Seeing a virtual machine purring along is a thing of beauty. OpenQRM is a fantastic web based package for managing your system, private cloud and virtualization technologies. It integrates seamlessly with both KVM and XEN.   So, here's a brief HOW TO for installing OpenQRM on Ubuntu Server 9.10. This HOW TO assumes you've already [...]

At the moment I'm a little torn. I'm not sure whether to feel upset or happy but I'm guessing it'll settle on a mixture of both.   On one hand, I don't feel as screwed over as the Wachowski Wangs made me feel. But on the other, I'm left with a sort of empty feeling. [...]

Hi,   You don't know me and I don't know you. Now, I know that doesn't stop you from assuming that I'm just as ignorant and racist as you are but please don't.   If you should see me in the street handing a South African flag to a child or putting flags on my [...]

When I work I inevitably watch bad movies. It helps me pass the time and I know I don’t have to spare too much attention in order to get by.   So far I’ve had: Deep Blue Sea – 5/10 Terrible plot, horrible CGI but Samuel L Jackson has a great moment. Screamers – 3/10 [...]

So, I’ve been working on and off on a number of sites that are my own personal projects (as if I didn’t have enough to do).   Lately though, I’ve been slacking a little – hence the stagnation that is BlogNation.co.za. No more of that though. This is the time that I’ve started working.   [...]
