I believe I just went cross-eyed.

People still go to Freshmeat?

Boy- I didn't understand a word you just said.

I think that's an important point. I tend to have a few recurring ideas that I come back to. The trouble is, I have a bad habit of not keeping each project in a well maintained state. Most times when I come back to something I pretty much start again... ugh.

I agree, I don't think the article had 'making a business out of it' in mind.

This is just hacking with a goal to finishing the project. A noble goal, I think. Though in my experience a difficult one.

I always thought it was Woody Allen that said that. Don't tell me he stole it and took credit for it?

HPC in Ruby...

HPC in... Ruby?

Of all the people advocating Knuth, I wonder how many have actually read it- even just Volume I.

It appears a 3rd edition is on the way. I wonder what changes it will bring?

I'm sick of this 'cloud computing' bullshit already.

I adore Slicehost, and have a few servers with them, but if I hear that term one more time...

The great thing about Slicehost was the size. They were big enough to be reliable but small enough to give a shit when you had a question on #slicehost on freenode.

PickledOnion's posts on the Slicehost articles page were top notch. I hope the quality continues.

It got to the point that I'd only recommend Slicehost, after a few bad experiences with media temple and the like.

DON'T FUCK IT UP, RACKSPACE.

Earth to omfut. Do you read omfut?

I really wish I had more time to learn Objective-C, Cocoa and the like.

I wrote an FxPlug plugin for Final Cut and found the language to be quite a bit different to C++.

I would write more but my ride is here already damn it!

My existential dread prevents me from working more than 40 hours a week.

The weeks I do more than 40 are followed immediately by a week of 20, or less.

You could write an Apache module. Or use FastCGI. Or libasync: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.824-2004/async/6.html

Let me know what you end up doing.

So it's not just me then. I found it pretty much unreadable.
