    Jeff has posted the presentation and some extra info from his Barcamp presentation: Session on Venture Capital Concepts. Fantastic stuff.

  • Process Virtualization/Host Virtualization

    Posted on August 22, 2005

    I’ve thought about systems like Mosix and their process migration ability with relation to moving about from one system to another. I would love to be able to just take a session from my desktop at work and start it up on my laptop or my desktop at home. I... [Read More]
