Hiya. Here's my wiki; I also blog at adminfoo.net and have a set of quuxutils. New for 2008, I've started a tumbleblog. Which is really a way of saying it's a sort of web scrapbook for quick jots and scribbles.
This wiki is an informal sort of doodling space. Don't expect fully-formed thoughts; what you find here is apt to be in progress, unfinished, or even abandoned. Feel free to use the comment link at bottom of each page, or email me, if you'd like more info on anything found here.
The WMIC Snippets page has recently started to gain popularity among sysadmins.
I used to keep maps of my travels here. Changes in how Zoho presents the page made that a bit unwieldy, so I have moved them to a page of their own.
Stuff I have recently found interesting
- How to be a Programmer: A Short, Comprehensive, and Personal Summary. With a title like that, it's bound to suck, right? Wrong! Even if you have no designs on being a programmer ever, this little paper is chock-full of awesome and pithy advice on how to be part of any technical team. A must-read!
- Some thoughts about a really small life server
- This InfoPad concept is precisely what I would like to have as a mobile device. The author really lays out the whole case, down to market specifics. Quick summary - e-ink is the way to go; forget text recognition until it really works 100% (it doesn't, yet). Keep it simple. The goal is really to duplicate only the functionality of a paper notepad, with perhaps the ability to 'paste in' some lightweight apps from the computer, and to be able to export your e-ink to other computers. And maybe make text 'mostly searchable'.
- The Irex Iliad is currently the next-best alternative to the InfoPad.
- But it costs too much, so I have a Kindle (v1). And I love it, though I am already bumping my nose against the limited number of e-books available in genres I like.
