CentOS, Red Hat, and the such…

So I don’t really care for CentOS. It’s a project the builds binary packages from the source provided by Red Hat as part of RHEL (That would be Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and then gives them out for free. Great concept. But it’s distributing Red Hat, and the Red Hat folks don’t even like them. […]

Geeks vs Business

Now, I’m not going to go straight to the personal attacks I have to level against Mr. Enderle. I’m going to save those for later. And I’m not going to bother debunking his 5 points; there are more than enough people commenting very effectively on that subject on his blog.

No, instead, I’m going to look at who is taking which view in this debate.

And the thing that really struck me as interesting in the whole discussion was the constant battle betweek geeks and business.

[…]

Saddam Hussein Executed

Saddam Hussein has been tried, found guilty, and executed for crimes against humanity. While I believe that, the validity of the trial notwithstanding, he is certainly guilty, I must say that the use of the death penalty is a step in the wrong direction. The Iraqi people have handed down their harshest sentence as a […]

What a small world…

So I was just checking out the Meeblog (from the folks who bring us Meebo) and I saw the coolest thing! A near-real-time (15 minute delay) map of meebo traffic showing how many people are using Meebo from which parts of the world. It’s really very informative. I was amazed at just how connected different […]
