A Pint-Size Powerhouse with a Tasty-Sounding Name

It's hard not to love the Raspberry Pi. For less money that it takes to stop at a drive-through, it's possible to buy the top-end RPi model. (Granted, I have three teenagers, so the drive-through is expensi..

My Supercomputer: the 386 Math Coprocessor

When I was in college, there was a rich kid down the hall who had a computer with 16MB of RAM. Before you scoff, you need to think back to 1993. The standard amount of RAM in a new computer was 2MB, with 4MB bei..

Remembering Spidey

Back before Google was born, and even longer before it became a verb, the World Wide Web was often searched by a little spider on a surfboard. Webcrawler was to many of us in the mid 1990s what Google is to the entire planet now. Of co..

Digital Duct Tape

I've had enough system administration jobs to know that companies tend to take drastically different approaches to how they handle technology. Some companies budget extensively for their server infrastructures, and others have old wo..

Sticky Note of Doom

Years ago, I had the brilliant idea that all my users in the finance department should have complex passwords. This made perfect sense to everyone, since dealing with millions of dollars of revenue is something that should be secure..

Data, Data Everywhere

When I was younger, I read a lot of books. Although they've fallen out of style, some of my favorite books were of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" variety. The only downside is that three or four nested page-turning decisions int..

Indiana was the Dog's Name

My wife is afraid of snakes. Actually, "afraid" may not be a big enough word. My wife is terrifyingly and abundantly mortified of snakes. Like any good husband, I remind her that Indiana Jones also was afraid of snakes, so s..

The Borg Ran Windows

I was watching Star Trek the Next Generation the other day with my 13-year-old daughter, and I began to ponder what operating system the Borg used. Based on shape and available systems in the early 1990s, you might think..

One of these things doesn't belong in the workplace. If you ask most people in the business world, they'd say a penguin is a silly thing to keep at work. Those of us in the server room, however, ..
