Potpourri

  1. Linux administrators should be aware of Y2K7, which is the DST change-over as blessed by the morons in our government who thought it was a really good idea to screw with DST with a year buffer, because nobody in the computer sector ever procrastinates. Here's a site with information on Verifying TimeZone Settings In Linux and make sure your machine is ready for March 11th.
  2. Spork? Spork! SPORK!
  3. What's with podcasts having iTunes-only feeds? I stumbled on Distorted Circuitry, which has no RSS feed to speak of (information on how to subscribe is in iTunes. How convenient), and now Merlin Mann (who is practically my productivity "guardo camino") has put up a teaser for his new show "The Merlin Show" which is also iTunes-only. Please, for the love of God, make some RSS feeds for the rest of us poor schlubs who aren't blessed to have an iTunes client.
  4. Watching the Brits slag on American Television is much more fun than watching it. (Thank JoDee for this clip).
  5. Judge Judy lays into an eBay Scammer. Hilarity ensues.
