I just got through a fantastic short story, When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth. I came across the story via Wil Wheaton Dot Net. For those of you who watched Star Terk the Next Generation, Wil played Wesley Crusher. The story was quite moving, and anyone that has any sysadmin experience will appreciate it.
The 75th running of the ‘24 hour of Le Mans’ was this weekend, a sports car race held in France. It looks like experience and the ability to expect the unexpected came out on top once again. Audi won the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, tacking on an additional win to their seven-year [...]
In July of 2003 Spry moved into our first office space which we shared with NameIntelligence. It was quite a feeling of accomplishment at the time. It really helped us realize that we weren’t doing this as a hobby, or a side gig, that Spry was for real. If I recall properly at the time [...]
A quick update for everyone. Fedora 7 (apparently they have removed core from the name) and Ubuntu 7 (Feisty Fawn) are now available for installation on VPSLink. We will be adding a page to the Wiki in the next few days with more details on what is changing in our OS templates.

We’re still working on Ubuntu and will update the community as soon we have a hard ETA.
I stumbled across the Tux500 project this morning. “Our goal is simple: we want to collect community donations to enter a Linux sponsored car in the 2007 Indianapolis 500. We need your help! If less than 1% of the Linux community donates $1, this will happen… will you do your part?” As of writing [...]
I’m often asked about how Spry came into being. I’ve told the story many times, but have never taken the time to write it down.
Especially around Seattle people have heard of the name Spry. Spry was founded in the 90’s by a Seattleite by the name of David Pool. Spry was a software company and [...]
Many of you may have read Robert M. Pirsig’s ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values’. If you haven’t I highly suggest picking up a copy. The book is based on two motorcycle riders, representing two very different personalities — sort of the yin-yang of motorcycling.
“What does this have to do [...]
I wanted to let everyone know that we’ve very recently turned up gigabit connectivity with one of the nations leading Tier-1 providers, Time Warner Telecom. With the recent move to our new datacenter facility we’ve introduced lots of changes to the network including providers and hardware changes.
Our Cisco network has been further stabilized by fully [...]
