Fat kitty. I was listening to the radio, and heard an ad for heating oil based home heat systems. Among the many selling points that the chipper young thing they had reading their ad offered was the following: Heating oil produces more heat per gallon than any other home heating system. Given that the only . . . → Read More: It’s a gas… Almost every morning, when I emerge from the bedroom, my smaller cat and I have a conversation. She meows at me, and I back at her. Sometimes it lasts until the tea is ready. During the entire thing, she looks very intently and earnestly up at me. She clearly has something to say. Sometimes, instead . . . → Read More: How it works in the morning…. Our new co-lo facility rocks my world. Boston Data Centers is the bomb. It’s located in a massive warehouse, and they sell everything from web hosting, to space in racks (your machine might sit next to somebody else’s), to “cages” (what we’ve got) where you functionally rent a room for your computers to live in. . . . → Read More: Now THAT’s a data center I just heard about an opportunity in MI for a high performance computing wizard. Parallel programming, shared memory tuning, cluster optimization and algorithm development. It’s for an on-site gig of indefinite duration in the Western suburbs of Detroit.

They continue to impress me as a company that has managed to get large with only a minimal amount of “suck” added into the mix (at least the ones I deal with. I say nothing about the service or consumer electronics end of things). We . . . → Read More: Power dinner Today is so stunningly beautiful out, I’m having a lot of trouble believing that it’s February. The snow is melting, if this keeps up, the trees and lawn are going to think that it’s spring and start sending out new shoots. The weather report claims that it’s only 50 degrees out, which is totally bogus. . . . → Read More: Stunning, beautiful day. I decided to hunt around for some good conspiracy theory web sites. These range from hysterical but possibly informative alternative news sources (What Really Happened, AlterNet) to the ravings of the mentally ill (Mind Control Fora). It’s sort of disturbing to me how many of these raving loonies are VERY DEVOUT CHRISTIANS and tell you . . . → Read More: Conspiracy Theory (1) The nice people at Home Depot will cut your roller blinds to custom lengths for you, using this truly amazing blind cutting machine.
