[Kevin Kelly]: The Best Magazine Articles Ever →

I’m a sucker for the current leaderboard—DFW, Talese, Rosenbaum—but also the idea of Kevin Kelly hosting the list. Despite a haphazard entry into journalism via technology, I’ve read more of these, and recognize the journalists behind them, than I would have guessed.
…I now have at least 10 new tabs open and the page bookmarked. I’ll need another vacation to get through them all.

I have Instapapered this list so I can individually Instapaper them in turn later because if I did them all at once now it would just push me over the edge.

Took her long enough.
My brother got a DroidX.

- Far fewer piles of dog poop to clean up.
- Using about half the dog food we used to.

Microsoft couldn’t make a decent command-line tool to save their life.
The last two days we’ve been fighting some attacks on one of our M$ servers. The logfiles grow so quickly they fill up the volume, and we can’t keep up with them. Windows won’t let us access the log files directly without stopping services because the files are “in use”, so we have to take the application down to even see what is going on. Even then, the log files are so huge no application can open them in less than a day.
The answer? Mount the volume from a Mac, and live tail the log file in terminal.
How does any sysadmin, even a Windows sysadmin, survive without a Mac these days? And how is Microsoft still in business?
(EDIT: AND THIS.)
