  1. QOTD from AMD: Compared to the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor ... the new Six-Core AMD Opteron processors offer 50% more cores - No, srsly?
  2. @michaeltwofish I use the Its All Text addon to approximate this http://ur1.ca/6lzq (though its not quite what youre asking for)
  3. Apparently the IETF are considering developing a good-quality royalty-free audio codec http://www.rowetel.com/blog...
  4. Netteller, who do internet banking for !au credit unions, are the rankest of amateurs. And yes, rank as in *stinking*.
  5. Ive run across two blogs this morning that dont have RSS or Atom feeds? Huh? Whats the point of a blog without syndication?
  6. @bengrubb I've often griped about !au legacy news failing to include links, so I'm delighted to see them - well done!
  7. @OpenAustralia Wow, News' article http://bit.ly/5VREU has now been updated with links to the Interwebz - go old media!
  8. Just ran across #lvm's `lvs`, successor to lvdisplay. Now incorporating it into a #nagios check. !linux
  9. There needs to be a special circle of hell reserved for those who set max length limits on passwords (8 chars?! wtf?)
  10. Ok, 2pm, must be time to actually do some work. Who stole my morning?
  11. Unwinding a particularly stupid directory layout in an old app - 'tree | tail -n1' takes 45 minutes
  12. Migrating a couple of jabber servers from djabberd to ejabberd
  13. This weekend's hack: storing user styles as delicious tags - http://bit.ly/NnjB0
  14. @paulv Yes, I noticed it this morning. All fixed now. :-)
  15. #firefox selection search is available via the ConQuery addon http://bit.ly/cmfIE firefox3 beta version: http://bit.ly/gb8VL
  16. @paulv I've also got one here: http://www.openfusion.com.a...
  17. Dumb web question: why don't more sites (and my blog) hide/show their sidebars and nav. etc on request? (in this age of javascript goodness)
  18. @paulv The contrib versions aren't officially supported by the nagios plugins team, so maybe they're not packaged, or are separate?
  19. @paulv Nagios check FTW. Which check_linux_raid is that, out of interest?
  20. Anyone know of a !firefox addon (or sth) that will let me select text and then send it as a query to one of my configured search engines?
