@evernote The new v4 Windows client seems to run OK on Linux under Wine. Have ya'll tested that? Is that a safe/good way to run the client?

@nealcampbell I'd love to say "let’s go eat some good food and talk", but I'm probably too far away. What else can I do?

Had you told me 2 months ago that I'd be buying a 1955 combine at a farm auction -- for my own use! -- I'd have said you were quite crazy!

#Novell announced #Attachmate buyout. Attachmate's web site is crushed by the traffic. NOT a good way to start a new vendor relationship...

@Evernote I'm thrilled to discover that the new v4 client seems to run great on Linux with Wine! So glad you gave up on using .NET! Thanks!!

6.5 days for AT&T to find and fix a problem with a customer's T1 line! Totally unacceptable! Alternatives? None! Frustration? High!!

If you advertise nation-wide, maybe your service should be ready? "We're sorry, Angie's List isn't up and running in your area yet." Grrrr!

Yet another reason why I dislike Dell: They won't sell me just the drive tray for a new T610 server. Can only buy them with a drive in them.

@didthishappen Yes! Ready for more episodes... Enjoying them a lot...

Takeaway from today's 13 hour work-day: VMware needs excellent disk I/O performance and the Dell SAS6/IR is utterly inadequate to the task.

Working on a holiday again. Who else besides IT people look forward to long weekends in order to implement major network or system upgrades?

Replacing a customer's server with one of my loaners. What a way to spend a Saturday but at least I'll have Monday off to make up for it....

Installing 48 1TB drives in our new Equallogic PS6500! The PS300's in the rack are showing a bit of envy. Can't wait to fire this thing up!!

So, when I wear my Novell jacket over my Microsoft shirt, is that a metaphor for something? I think it must be....

The new Kindle for PC (Thanks @CaliLewis) turns my old HP TC1100 tablet into a nice eBook reader! It's great for night reading...

Question: from an "audio only" point of view, what can Sony Sound Forge 10 do that Sony Vegas 9 can't do? I have Vegas. Do I need Forge??

Firmware update to my iPod Touch crashed and lost all but one of my paid-for apps. Good thing I'm still using my Palm TX for important work!

@fmims : a while ago you tweeted about making a seismograph from a piezo element, a brick, and something...? Where could I learn more?
