Bookpool: Windows NT Shell Scripting

Best Windows shell scripting book out there. This book is useful so you can write quick, useful scripts on a standard build system.

Perl on Windows is very useful as well, but you have to install ActiveState or a similar Perl install before you can run Perl scripts.

Benchmarking BSD and Linux

Benchmarking BSD and Linux

Linux 2.4/2.6 kernel, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD showdown. I'm probably sticking with FreeBSD because that appears to be the easiest for me to manage, but I will continue to test OpenBSD and NetBSD for security and stability.

Summary:

"Linux 2.6 scales O(1) in all benchmarks. Words fail me on how impressive this is. If you are using Linux 2.4 right now, switch to Linux 2.6 now!

FreeBSD 5.1 has very impressive performance and scalability. I foolishly assumed all BSDs to play in the same league performance-wise, because they all share a lot of code and can incorporate each other's code freely. I was wrong. FreeBSD has by far the best performance of the BSDs and it comes close to Linux 2.6. If you run another BSD on x86, you should switch to FreeBSD!

Linux 2.4 is not too bad, but it scales badly for mmap and fork.

NetBSD 1.6.1 was treated unfairly by me because I only tested the stable version, not the unstable source tree. I originally only wanted to benchmark stable versions, but deviated with OpenBSD and then with FreeBSD. I should have upgraded NetBSD then, too. Nonetheless, NetBSD feels snappy, performs well overall, although it needs work in the scalability department, judging from the old version I was using. Please note that NetBSD was the only BSD that never crashed or panicked on me, so it gets favourable treatment for that.

OpenBSD 3.4 was a real stinker in these tests. The installation routine sucks, the disk performance sucks, the kernel was unstable, and in the network scalability department it was even outperformed by it's father, NetBSD. OpenBSD also gets points deducted for the sabotage they did to their IPv6 stack. If you are using OpenBSD, you should move away now. "

It took me forever to find this download link. I'm updating my MobilePro 770 for wireless support. Pocket Outlook is brain dead because it doesn't support separate authentication for your SMTP connection (my mail server requires this and its the only way to really have a server secure and not use IP filtering), also H/PC 3.0 doesn't have telnet, ping and other tools.

The MacArthur Fellows Program

The MacArthur Fellows Program

The thing that is special about the MacArthur grants is that there are no restrictions or reporting requirements associated with the grants. Also, from past experience, the recipients have always used the windfall to good advantage.

From the web site:
"The MacArthur Fellows Program places no restrictions on how recipients may use the $500,000, and no reports are required. Rather, the stipend is an expression of confidence that the recipients know how to make best use of the Fellowship�s resources and the visibility it can bring to advance their distinctive efforts. Just as there are no restrictions on how the Fellows use their awards, there are no constraints on the kinds of creativity that are recognized."
