My what small footprints you have..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Fred Langa has a good article up over at Information Week about small and zero-footprint Linux distros.. I may have to download one of the “run from CD” versions so I have something I can play with at work during slow times. It’s almost summer, once we get through our big annual meeting in late May the summer should really bring the workload to a crawl around the office. I should have some time to play around with it, assuming we don’t develop some large project to do over the summer. I doubt we will, there hasn’t been enough planning done at this point on anything.

    Yes it’s 3:30PM and I’m still working on the same problem that was carried over from yesterday. It’s taken me almost this long just to convince them that it wasn’t the FTP client I was using that was causing the problem. I’ve only been using this FTP client for years with no problems up until…

    So, there I was, settling in after the telephone debacle at work, popping open my copy of Amphetadesk in yet another attempt to get somewhat caught up on my tech news and tech blog reading, when the browser opened up with a bizarre error message about something HASH being outside the allowable array for use…

    OK, I admit it, I’m a sucker. I know I’m not the only one out there either. Yeah, I’ll be listening to Kevin’s podcast later today, simply because he blogged about it and said that I was mentioned in the program. Like you wouldn’t be tuning in to see what he said about you… 🙂…

  • More on file swapping

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    There’s more all around on the latest file-sharing stuff, here, here, and here. The thing to take away from all of this is that there’s a very real possibility that file-sharing will be no more, and that burning music to a cd will become a very burdensome process in the near future. While I don’t…
