What's kvm, you ask?  Some kind of virtual keyboard/mouse thingy?  No, it's the Kernel Virtual Machine.  It's basically like vmware.  It's actually a modified qemu that uses hardware virtualization (and only hardware virtualization; if you don't have Intel ... http://gryniewicz.com/blogs/dang/2008/07/08/kvm-in-the-tree/  D&D 4 is coming out, and it's supposed to be a huge change from previous versions.  I love D&D, so I'm curious.

It seems like every time I turn around, I'm out of space. Who'd have thought, just a year ago, that 120G wouldn't be close to enough? I'd like to get a bigger hard drive, but it's a laptop, so thats slightly complicated. ... http://gryniewicz.com/blogs/dang/2008/05/21/full-again/ Morgan turned 4 on Sunday: http://gryniewicz.com/blogs/dang/2008/05/20/happy-birthday-morgan/ Okay, so you can't have a middling epic fail. :P However, it's certianly a middling fail, either in UI design or in features.

I emerged it, ... http://gryniewicz.com/blogs/dang/2008/05/16/middling-epic-fail/ So, I've decided to try github to host my scripts repo. The new URL is git://github.com/dang/scripts.git I'll see how I like it. If it's not any good, I'll switch back to my self-hosted repo. So far, it's pretty nice. Fortunately, due to the wonders of distributed version control, I ... http://gryniewicz.com/blogs/dang/2008/04/14/github/ Okay, since all the cool kids are doing it, I'll bite: [09:40 athena] ~> history|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}'|sort -rn|head 52 cd 45 vim 32 sudo 29 git 29 emerge 26 ls 26 eix 21 rm 21 ebcd 10 ll Note, the next couple are: 10 equery 9 vcs 8 svn 8 genlop 7 ssh 7 gecd Apparently, I do tons of Gentoo work... http://gryniewicz.com/blogs/dang/2008/04/11/history-meme/ We are finally offically Comcast Free(tm)! It feels so good. Thanks to U-verse, we've been able to get rid of Comcast, get more content (yes, even more HD content, dispite what Comcast advertises on their own cable channels), and pay less for TV + Internet than we were paying ... http://gryniewicz.com/blogs/dang/2008/03/12/bye-comcast/
