All right, knock it off, VCS. ...wait, not that way!!!

When things go wrong with your Oracle DB, someone has to ignore the problem ;)

Given the unintended theme of this week, enjoy some of Larry Wall's Insights.

One of the coolest Perl pictures I've seen - with a twist!

References may belong in an encyclopedia, but what purpose do they serve in Perl?

Shepherding the safety of your data by keeping the sheep confused ;)

Today we're going to take a look at a part of Perl that a lot of folks shy away from; mostly because (from my experience) they feel it's too abstract a notion or too complicated to understand. But, if you know a guy who knows a guy, you already understand this concept ;-)

Oh, no. There goes Tokyo... Forget about using Mozilla with Wget ;) Today's post is a follow up to some questions we've received about our previously posted scripts designed to allow you to find your search index rank on Google, Yahoo, MSN/Live and Ask.com.

Now that the big 4 are done, we can get on with our lives ;) Ah, finally. Here we are. Regular readers will remember our previous entries in this series for finding your search index ranking on Google, MSN/Live and Yahoo We've finally gotten around to Ask and, with this script, that should be that... until one or any combination of them change their source.

Google with a dialect: You ph33l1n6 lu(ky?

If you're going to commit to something big, do it now when no one expects you to follow through ;)

Hope everyone has a great night and, please, browse safely ;)

These Easter eggs are all pretty cool, but the bunny's staying home ;) Today, since it's just past Christmas and almost New Year's, I figured this would be a great time to trot out some Linux and/or Unix Easter eggs. Actually, it doesn't make sense at all, but if you can put aside your burnt-in sense of the chronological order of the holidays, these can still be fun.

Another search engine; another algorithm. When will it all make sense? ;)

Reminds Me Of The Good Ole Dot Com Days ;)

By the time you read this, Christmas will be over. Thanks to the staggered posting system we have here, this joke is post-dated. Despite that, however, we here would like to have wished you and yours a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays.

Seasons greetings to one and all :)

This post is more of an expansion, than a follow-up, to our May 2008 post on using who to find out what and when on Linux and Unix (picking only the options that appeared in most distro's version of "who"). It's also a bit more restrictive than our previous post, as we're restricting the discussion to newer Solaris' (8/9/10) implementation of the classic command.
