Today is the day to celebrate Pi!
Didn’t know that? Us either. According to PiDay.org March 14th is the day we all celebrate Pi.
I’m personally going to celebrate eating some Pie, and then using Pi to calculate the pie’s measurements.
I know, pretty sad.

My good friend Jake and I trucked up to new york and were sitting pretty close to where this camera is to watch this speech. We were fairly new to Linux at this point, the year before I was RedHat certified for the first time and only about 4 years prior to this speech I installed my first Slackware system (it was on a stack of floppies and took about 12 hours to install).
This was the conference where we came home with about 20 pounds of giveaways. Ahh, the good ol days.
Watch it here:

He talks quite a bit about Unix fragmentation. It’s striking in 2008 how fragmented Linux has become.
He also says, in 2000, Java is dying.

Oreilly has a pretty good article on what’s exciting in FreeBSD 7.
We’re big fans of Sun’s ZFS file system which is working well for us in the RC versions of FreeBSD 7.

I switched to Firefox 3 on all of my machines. The page rendering speed improvements are so dramatic that there’s no way I can go back to “stable” versions.
It’s almost as fast as Safari. Almost.

This is more information on why you’d ever need, but I like to hear Linus talk.

We’ve been working on a new project for a while now and we’re ready to start having users. we’d appreciate you checking it out, sending us feedback and blogging about it. Here’s the short short version of BonfireJOBS:
Get paid to find a job. No really.
BonfireJOBS is a new website that rewards candidates for prompt, courteous responses to employer requests.
Post a resume – leave off contact information. Employers who can search our database for free will find you. If they want to make a connection, they will use our system to contact you.
Respond in 24-hours and they pay your price – just for making a connection with them. We’ll mail you a check once a month.
Refer your friends – you can refer both candidates and employers to BonfireJOBS. If you do, you’ll get a piece of the service charge we charge employers on each transaction. By the way, the benefit is mutual, we are giving the person you refer a piece for joining through your referral.
Send feedback to info@bonfirejobs.com.
