Boneist just informed me that links from my site to my Oracle ACE profile were linking through to Steven Feuerstein’s profile.
Here’s the link I’ve always used for this profile. It’s been on my blog, website and forum for years and worked just fine when I’ve clicked the links in the past.

You sometimes get questions that are easily answered by a Google search, so you give people a link to lmgtfy.com, like this.

I had a little rant about IE and Flash yesterday. Later in the day I was at a friends house and he pointed me at this Early Look at IE9 for Developers blog post.

I’ve just had a morning of dealing with a handfull of websites that either contain loads of flash or don’t display correctly in Firefox. Last time I checked Firefox was claiming 25% of the market (and 400M of memory). Chrome market share is creeping up as well. What the hell are companies doing still writing [...]
I know it’s been said before, but I read this and thought, once Red Hat’s market value starts to drop Oracle could get a really good deal.
I thought the reference to the quality of Red Hat’s support was quite comical. I’ve always found their support to be terrible. To be more specific, you raise a [...]
Hopefully the title got your attention. Of course it could have read, “Real Linux Sysadmins use Cobbler and Puppet…”, or any number of comparable statements and products.
