    Funny

    Jake11/27/2007

    So today I got back to my desk and booted my laptop and weird things started happening…My toolbars kept disappearing and and when I opened a terminal I got an error about a resource not being available. I tried removing the usual suspects .gnome*, .gconf*, etc and the same problem. So I moved my home directory and created a new one..Same thing. By this time I’m beyond pissed wondering wtf has happened to my laptop.

    I happened to google the error I got while trying to open a terminal and as soon as I saw the first result I knew exactly what happened. For the last couple of days I’ve been playing around with limiting processes per user in /etc/security/limits.conf and I had forgotten to comment out the line that limited my user to only 50 processes :-D.. I take back all the bad things I said about Fedora..:-)

    Jackass

    I don’t mind people who put quotes in their email signature. I’ve come across some pretty good quotes that way. But when you quote *yourself* in your email signature…You sir are a jackass. And nevermind that it’s a stupid quote..Jackass.

    640k is enough

    Jake11/10/2007

    We were watching a recorded episode of Night Court and this kid was describing his “laptop” and he boasted about 640k of memory. I couldn’t help but laugh since last night at work during our monthly maintenance outage I installed 16GB of memory in two different servers…The times they do change.

    Pretty good article over at Debian Administration on basic rate limiting using iptables.
