Windows support is coming to Ansible soon. That's cool. Puppet needs the competition to keep them refining Puppet Enterprise. - http://itmanager.blogs.com/notes...
It has taken me a long time and many hours of personal experience (is that redundant?) to learn that if after point and counterpoint two people don't agree, it is very unlikely that they will come to agreement with further argument.
So unless one is looking for an evening of fun, arguments and trolling, it's best to stop there. I'm sure the people of friendfeed wish I had learned this 3 years ago. :D

Here's hoping that all this experience that I'm gaining with the Ceph distributed storage solution on Linux won't go to waste. CRUSH FTW! - http://itmanager.blogs.com/notes...
Only 9 lightbulbs out of 58 left in the house that are not LEDs. I love LED lights. There's little reason now to buy anything else to replace medium screw in type base (your traditional lightbulb type) bulbs up to 75 watt equivalent. Costco and Home Depot sell these bulbs at prices that make even CFL bulbs look expensive.
The only place I've had trouble are with some older, dome lighting fixtures. Some of those are either too narrow, or too short, to fit most of the LED or fluorescent bulbs I've bought. The domes were mostly easy to replace with slightly larger versions, but I did have to replace them.

Add "steel sharpens steel" as another metaphor that I love to hate. Steel does not, in fact sharpen steel. Two swords clashing dull each other. And even when a steel refers to a diamond steel, a diamond steel only hones a blade, it doesn't sharpen it.
Stalone and company have shown supreme command over the art form of gratuitous violence in film and have distilled numerous years of knowledge down into a series known as The Expendables. Formulaic? Sure. Trite? Ok. Throwback to the golden age of action movies known as the '80s? Most definitely. Pure fun? Absolutely.
There's definitely something to be said for a bunch of actors getting together and just enjoying being together on screen. It worked for some of the Star Trek movies, the George Clooney Ocean's Eleven movies and it works for the Expendables too. High art? Believable? Sensitive? Nuanced? You gotta be kidding me...and sometimes that's exactly the point.

That sums up nicely why I bought a Nexus 4 last year. All the Android without the wait. Most of the Android users that haven't updated are in that boat because their carriers won't push the updates to them, not because they've chosen to wait.

I'm ending the automatic renewal. The benefits of Amazon doesn't seem all that great now that purchases are taxed in California. I could wait a bit longer than 2-day shipping. I mostly use Netflix for streaming.

I know who Sagan was, of course, but I didn't ever watch Cosmos. My TV watching was pretty limited when I was younger, we didn't have many channels, and somehow that one never made it in.

I think that the climate science deniers are all just playing one big skin game mashed up with Calvin Ball.

Yep, I've taken it as far as it can go. When people post crap as science and argue that I'm saying it's not reputable because it's not coming from one of my pro-climate change sources, there's just no way to move the conversation forward.
