Here’s a direct [...]

Utility? Or Generator in the Back Yard?

December 14, 2006 – 11:24 pm

I don’t get the Start-up Essentials program at Sun. Understand, I follow the part about cheaper hardware for companies of a certain size, revenue stream, employee base. Fantastico.

Origins of ZFS

December 6, 2006 – 5:19 am

Great article on the origins of ZFS by Al Riske. (Found link from Gruber on Daring Fireball.) We’ve written about ZFS many times on this weblog. Oh, and Bill and Jeff aren’t as goofy as they appear in the article. Jeff (on the right) is actually a fine wine expert in addition to roasting his [...]
