“As the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk.

Me? I’m just a lawnmower. You can tell me by the way I walk.”

Genesis - “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)”

Well, there’s a turnip for the books. Last couple of days, I’ve twittered a random lyric that I’d either been listening to or just popped into my head. Imagine my surprise when I started getting TONS of feedback from people who either liked the lyric and wanted to know the song, hated it, or anything in between. So, I thought to myself, I could do a lot worse than just blat a fave lyric on here once a day. Shouldn’t be too difficult. So, without further ado:

“You’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan,
Designed and directed by his red right hand.”

- Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, “Red Right Hand”

This is either the most loltastic lolcat EVER or the most terrifying thing since The Grudge.

I don’t often repeat internet memes in a public place, but I felt I had to make an exception for this one.

Ok, so I have a couple of Solaris LDOMs running on a big über-core SPARC T5240. I also have a pile of old E220s, Netras and 450s running an Oracle based webapp that I’m migrating to LDOMs as a proof of concept.

Except they’re on separate networks and the gateway is a little linux box. Annoyingly, when I try to blatt 13Gb of data from one of the netras over to the T5240, though, the gateway box mysteriously loses its routing tables half way through the transfer and one of the ipaliases vanishes.

It’s a bit annoying.
