    Posted on April 3, 2006

    I’ve tried out the high availability NFS solution detailed here and run into a few issues. It does provide a great way to get a higher degree of availability for one of the most problematic bits of infrastructure, so I don’t mean to crap on the idea as a whole.... [Read More]

  • More SMS.ac Turd Flinging

    Posted on March 29, 2006

    These SMS.ac folks just don’t know when to quit.

  • Makes You Ponder

    Posted on March 28, 2006
