Going through some old scans from last year (bit of a back log). Here is one I took of Kevin Rose (digg.com founder) when I took him out for Chaunr after a regrettably too lately planned and informed tweetup that prevented the execution of some serious piss cutting out on the town. :-s

Yay! Go read www.beijinglug.org for more. Now if only IDG could put on a half decent Linux World instead of the token crap they excrete out like a constipated hippo.

I got to go and stick my nose about a nice “Olympic Quality” (whatever that means) CNC data centre last night as my team and I ripped up and put back together a new clients ailing cluster. This place had official Olympic logo’s all over the place! And nice toilets – a rudimentary western yard [...]

CANDIS has been running out of their own pocket a CentOS mirror for almost a year now. The first in Beijing and second in China. We have been trying to get the FIRST fedora mirror in China up and it is nigh to impossible. Everyone in China complains of how hard it is to get [...]
