Ben, Jason and Dave talk about Solaris Nevada 54, SMF vs. launchd.
We talk with Shanr (aka Shane Stakem) about Joyent’s hardware infrastructure.
DISCLAIMER: This is really a new low for production values, and content morality. Switches were missed, bad jokes told. Levelator couldn’t fix this mess. Does it work with whiskey?
Here’s a direct link to the mp3.
This week’s music: Lupe Fiasco from his album Food & Liquor.
This week’s highlighted product: Cowgirl Creamery. From the heart of Marin County, California. Just like Joyent.

I’m scared to listen now… hold me tight.
Sounds like your recording levels were too high (mic too close) for Dave. You can’t recover clipped audio.
I found that reducing the treble makes everything, except dave, sound fairly good.
Will we be getting those holiday gifts (Joyent Core, TextPanel etc..) any time soon?
I couldn’t stop laughing when I could hear what sounded like David getting a BJ from 21:30 minutes into the recording to 23:00.
I particularly laughed when the “money” moment happened at 22:37.
Another great episode as always.
@Nikki: Your name betrays you. As does your insider knowledge.
Taking a cue from other sites, here is my 2007 Joyent wish list.
TextDrive1. TextPanel released (soon please)2. Postgres upgraded to 8.23. Solaris on all hosting packages (shared hosting, container etc..)
Joyent1. Joyent Core (is this already out, it’s unclear to me)
BlingoDisk1. An API so that I can use it within my web-apps to save directly to my BingoDisk
Since the permalink to the Nordstrom’s post is not working
http://joyeur.com/2007/01/04/nordstroms-line-of-cash-registers
I’ll post here.——————-
Joyent, what is your Nordstorm “shoe” service that you provide.
Is it web infrastructure?
@Ted: yes. Permalink now working.
@George: TextDrive 1: done. 2. considering. 3. In process. Joyent. 1. Happening. Blingodisk [sic]: 1. WebDAV is a protocol. Better than an API. Not proprietary.
>>> [TextPanel]: done.
David
I don’t see anything on the textdrive message board to indicate textpanel has been released.
Can we get some screenshots and a writeup of what it does/improves over webmin.
Thanks
please sir, a new ps pipe grep if you will sir, please
oh @brett… look back a few months… and look for a post by dean… its is very hush hush private beta… and well Joyent just dosen’t release beta-ware… i remember seeing that rant, in relation to google and my “web 2.0 sites”
Dave, any chances of getting another pspipegrep out the door?
I too am looking forward to the next ps pipe grep from the Joyeurs (or Joyfolk?).
And while it might be easy to classify the podcast as a fun little extra for the Joyent/TextDrive community and therefore not a big priority, I do have to say that listening to the podcasts is what very quickly moved me from “I should consider TextDrive for hosting” to “Wow, that’s a really great company with some real people behind it that really know their stuff – I like where they’re going – How much is that Mixed Grill plan?”
And now, $499 later, I’m a happy and enthusiastic MG’er, quickly learning as much as I can and eager to see what’s next. Oh, and for what it’s worth, I’m not the programming or computer science type, but even so, ps pipe grep made sense (the podcast at least… I guess I should go ‘man -k’ those to figure out how they’re used (I at least know what they individually mean!))
