncategorized | (0)

  Due to some alignment of heavenly bodies, I have found myself enjoying the culinary delights of a few various purveyors of the hamburger. A singular invention, it is served at five star restaurants, practically every diner in the US, and at backyard barbecues. I wanted to collect my thoughts on the three restaurants that I found myself eating at in the not so distant past. I do this so in the future when I can't remember whose burger was better, I have a record. Continue Reading...

  Privacy VS. Exposure Uncategorized | (0)

  I recently locked myself out of my own blog. I could not for the life of me remember my password. It took numerous tries to get in. After the gawker password fiasco, I went around changing my password on every account I could remember. Unfortunately it seems that I have a predilection for signing up for everything on the internet. I have accounts I signed up for, used once, and promptly forgot. Another revelation is that many many websites do not have an automated way to cancel or delete accounts. NIN.com requires you post in a forum thread to have your account ...

  A note of frequency Uncategorized | (0)

  I have had blogs in the past where I updated quiet frequently, this is not going to be one of them. I did not start this blog to attract a large audience or pander to family or friends. It is basically here for me. If you find it helpful, good.

  Datacenters in Iceland Uncategorized | (0)

  Slashdot.org recently had a post about Iceland getting seed money to start a datacenter initiative. And while you might think that Iceland would be a great place for datacenter due to its cheap power and cold temperatures, it is not that simple. Previous Article: Iceland Woes Data Centers as Power Costs Soar New Article: Iceland's Data Center Push Finally Gets Traction Powering a server takes electricity and for every watt used to crunch numbers more has to be used for cooling. So the total power used to run a server is actually equal to the energy to power it and the energy to ...

  An Awesome Pair of Pants Uncategorized | (0)

  I have the habit of wearing my clothing until they literally come apart at the seams. My younger brother rarely got hand-me-downs because of this. I usually head over to the local target and buy a pair of $15 jeans that hopefully last a couple months. My job does not have me outdoors or doing construction, but datacenters can get awfully dirty and I do my fair share of climbing on equipment and getting on the floor installing servers. It turns out that there is something that is more awesome than denim, and you probably walk by it daily. This magic ...

  A friend of min, Kim, has a great walkthrough / tutorial on how to use an SSH connection as a proxy. This is my favorite way to setup a quick and easy VPN to my home network. http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/proxy-through-ssh/
