Another player & DM from back in HS days. Mostly fell off during college. Had to be the assortment of games. It was great exercise for the imagination and story crafting. Always had a peeve about campaigns stopping and falling apart. Seems many of those who had been in those campaigns felt computer equivalents were perfect for them.
Need to have these—
Interesting. Much competition and consolidation in the online learning space. Lynda.com started in creative and is branching to soft business skills and development. Lynda.com bought Compilr for $20M a few days ago—
Pluralsight previously acquired Trainsignal, and now this outfit for creative skills. Udemy, Coursera, and others are building their offerings. Good to know there is some sanity, as the buyout was $45M, not the crazy FB prices.
Previous Disk2VHD versions had "Fix up HAL for Virtual PC". Only vaguely heard it "cleans up stuff" by Aaron Margosis. Had not not used the tool without it. Weird the current versions don't have the checkbox.
Curious when the VHD was made, and how this turns out with VBox.
Ah, no shows. See it with roommates, LUGs, conventions, et al. Depending on the event, "flake rate" can be 40% to 60%. Unfortunate it happens with a job interview, more so a second interview...happens.

That, so that. Kind of a sign when there is a good & well known program to...**Decrap ** computers—
Seeing the topic of Linux firewalls for a person brand-new to Linux hit Slashdot yesterday (>cough< /. is slacking)—

Don't know e-box at all. Need to take a look I guess. Any killer feature?
Article was circa 2010. e-Box is now...Zentyal—
General thought to be alert for—
Monowall is bare bones. Seems often comes up as one people used to use. Guessing still valid for minimal hardware.
One from the TechRadar link noted as the "winner" was... e-Box (http://www.ebox-platform.com/) built off Ubuntu. Haven't tried it, am skeptical, not a first choice, but keeping an open mind.
Good ones have already been mentioned—Smoothwall Express; pfSense; Untangle; ClearOS—yet a couple more:

Great follow-up on that documentary John Carpenter made in 1982!

Been tossing this one out—
Part funny, part truth. Consider being in the candidate's shoes, those are the open ended questions. For what the company needs, a pre-interview test or some form of technical challenge can work. Depending on area, interviews are required to be standard to mitigate job hiring discrimination (written tests are good; conversations, less so).
Always interesting: If the candidate has post-interview follow-up.
@tfl Good perks for being a MVP? Many requirements asked of MVPs?
Found this for the Android tablet. Keeps the background fresh, and find myself often clicking the photos to see where they are from—

Cool, curious on people building "engineering journals", "operation handbooks", and/or "cheat sheets". Web pages & sites ain't lasting forever and all that. Figure it could be useful to review if/when going for a job interview.
Believe Grey is all about OneNote. Got couple people at work who cannot live without EverNote. Been pushing to see how to better integrate these (one or both) to a daily workflow.
