Is that Johnny in the Corner???!?!?!?

One of the sexiest things I have ever heard

Ok so maybe sexy isn't the best term for it but anyway here it is:

The ZFS file system uses 128-bit pointers. The minimum mass of a device capable of storing 2^128 bytes using atomic level storage would be about 272 trillion kilograms.


Also if you use Firefox and don't have a good download manager this one has been maxing out my cable modem (1.4Gigs in 30 min): DownThemAll!

Pumpkins are fun

We had to get some practice in. Expect bigger and better things near Halloween.

I guess some people are having trouble recognizing 'the cheat':

Forums are up

Not sure if anyone will ever use them and since this site is sort of a hodgepodge of stuff that isn't tied together I'm sure no one will look at them, but regardless, the Nerd Herd Forums are alive and kicking at
http://forum.nerdherdblog.com
I've added a link in the right sidebar.

Moving some stuff around

Just thought I'd let you all know that I moved the domain control of www.nerdherdblog.com to my dreamhost account. Before it was just set to redirect to this blogger page but now I've got dreamhost redirecting the www.nerdherdblog.com to blog.nerdherdblog.com which is where the blog portion of the site will be located. I'll also be adding a forums.nerdherdblog.com and possibly a gallery.nerdherdblog.com for forums & photos. It could take up to 3 days for all the dns settings to propagate through the series of tubes that is the internets. If you're still having trouble after that let me know.

Don't tase me!

Quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen all week (besides my brother's dormroom with 3 other freshman boys at UW). Here's a link in case you don't know the backstory.

Working on my 5 yr plan, just need to choose a font
