The Snow Leopard we've built up in our heads

Nick Heer: linking to Jeff Johnson's The myth and reality of Mac OS X Snow Leopard I read an article today from yet another person pining for a mythical Snow Leopard-style MacOS release. While I sympathize with the intent of their argument, it is largely fictional and, as

Rebooting results in degraded RAID array using Debian Lenny

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

As described earlier, I setup a RAID 6 array consisting of physical 1 TB disk and 'virtual' 1 TB disks that are in fact two 0.5 TB disks in RAID 0.  I wanted to upgrade to Lenny because the new kernel that ships with Lenny supports growing a RAID 6 array. After installing Lenny...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
