Some comparisons

When you should (and should not) think about using Amazon EC2
Thursday, August 24th, 2006
The Amazon AWS team has done it again. And EC2 is generating quite the talk. Perhaps I’ve not been watching the blogosphere closely enough about anything in particular until now (very likely) but I’ve not really seen this much general excitement. The ferver I see going around is alot like a kid at christmas. You [...]
But… But… But… Why didnt they pick ME?!

There’s a lot of talk going around about Ubuntu linux versus Debian linux versus XYZ linuz and why Ubuntu has become popular (even trendy!) But It seems to me that most of this talk boils down to “But I think MY distro is better” whether “my distro” means “I made it” or just “I use [...]

Of Nature, Suffering and the Internet
Wednesday, May 17th, 2006
If you live in an area with earthquakes, you might suffer. If you live in an area with a volcano, you might suffer.
