The question of electric vehicles is vexing to someone like me. With manufacturers announcing their intent to reduce or even eliminate internal combustion engines (ICE) in favour of electric vehicles (EV) in the next few years this question came into relatively sharp focus in the last 6 months or so. So I had to ask myself; is an electric car in my immediate future?

How on Earth do I WFH?
So I figured it’d be best since we’re all apparently shut-ins for the immediate future to give my friends some words of wisdom.

Recently shopping for new hardware… partly my new game PC but also an updated Plex server for home. Can I just say that considering that Moore’s Law is long since dead, I continue to marvel at and be amazed by the fact that my 5 year old i7-based laptop is now handily matched (and in some ways beaten by) a brand new i3 in a NUC that burns about 1/6

Today on a friend’s Facebook feed I saw an article on “Co-Living” or “PodSharing”. My immediate reaction was “WTF?” https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/05/success/podshare-co-living/index.html This… is just unreal.

Well, I hit an interesting issue with VMotion in VMware vCenter. Funnily enough it seems eerily similar to a problem reported on Twitter last week by @joefarri.

They seemed to be set up OK, and even seemed to have no removable devices
