  1. @Mindez mount the FTP resource on sshfs?
  2. @vvuksan it's more the config files. There's no gain in me re-doing my mail config for Postfix (or Exim for that matter). It's already done!
  3. Just as well I put all that horrible Sendmail config in Puppet, as my brain swaps out Sendmail knowledge right after I use it.
  4. Having fun building new Linode server. Linode rocks, thanks @ripienaar for the recommendation!
  5. New face of National Rail "too hott", users distracted from trains. RT @chris_alexander: http://bit.ly/8ivsbk
  6. @scottgal really, what did they object to?
  7. Incremental MySQL dumps from Ruby code: nifty gadget by @digitalronin: http://bit.ly/53orpt
  8. @ripienaar blame @krisbuytaert for that one! I prefer the term 'sysvelopment admogrammer'.
  9. Great #devops talk by leading devministrator @krisbuytaert: http://bit.ly/5iJuXh
  10. "Duke Nukem Forever", the game that never was. When a shoot-em-up becomes a death march: http://bit.ly/5oJ4qR
  11. Cool article by @simonw on designing and scaling crowdsourcing apps for the Guardian: http://bit.ly/5xnFne
  12. Excellent intro to #kanban for #sysadmins by @LordCope: Sysadvent day 19: http://bit.ly/8iEVku
  13. Genius. The definitive 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace' takedown. Watch it all. http://bit.ly/735lta
  14. Worried as @gourdltd suggested I should go on 'Grumpy Old Men'. Just because I quipped lightly that snow could fuck off.
  15. So to connect to your VPN, I need to install X on my headless Linux server to run the GUI VPN client... as root? I feel more secure already.
  16. Cool! R to get the Lisp nature. RT @skeptomai: RT @lambda_ultimate: Lisp as a Base for a Statistical Computing System: http://bit.ly/7KLYPU
  17. While training @gourdltd on #Drupal, noticed that the Socialite module breaks horribly when installed on 6.15. Which is odd.
  18. @aberfoyle I didn't love it so much when I spent 2 hours typing in a game and then woggled it by mistake and reset the machine.
  19. An Oyster card has the same memory as a ZX81 (I'm guessing without the RAM pack). But it doesn't play 3D Monster Maze. http://bit.ly/8w7tZc
  20. How to make software 'sysadmin-friendly' (and Puppet friendly), from @yesthattom: http://bit.ly/7tKCZE
