Zero Hour
Monday, January 29, 2007


Bill Gates is tonight's guest on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows Vista is going live tomorrow, and my world is about to change. I generally avoid writing about work in this forum, but in this case it's unavoidable.

First let me say that I'm not a hater; Uncle Bill puts food on my table after all. But Vista is going to drop like a bomb and I'm going to have to pick up the pieces, so please forgive me for having already installed Ubuntu on my media server.

I'll be posting some more of my thoughts on the Vista launch and the aftermath soon. Keep Watching!

Good Stuff All Around
Wednesday, February 15, 2006

Had a corporate training today.

I've never thought myself the type to say it, but it was mostly painless. In fact I actually enjoyed it. I do have some feed back for the higher-ups, but that's neither here nor there.

At the moment I'm listening to dj BC's first and second (.torrent) Beastles albums via boing boing while trying to fine tune an install of Ubuntu on an old POS P3 box. Sweet beyond words. The music and lyrics are a confluence of ideas that approach an ideal conversation that I never quite reached with my father. I would like to think that we could have listened to this together and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Maybe his grandchildren will appreciate the sentiment if not the execution.

Here's hoping.
