Just a short greeting from Wilson here. Big thanks to John for offering me this spot on his blog-site! A friend in screed is a friend indeed. Check below for some nerdiness relating to emacs and Jedit…

My friend John is coming along, username “wilson”. Look for his posts here! (Thus the name change to “John Borwick & co.”)

I read LOTS of blogs (ca. 450 entries) today.

• When Segway batteries get low, people get hurt.
• iPod freeware
• How to stress-test an Apache webserver
• Diebold voting machines are not secure
• Optimizing linux with the -mm kernel patch
• The Phalanx Project, a Ponie (Perl 6) test group
• Radio/Audio/Media programs
• dancing LAN party dude at a wedding
• decafbad.com/blog

Also, what is Google doing creating GFS (the Google File System)?

Star Trek: The Next Generation is going to come out on DVD. It’s called “The Borg Megacube” and it’s 48 DVDs.

The Acme::VerySign module (along with all the Acme::* modules) is a joke. If a subroutine isn’t found, the IP address of sitefinder.verisign.com will be returned.

I get my service via rootr.com. While it’s a good deal ($30/month for control over your own apache server), I don’t know if I need it anymore since robotladybug isn’t doing so well and I don’t need the power. So I’m considering whether to go to a cheaper service that just gives me CGI access (to keep movable type running).

Maybe a virtual server? This one’s only $20/month and you get 3 gb of hard drive space!
