    (THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX – YOU WILL WANT TO UNDO THIS ONCE YOUR DNS ISSUES ARE RESOLVED – probably a few hours, maybe a day or two) Ok, so over 2 hrs ago I started having problems getting to google. After trying to find information on Yahoo and Bing I found a bunch…

    I’m gonna buy one of these for each of us when we fly home for Christmas.  When we flew last time we had a carseat and two screaming kids as we walked on the plane – and of course we didn’t get on early so we got to walk the WHOLE length of the plane…

    I read a few weeks back that the Google Docs Api had the ability to allow you to share your folders but that the interface didn’t have it yet.  I don’t know how people find things like that – going through the api code I guess… but anyway I logged in today and sure enough…

    Ok, now that I’ve got your attention I’ll add a small discalimer – the dust hasn’t quite settled yet and no one knows at this point exactly what will happen, but from what I can tell this is one of those places where a decision was made not because it was the best one but…

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about clouds and all the things that can be done in them.  I was just having a conversation the other day about how pretty soon our computers will be “dumb terminals” and even our OS will be “in the cloud”.  Google is been rumored to be close to releasing…

    At the Super Computer 2008 conference a couple of months ago, Microsoft created a short video interview of one of my coworkers talking about the Hybrid Cluster solution.  This solution still seems so amazing to me that Moab can dynamically setup the best use of the system including the OS needed to run certain applications. …

    Last night I wanted to see my google analytics on my iPod Touch, however there is currently no flash plugin available for it so I don’t get the graphs. I think I just came up with a simple solution. You can have google email you a PDF version of the analytics every day, week, or…
