slowe via blog.scottlowe.org on Tue, 02 Dec. 2008
Sometimes I like doing things manually. I can’t tell you why, except perhaps to say that I’d rather know exactly what’s going on and how things are happening instead of giving over control to a “black box” that does something for me and spits out the results. It’s silly, I know, but that’s just how I am.
Case in point: today Google announced

RFP's May Increase Risk and Costs
Krishna Kumar via Thought Clusters on Mon, 01 Dec. 2008
Paul Graham makes a great point in his essay about how every risk management tactic by an organization has a cost. He explains how these costs are greater than they seem at first glance, because they filter out competence for doing tasks and replaces it with competence at selling. I would like to elaborate on vendor selection, which was o

Which storage protocol is best?
Dave Lawrence via The VMguy on Tue, 25 Nov. 2008
This question is definitely one of the most common that I receive. "We’re thinking of building a new infrastructure for our virtual machines, which storage protocol should we use?" There are two things to remember for this decision. Performance and functionality.

Program Your TiVo From Your Cell Phone
Erick Schonfeld via TechCrunch on Tue, 25 Nov. 2008
I can't watch TV without my TiVo, but the one thing I'm really lax about is actually programming the damn thing (Best Invention Ever: Season Pass). In an effort to strip away all my excuses for not finding new shows and movies to watch, TiVo is introducing a mobile site at m.tiv

Spin Spindown to me?
Martin Glassborow via Storagebod's Blog on Mon, 24 Nov. 2008
Like a certain Alex McDonald, I don't get spin-down! Okay, I get the idea; when a disk isn't being accessed, after a certain period of time you can spin it down and hence you can save power, wave your little eco-worrier flag and feel good about yourself. But does it work? Okay, first things first;
