what os?
just thinking of all the various operating systems i use through the day on all the machines i have. what stuff do you use? here is what i use:
- ubuntu 12.04 (the absolute most)
- android ice cream sandwich (tablets and phones) – heavy use
- chrome os on chromebook (frequently)
- centos / redhat EE (frequently)
- archbang (frequently)
- mac osx lion (infrequently)
- windows 7 (rare)
- fedora 16 (rare)
- windows xp (very rare)
typically, like right now on my desk, i’m working with 4 operating systems simultaneously. wow. i’m a geek. most people have one computer running windows. or if they are cool hipsters, they have a mac. but if you are hardcore geek…you better be running one or more linuxes.
what’s my favorite? it depends. windows 7 is best for gaming. android is good on my portable devices. chrome os is great when i want a computer but i dont want to slug a big computer around. mac is only good at taking my money. fedora and xp are there just in case. archbang is awesome and becoming a favorite. and ubuntu because it simply just works better than fucking anything.

netapp
just spent saturday hanging out in the datacenter with our netapp.
and getting lost in the datacenter. the place is huge and dark and lit up with an occasional blue led flood lamp. the place is awesome. like a some sort of church to me.
i gotta pick up one of these for the house.

corporate firewalls
corporate firewalls are such a pain in the ass and so useless. i mean why even bother. they are so easy to bypass.
here’s a setup where a firewall allows you to surf the web. the only thing you need is a server that redirects ssl web traffic on port 443 to anywhere you want. you can run a proxy on port 443 or whatever you want. bonus if you use a virtual private server where you can select data centers of your choice. (like alanta, london, tokyo, etc.) that makes it very hard for corporate infosys groups to block your proxies.
simple right?
dont get burned by corporate firewalls. just go around them.
