Today marks the last day of my work with dotSUB. I decided some time ago to accept the full-time position of Chief Technology Officer at Versature Corp.

So today I reflect on the past and look toward the future.

Obama

As I listen to the speech being given by Obama, one line stands out for me:

As for our common defence, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.

This man is a breathtaking orator.

Quote of the Month: Steve Jobs on Spending Money

adam — Fri, 11 May 2007 12:50:07 +0000

At Apple Inc.’s May 10 annual shareholder meeting, a member of the audience questioned Jobs on Apple’s relatively low figure of reinvestment in R&D, saying that he felt the company was missing low handing fruit with new product opportunities, particularly with the delay of Leopard. Jobs responded:

I wish it was just a matter of writing checks. If it was just a matter of spending money, Microsoft would deliver good products.

Terrific quote.

I’m currently sitting in the BitHeads auditorium listening to introduction to the first BarCamp being held in Ottawa. Alec Saunders is presenting on the topic of demos/presentations themselves, which I’m looking forward to.

What Makes a Great Demo

Alec did a great job at this presentation, thanks!

If your e100 (eepro100) or any other NIC won’t work for you, try setting IRQ Routing to “Fixed” in the BIOS. I would get “Device or Resource Busy”. Also, I needed to manually load the megaraid module and then run the hardware detection step again to get the RAID controller to work.
