Power went out for between 10 - 15 minutes at our office today. It was a city-wide (Mississauga, ON. Canada) outage.
This gave me a good 10-15 minutes to reflect on how fickle technology is and how so totally unprepared we (and the whole world) are when it fails.

Surprisingly, A LOT of people including several mainstream media got the contents of today's announcement by Apple incorrectly.
Almost everybody said that the announcement today was going to unveil the new iPhone 5. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. We here at caffe*nix technologies of course knew better... we predicted the announcement of the iPhone 7Gx.
Instead the new iPhone 4S was unveiled today. Apple probably changed the name at last minute just to make us here at caffenix look bad. And as usual the iPhone 4S was touted as the "The most amazing iPhone yet". We wonder if they (Apple) think people are so dumb and forgetful to remember that they said the EXACT same thing last year and the year before and the year before that!
Move along...nothing to see here!

Nine traits of the veteran Unix admin was on slashdot a while back. Naturally, there should be a corresponding "11 traits of the veteran Linux admin".
Veteran Linux admin trait No. 1: We use sudoLinux admins don't mind using sudo..and its not because they like it, but only because certain *nix distros insist on standardizing around sudo.
