Journal Journal: Why a Job Scheduler?

After working for a famous free software company I realized that among all solutions for production administration tools, there's no option on scheduling as Unix Administrators are used to.

Ok, we have crontab. But it has nothing really useful to job scheduling but running scripts at the right time. There are no control on what happened, there's no controle on how long did it take, there's no control even if it was really executed.

Journal Journal: Live and let live

In times when cleverness is missing and the war is as near as 40 year ago I remembered an old song. It might remember many the rippies, but for me it remembers the peace propoused by them and the passive resistence against the war (Vietnam in that time, Korea and Iraq now a days)

  • Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

    Remember me to one who lives there

Journal Journal: Where is the Matrix? 1

When I first have heard about The Matrix I refused to read any kind of article, synopsis or critic about the movie, I just went to the nearest movie theater and watched it (one of the best movies I have ever watched). I loved it, and since then I've been wainting for Matrix Reloaded.

Now I know that Matrix Reloaded will be launched in May 15th. But why waiting all this time to release a single movie? Isn't 4 years enough?

Journal Journal: mini-pub waking up 1

Two weeks after my new year resolutions, I'm already seeing results. ;o)

mini-pub is waking up. I submited several modifications and its activity raised to 60%. That's good, mainly because I still haven't released a new version and no news were posted anywhere.

Journal Journal: I love this game

I know that this can sound conceited, but this was one of the best comments I have ever done. It's about stupid linking polices and a German lawyer fighting against them. Take a look.

Here is the comment:

Journal Journal: New Year's (2003) Resolutions

Every new year is the same old sh*t. We always want to do more then we have done in the past, and we always make new resolutions (I mean, they're always the same :o)
