Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

VMWare Player

For all those Windows users out there that want to play around with Linux (or develop on it like I do), the fine folks at VMWare have release VMWare Player. The software lets you run a "Virtual Machine" inside your computer. You can install from a bunch of options, but I'm a fan on the linux one since you can have your own little linux server sitting in your Windows machine.

If you develop for the web (and your web server is a linux box) this is very handy because you can have a development/testing server sitting inside your work machine.

Just awesome.... (And yes, I'm that much of a geek)
