Registering in is sooo web 1.0
I’m really fond of anonymous or non-registered web sites. If you can please do it, and devise some smart way to not make people to have to register. Registering on yet an other site is annoying and most of the time its totally useless. I don’t want to register just to read your site. This [...]
The thing that came before me
My dad is becoming an old man but has a blog! Sometimes it has some nice projects and recommendations. It’s a nice read.
Awesomeness of last.fm
Last.Fm is a really awesome (to use this vague term) web 2.0 site. This site is in an ideal position in the market. What started as a simple this-is-what-I-listen-to stat site grew to a much larger community site, where people can find and share information about music. People still share their statistics, and this information [...]
Why I choose Gentoo

While this can take a long time, and requires a generally fast PC to do it without really bothering you, source based distributions do have major advantages.

software Raid5 Storage
I finally got myself a decent file server setup. 4 disks using software raid5. I took an old (but still pretty powerful) machine I had lying around and added 4 new disks (samsung 400GB) and a sata controller (Promise TX4). Of course I went for a Gentoo installation, as I know that distribution the best, [...]
