"A Lesson In Logic"

2003-10-04 01:54:42 ET This guy has some very good points about what happens when one dares to criticize Linux, even if it's entirely constructive and valid critisizm. That guy got burned.

Friday Night, 4 AM

2003-10-03 23:17:58 ET And what am I doing? Partying? Going out with friends? Romancing and dancing? Nope, I'm at home, finishing up my analysis of Solaris 9 (x86) versus RedHat Linux 9. So far some interesting results. For the most of the metrics I've tested, Solaris holds a slight performance edge over Linux, but not by much. However, in web operations, Linux can handle about double the rate of incoming connections, making it twice as bad-ass. I had thought that Solaris might come out ahead in most of these scenarios, especially the web operations, since Solaris has a reknowned rock-solid networking stack. 2 comments

New Speakers

2003-08-31 23:59:17 ET So my speakers are finally showing their age. They should, after all they're older than I am. My rather got them while serving in Vietnam. I'm thinking about getting a pair of Bose Series 3 speakers. They're the tiny little box speakers, about 3 inches cubed doubled up, but they sound enourmous. I'm checking eBay now. 15 comments

Pregnant?

2003-08-25 10:08:11 ET Someone on here (whom I don't know their identify) asked someone I do know to ask me if I got a girl pregnant. What the fuck? Of course not. That's really creepy. If you want to know, ask me. 6 comments

Mmm... Virus

2003-08-24 21:51:59 ET So it turns out I got myself the Welchia worm. I don't normally worry about such worms, as I've got a Linux firewall. What I didn't take into account was that when I'm connected through my work's VPN, I'm exposed to the office LAN, which is full of nasties, and I subsequently caught Welchia. I found it by noticing some odd outbound connections that shouldn't have been there. Kind of creepy. 00:40:59.088313 192.168.0.1 > 199.99.23.207: icmp: echo request 00:40:59.091134 192.168.0.1 > 61.250.120.128: icmp: echo request 00:40:59.094044 192.168.0.1 > 63.115.85.57: icmp: echo request 00:40:59.046292 192.168.0.1 > 65.231.64.132: icmp: echo request
