About the rhymes

Welcome!  Here I intend to gather and present findings.  These findings may be rare, though more likely they will be medium rare.  They will be gathered with fingers, ears, eyes, computers and dowsing rods.  They will then be processed by an ever changing algorithm designed to delight. Occasionally these findings may be misleading, as human communication often is. Please comment if you identify such tragedies.  Ultimately this is an experiment in blogging.  Stand by for the results.

    Your “i” should be “I.” I say this as a preschool teacher and this advice should not be taken lightly. Contrarily, it should be amended immediately.

    yep, you’ve identified my grammatical Achilles heal: lower case i’s

      I’m in favor of the lower case “i” unless it is beginning the sentence. I think the upper case i causes people to grow up thinking they’re the center of the universe.

    Hi Ken, my name is Matt Simmons. I found you on a twitter search for sysadmins. I dig your blog, and I’m subscribing, plus following you on twitter.

    Also, I’m guessing that you’re a sysadmin, and I see you’re in RedBank, so you might be interested to hear about a sysadmin conference in the area this spring. If you get a chance, check it out. It’s in New Brunswick, and the site is http://www.picconf.org.

    Thanks. I’m looking forward to reading more!

    A sysadmin conference in New Brunswick?! Thanks for the heads up Matt! I’ll be there! Just read your post on scripting* and I agree whole heartedly! I was a perl scripter until about 2 years ago when my company made a shift from perl to ruby. Thanks again! Oh and btw, my understanding of cat5e is more twists per inch for better interferance cancelling and thus higher data rates over longer distances.

    Hey cool, thanks for checking out the blog, and I think after about half a week of research, I can confirm that your summary of Cat5e is right on :-) The weirdness is that for regular Cat5, I can’t even find that a lot of things like twists-per-inch were defined in the standard. Of course, they might be in the nearly-$1000 doc, but I’m not going to find out ;-)

    Take care, and hopefully I’ll run into you at the conference! Drop me an email if you have any questions, or just want to shoot the bull.

    –Matt
