The Great LinTraining Cleanout - About 4 hours to go (as I write this) before we start the Cleanout. chalst had a good point in his response to my article about robots doing the link-checking. As I responded there, I want more intelligence than I've seen in any link-checking robot.
I think I was keeping it simple mostly to try to attract volunteers... and in so doing may have oversimplified what I was seeking.
We've got about 6 or 7 of us now... that'll do the trick, but we could certainly use some more folks if any of you are around. 8pm Eastern time on #lintraining at irc.freenode.net... come on over - it will be fun...
LinTraining - Fascinating. Even as we get to night of the great cleanout, we get three new submissions, all today:
- Mexico
- Spain
- Luxembourg
All for training centers... good stuff.
Pictures from OSW - It turns out that rgb from OCLUG put his pictures from the BOSS event online (once you get past the first few with the dogs). The man in the grey suit jacket and white shirt is Martin Fink, VP and CTO of HP's Business Critical Systems unit and the main speaker for the day.
Astute observers who know what I look like will see me there in my emcee role. Personally, I liked this one of me, although I look a bit too serious! :-)
The Chloe Journals - Now that we have mobility, it is abundantly clear that the home office will need some child-proofing. I've slung the desktop computers in brackets under the desk. Problem is that the power button on Lori's HP computer glows bright green and is right at the exact height that the little one can go up and push it! Given that it's the only Windows box I've got in the house - and it's XP to boot - I don't really want to be crashing it. I trust ext3 more than NTFS.
Of course, when I blocked off access to that power button, the wee one decided she'd crawl behind my chair and go for the power strip with the bright orange button - which happens to be the one connected to the cable modem, etc. (There's a UPS between that strip and the modem, etc., so damage would be minimal... although my teleworker and SIP phones would power cycle. (The UPS system only has so many plugs.))
My how life changes...
