Geek Youtube - We Code Hard.

Came across this clip on Twitter.  I have so much respect for Coders and System Administrators.  Really love this clip although its specific referencing to Java is a bit blah!

Hip Hoppin geeks y0!  <3

8 Bit Friday - whoops Saturday?

I didn't do my 8bit Friday post yesterday...  Not that I've had much personal time to wander the world of the internet and uncover new 8bit themed goodness.

I love stop motion, retro games & 8bit so really this clip is a combination of them all and total win!

I'm always on the look out for new 8bit themed clips of amusing, clever, flashbacky goodness, please feel free to share with me :-D

So I'm posting this one a little late.  

Ninja Moped - Insert Coin

I was impressed by the quality of the stop motion and at times questioned it's authenticity until I wasted the behind the scenes / making of.  It was a bit of a mood killer for me since I think they kinda cheated... but what the hey it still would have taken ages.

vSphere - VMWare

I know it's been a while, with Mr O.G being unavailable my geek lessons have been somewhat sparse.

Last weekend however, I was introduced to vmware's vSphere & ESX.  I had never seen, had need of nor used virtual machines so this was all completely new territory, having a bit of a poke around and introduction was pretty ace.

vSphere is pretty spiffy and the UI is really smooth and clean.  This little introduction lead into some rather informative conversation regarding security architecture and methods of ensuring secure environments.

Not really a lot to report on the matter... other than "hey cool I get it now"
