Really, really need to take some time to play with cfengine.
Had a funny thought about Apple (of the garden) being treated like a religion, “meticulous management of customer experience” (i.e., “herding the flock”), and suddenly it’s now the Rapture.

Would be nice to have a ping command with a configurable (via command line switches) exponential weighted moving average for packet loss. That way, you could watch some statistics on loss over intervals while running from a command line, and not just be interpreting loss for the time since you started the command an hour (day/week/whatever) earlier.

Companies are like evolving living organisms. Think of the dotcoms – they are the genetic offspring of business and the internet – two different families in the genetic hierarchy of “things”. They areimpacted by their environment (which businesses and the Internet are also kind of a part of… maybe not entirely unlike nature/nurture), but also by microorganisms like employees. Employees certainly represent the cells and systems of the business organism, but also viruses that impact the development of the organism. That may lead to the collapse (“extinction”?) of certain types of, or even individual businesses, as viral organisms overtake them and make them unfit for survival in their environment. Interesting train of thought, could easily develop into an entire post of its own.
