A good explanation on why the guys behind jRuby like the J, aka Java Virtual Machine, part of JRuby. Interesting performance figures too when compared to the standard Ruby, especially considering people complain Java is slow. - Colin Seymour

I very much doubt this is going to have any effect on the EU regulators. They'll just perform the usual Gallic shrug and ignore the letter. - Colin Seymour

I've been saying this for years. Our little one certainly won't be one of the overly cleaned and protected types. - Colin Seymour

TwitPic from Springboks captain John Smit whist on tour in Italy. - Colin Seymour

Wow!!! And we didn't die in a great big black hole and the tabloids didn't even mention it. Now there's a surprise. - Colin Seymour

Hee hee hee. Only in South Africa. I suppose it's one way to keep the crime figures low. - Colin Seymour

Ooops. Looks like we may be turning to our bikes sooner than anticipated. - Colin Seymour

Ooooo, this could be a good thing. I'm a big user of Gizmo (to phone family in SA) however I've felt it a bit lacking and slow in development at times. Hopefully Google will work it's magic and this will become the SIP client of choice for most people. - Colin Seymour

Vital resource for hacking up those dtrace scripts. - Colin Seymour

A very useful resource if you have to delve into mdb. - Colin Seymour

A good response from Joerg to the OS New article <a href="http://www.osnews.com/story...">Should ZFS Have a fsck Tool?</a> - Colin Seymour

Yes folks, this is a comparison of 10 countries' plugs. Some people have far too much time. - Colin Seymour

Deduplication has just made its way into ZFS and Jeff provides a great explanation on what dedup it and why you need it, along with details on how to use it with ZFS. - Colin Seymour

Another stupid UK gov proposal: The section "<em>what if Peter Mandelson proposed a rule to terminate the internet access of any movie studio or record company accused of three baseless copyright claims against the public?</em>" raises a question: what if said movie companies just receive 3 baseless copyright infringement claims? Do they get cut off too? Probably not. - Colin Seymour

Hee hee hee. Co-incidence? Only Arnie knows. - Colin Seymour

What a brilliant idea. I think I need to get myself a few goats and start renting them out to our local council. - Colin Seymour

This stunning picture from National Geographic may answer this question. - Colin Seymour

One door closes, and thanks to Open Source, another opens. - Colin Seymour

It doesn't say much, but it speaks volumes. - Colin Seymour

I agree 100%. I'm not a fan of the clocks going back in winter. I prefer my afternoons and evenings to be light in winter, not dark by 4pm. - Colin Seymour

Finally. Someone taking a subjective and clear headed view of the MySQL side of the Oracle/Sun acquisition. - Colin Seymour

I think I need to get shopping for some mummy-wear for Claire. - Colin Seymour

This is why Chuck Norris wears Schalk Burger underpants - this is one thumping tackle from Burger and illustrates why he's continually picked for the Boks, even if he does suffer from "wandering finger syndrome". - Colin Seymour

Cool. If you're a cat owner, you want to see the Simon's Cat vids on YouTube - you'll be able to relate instantly. Now he's got an official website and shop. - Colin Seymour

A great post on what to do with those audit logs, once you've enabled auditing on Solaris. - Colin Seymour

Now that's a legal right I want, though maybe just a little bit fast - 8x at least ;-) - Colin Seymour

And so he should be ;-) . I'm not to fussed really. It's just one of those idiosyncrasies techies come up with when inventing stuff. - Colin Seymour

Hee hee hee - Colin Seymour

Ooops. Just as well I disabled this account a long time ago. - Colin Seymour

Some very valid points here. Lets hope the EU listens and pulls finger. Their heel dragging is causing more harm than the acquisition would. - Colin Seymour
