Knowledge is power. Sharing is empowerment.
Got the title quote from a colleague of mine, and have adopted it in my .signature: Knowledge is power. Sharing is empowerment. You should really check out the Sun System Handbook, if you've never seen it before. It's THE tool for field engineers, sysadmins, and Sun Hardware geeks. The team that works on it is really top-notch, and have been working on Sun Hardware for at least 15 years! I am very priviledged to help these guys by trying to automate parts of the Handbook (Full Components List, Service Views, and more). Historically, there have been only 3 guys creating the content for the Handbook manually in HTML. There are 3 others, including myself, that are bringing XML to the Handbook for automation. Philosophically, I completely believe that sharing knowledge is a very good thing. That's also why Sun has started blogs.sun.com! If you know anyone working on Sun hardware, please point them to the Handbook! (2004-06-11 10:27:42.0) Permalink See also: SysHandbook
Happy Father's Day (early)
My family and I were walking through the Colorado Mills outlet mall, and I begged to stop by the Lego outlet store, and I saw it...  I've been drooling over this set since it was first released. My wife said, "I was going to order this on the Lego site for you anyways for Father's Day, so let's go ahead and get it. This way we don't have to pay shipping!" Not having to pay shipping is a very good thing. This set weighs as much as a small child! I was able to show considerable restraint in front of my children by not jumping up and down, but I am an extremely happy man! The set was too big to fit in a bag, so I had to carry it through the mall like a very proud papa. Interestingly enough, every male in the mall turned their heads to check it out. Most mumbled something about "is that for you, or for your kids?" My silly grin says it all... (2004-06-11 08:19:59.0) Permalink See also: Lego |
