I linked to this guy’s previous video before, but I’m at work, too busy to find it and link back to it, but wanted to share this, as it’s hilarious:

- I’m looking more into virtualizing a bit more to consolidate some old but still (unfortunately) necessary servers here at the office (still need the hardware to do it, but that’s another issue). They’re older Windows 2000 servers that won’t run well on Windows 2003 (I’ve tried). I’m leaning towards a Xen platform, possibly running on top of CentOS with Virtual Machine Manager installed. I’m more familiar with RedHat/RPM-based distros, but I’m just at the preliminary research stages so all that may change. Many of the solutions out there require XP/2003 or higher (like the stupid-simple Disk2vhd), but I’m going to have to look into some manual methods to get things moved as I really don’t want to rebuild the OS inside Xen. Thoughts/input is always welcome, since I know there are guys here that know far more about this type of thing than I.
- You thought BendBroadband’s 100GB data cap was bad? Try living in Canada and getting only 25GB. Because of the much lower cap, folks are much more inclined to block ads. Here are some ideas on how to block the ads on DD-WRT routers (another option — I’m sure something similar is possible on Tomato or TomatoUSB firmware as well). You can do it on a per-computer basis by using the MVP Hosts file.

- Egypt is having a real democratic revolution, while the one in Iraq was fake.
- Is Netflix trying to embarrass certain ISPs? My streaming works great on my WDTV Live Plus so BBB must not be on that list. Wish Hulu would get onto my WDTV box and I’d rarely have to ever turn on my HTPC.
- Best okcupid profile ever.
- Some jobs I could do no problem. This isn’t one of them.
- Google is accusing Bing of copying their search results.
- The hilarious Axe Cop comic (written by a five-year-old, illustrated by his 29-year-old brother) really needs to be turned into a movie.
- Some stuff people are printing in my room over the internet. While live printing has been shutdown, there is some interesting stuff in the gallery.
- Another good list of Android apps and games.
