Sunday Blowout

What a game. The Indianapolis Colts blew out the St. Louis Rams 42-6. We're already of of Daylight Savings Time over here, so I was able to watch the game starting at 6 p.m. Sweet!

Let's see if the Colts can keep the ball rolling.

Cheers!

A New American

My 7-month-old son got his American citizenship a week ago. He was born in March, and we had to register his birth at the U.S. Embassy in Prague. It was a very smooth process. We were also able to apply for his Social Security card and his passport. I pick up the passport tomorrow morning. (You can see his passport photo at the top of this blog entry).

So, my son now has dual citizenship: Czech and American. He'll be able to choose which one he keeps when he is older.

I think that this is a good thing.

My days at Sun are winding down. I'll be making a big announcement in November.

Cheers!

VirtualBox Rocks!

VirtualBox rocks!

As you know, I've been designing a training course for Cloud Computing and I've been playing around with hypervisors. My favorite type 2 hypervisor is Sun's VirtualBox. It's free and easy to use.

Look at the screenshot above. I have six operating systems installed as guest operating systems on VirtualBox. No disk partitioning was required to do this. Each operating system has its own virtual hard disk image. The image is expandable too.

If you haven't had the chance to check out VirtualBox, be sure to do so. You will like what you see.

Cheers!

Colts 5-0

Hi all,

A person blog entry today. The Indianapolis Colts are 5-0 after the first five weeks of the season. Could be a Superbowl season.

I've been watching the games on NFL Gamepass. And when the Colts play early in the morning my time, I watch the game with my 7-month-old son the next morning. No interruptions. Cool.

Cheers!
