He seems to love to work.
He is Super Dave.

about me
I'm a geek, more or less. I mostly read technical journals, get easily sidetracked by civil rights issues, work too much. My personal outlets are exercise, mostly running in the Oakland Hills or going to the MIT gym with Carolyn. The acquaintances I see most often all work for UAL.
Megeve Ski Resort
( local favorites » parks & recreation )
"A very large resort with excellent services and great terrain"
Megeve was developed by the Rothschild's after they grew disenchanted with St. Moritz. It is a bit fancy as a ski resort with the in-town shops catering more to the high end. Prices are a little out of control during the French holiday season in...

Simpson's Restaurant
( local favorites » restaurants )
"Simpson's Excellent BBQ and Soul Food"
Simpson's restaurant in East Oakland is a little gem. The food is great (especially the ribs) and very plentiful. We usually get ribs and chicken, both excellent. Of the sides, our favorite is the yams and cornbread muffins.
The portions ar...

What the BLEEP Do We Know?
( miscellaneous » movie reviews )
"The whole concept is based on a misunderstanding"
The premise of the movie is that consciousness and therefore humanity holds some privileged place within quantum mechanics, a concept known as the observer paradox. This is predicated on a misunderstanding of the Copenhagen theory of quantum mech...

Once, years ago, a girlfriend was visiting me at the semiconductor test equipment mfg company I was consulting to while I was stuck late finishing some experiments. She grew restless and hungry, not being geek enough to find the test gear in and of itself interesting. The kitchenette was stocked with only the usual bad coffee gear--ultra-pasteurized cream cups, sugar packets, and bad coffee. I asked if she wanted some ice cream and she thought I was teasing.
I took one of the vacuum insula...

You gotta learn when it's time for your thread to yield;
It shoulda slept; instead you stepped and now your fate is sealed.
I'll take your process off the run queue without even asking
'Cause my flow is like reentrant and preemptive multita...

I've been bringing up a surplus Netfinity 5500 M20 I got on ebay really cheap. The guy probably lost $100 on shipping, the machine is huge. It's entirely impractical for a home server, but who can resist that many blinky lights.
I'm running FreeBSD 6.2. There have been some hiccups and I thought I'd put any solutions into some searchable text somewhere... like here... just in case anyone else is scrounging surplus big iron.
The basic configuration is a quad xeon 500 machine with ...

Some time ago John Allen Paulos wrote a review ( abcnews.go.com/Technology/story of an entertaining article examining the economics of prostitution ( www.iies.su.se/seminars/p...dlund.pdf). The article sparked outrage amongst certain self-appointed social commentators, an outrage only supported by misreading Paulos' ABC article and not taking the time to read the original article. I thought that was a little unfair, and wrote the following:

Carolyn and I saw Shortbus a few days ago, and Jesus Camp not long before that; what a double feature...
Two groups that seem to think they've found the keys to happiness, to nirvana, to social and spiritual fulfillment. One does so by a radical devotion to Christianity, the other by a devotion to a radical sexuality. Each is outside the mainstream, each amusing when viewed from the outside.
But only one is scary: the radical fundamentalists in Jesus Camp see their life's work to chan...
