  1. awesome for anyone who likes data viz... or has a name everyonehasaname.com
  2. from a performance expert: "vtune is less 'panicky' than systemtap"
  3. open-source electronics prototyping; damned cool, and at the maker faire this weekend arduino.cc
  4. @Chris_Mellor the video reminds me of the old netapp gem bit.ly/K7apQR
  5. @Chris_Mellor make some predictions! Who will win / who will lose?
  6. @JamiesonBecker worse: everything works with debug flags on
  7. @atm you don't think "turkey calls" referred to "telephone communication with my son"?
  8. @JamiesonBecker the more code you fix, the less code you have to fix.
  9. The only way I can use dtrace(1M) is to open dt_options.c and dt_open.c -- maybe this means the docs need updating?
  10. .@LarryLawnmower all the reimplementations of the pgrep "API" had better watch out!
  11. nohup -p on AIX -- hey, good idea! ibm.com/developerworks…
  12. @bcantrill mix in DJ BC's Beastles to span generations
  13. "yippee yo, you know this kid?"
  14. git subtree! #ftw (I'm such a git weenie) github.com/gitster/git/co…
  15. @bcantrill yeah, it's in my lexicon -- but I think only those who you and mws brought into the mdb priesthood know about it
  16. @xcbsmith "if the reader thinks s/he *has* to use a different OS [demand a doc of that vendor]" -- we get it, Red Hat is the best
  17. @xcbsmith you got it!
