Storage On Demand – The canvas for sensible virtualization
Tags: clusters, hosting, thinking out loud, virtualization
It is extremely difficult to keep up with 30,000 + web hosts (in the US alone) to keep a bird’s eye view of what is being adopted in the virtualization market. I spent a few hours today clicking banners and digging up statistics to make sure that my “Who’s Who” in the industry is kept [...]

Since I have done quite a bit of hacking and tinkering on my WP code base, getting certain plug-ins working can be a bit of a chore. I’ve installed nofollow-free and it seems to be working rather well.
Because I’ve changed many things in how my theme works, the pretty blue band at the top corner [...]

We’ve already seen a patent for music from human DNA. Could this technique result in a patent that restricted [...]
So I tried Blogrush, for exactly three minutes
Tags: blogging, blogrush, frustrating, Rants, writing
Most of the people who read my blog do so via RSS and never leave a comment. That’s O.K. by me, I enjoy knowing that I provided someone, somewhere with something (at least semi-interesting) to read.
I was hoping for more comments when I re-opened my blog. A service named Blogrush was getting quite a bit [...]
