gasda··on Look for the duct tape
Yes, great site. Made me create one for my local area ;)
gasda··on When Working Remotely Fails in Practice
It feels like this is more about "how working across timezones fails in practice, for this team".

"From 9-10am, I was often unable to work much because the team was on lunch." I don't understand why the team being at lunch would cause someone to stop working..

gasda··on PuTTY 0.68 has been released

gasda··on DigitalOcean releases team accounts
They wont allow a single account to be part of multiple teams. For each client I guess I have to create a new DO account, less than ideal. But still better than before.
gasda··on Reddit – how I grew to love then hate it within 24 hours and what I learned
reddit that fickle mistress.
gasda··on Don't Wake Up the Programmer
Wow I started to read this, then started thinking oh just another "leave me alone while I program" post from 5 years ago. After reading the comments here I went back and read the complete post. Glad I did. That was a great way to describe how interruptions kill the processes.
gasda··on Ask HN: How to deal with bullshit DMCA threat ?
So he should lose because a website he used, uses godaddy? WTF?
gasda··on Stolen Tesla Splits In Half and Explodes Following Police Pursuit
Why a high speed pursuit, can't the Tesla be remotely tracked and disabled?

Why do I feel like I'm using up a UUID each time I run it.
gasda··on The FreeBSD Foundation falls short of its 2012 fundraising goal by 50%
Why do FreeBSD users always have to 'defend' their choice. I wonder if every time someone tells me that they run some distro of Linux I should ask them why they don't use FreeBSD.
gasda··on Rootkit infects Linux web servers
I don't have access to a system with the root kit, but something like comparing the reported size of the file and the number of bytes you can read might work

if ls -l /etc/rc.local | awk '{print $5}' != \ cat /etc/rc.local | wc -c

Also looks like you might be able to see it running with a ps also.

gasda··on Ask: Why do so many developer jobs require on-site presence?
I think that is also why managers don't like off site employees. Upper management might think a remote employee is the same as and outsourced Person. And decide to outsource due to your successful remote employees.

join was new to me. I like it....

Always happy to learn a new command.

gasda··on Should district be allowed to demand middle-schooler's Facebook password?
Won't people just start creating 2 accounts. One with only "approved" content, then a second account where all their real friends are also connected via their second account.

It will make it even harder to keep tabs on them.

gasda··on Are we all really just Craigslist?
I like that the 'rants and raves' and adult services are the only two links that show visited.

The other products do one thing and try and do it well, where craigs list tries to do it all, without doing much.

gasda··on Everyone dials in
We do the same thing on my team of 12, 9 of us in one office with 3 remote people. The remote people dont feel any more remote than the person 30 feet from you.
