The following is speedtest of a iPhone 3G vs iPhone 3Gs on a wireless connection on cable.

Woo go 3Gs!

So I tried out a beta test of moblin.

I got to say its interesting idea, I like the way the OS actually thinks it should work. While it doesn't work the way it wants to, if it does the OS will be great.

I put it on my dell mini 9. I could not install packages (installs via yum but all the package signatures were bad)

X11 left a lot of artifacts on the display.

No sshd :(

I couldn't mount any remote file system.

Couldn't playing anything from last.fm

I could tweet, but could not see the full line of what I was typing :)

So you decide to increase the disk size in VMWare Fusion cause your running out of space or you just like to have room to breathe.

You head on to the settings of your VM and click on your Hard Disk and drag the slider across. W00t your done... um no.

Here's how I did it.

First after I increased the disk in the vmware via the settings gui and fired up the Leopard Terminal. I needed to set the guest to boot into an ISO on start. I typed the following:


vi /Volumes/External.Disk/Centos5OpenVZHost.vmwarevm/Centos5OpenVZHost.vmx


3 servers, all built in under 20 seconds. All different OS's, Gentoo, Ubuntu and SuSe.

Only problem I had is Gentoo didn't start sshd on boot. Easily fixed thanks to HyperVM's "send command". Did a /etc/init.d/sshd start and boom in the box.

I can't believe how cool this is.

Virtualize within an already virtualized host, yes, why? who knows.

Here's what you will need:
A Mac running 10.5 (Leopard)
VMWare Fusion
Centos Install ISO
Ubuntu OpenVZ Image
Time
Coffee
Lack of sanity

Let's get to my crazy directions, which might or might not work :) (they did for me)

Vmware Fusion install of CentOS 5.2 using netinstall image (7.2MB :) )

HTTP Install with the following values
Web site Name: mirror.centos.org

No he really does, he wouldn't give the bottle back!

My Mom sent me this for Easter. Yay Sackboy, go Mom!

At Dinah friends wedding. We're immortalized as little wooden people :).

Way too much fun. I've been giggling ever since I tried this.

Got my NetFlix player by Roku today. Man its great. I have it hooked up by crappy composite and it still looks great. Movies come up right away, you can pause, skip chapters etc.

The device emits no noise, has wireless/wired lan ability and took about 5 minutes to set up including unboxing it.

All this for 9.99 a month (I have the Netflix subscription where you get 1 DVD per month)

America can be pretty cool sometimes, when it comes to gadgets!
