Yes I know I am wierd!

Ok, I just came to a realization tonight when I went to the grocery store. I was listening to TWIT podcast and when I turned off the engine, I thought “Why didn’t I take it into the store with me and listed to the rest of the episode?”

Then I realized that I never listen to my Ipod unless I am riding. I always plug it into a device. At home it’s an IHome, in the car it’s my alpine stereo, and at work it’s the Altec Lansing portable speakers.

I wonder why I even bought headphones.

It slices, it dices, it plays mp3’s

Now this is one of those things I might actually go out and buy. It beats the other one I bought with the pen light.

I don’t think the s.beat MP3 will replace my huntsman anytime soon, but it’s really cool looking.

Hopefully they will update their english version of the site, so I can actually read the site.

All roads lead to nethack!

So I learned about the new Sun T1000 systems today. This is a single socked 8 core system, each core has 4 threads. A lot of tech speak for a 32 processor system at the price if a dual.

So I asked… “How long will it take to compile Nethack on this system?”

The answer “34 seconds”! Now that’s fast.

Just because I can!

I got RHEL 4 installed on my dual opterons today.
I am also running VMware GSX. It’s now FREE!

So after spending time getting things configured, I can now run remote desktop from my mac, and connect to the Windows XP professional instsance running on top of Linux.

Now how cool is that? Why do you ask did I do this? I need to get rid of all my extra hardware. This will allow me to replace three machiens with one. Should cut down on power, space and headaches.
