If you haven't heard the news yet, SCO got fucked. Heh. Point and laugh. I nearly fell over laughing when I read this:
According to Judge Kimball's ruling, Microsoft paid SCO approximately $16 million for license rights and Sun paid approximately $10 million. SCO neglected to turn over the licensing fees to Novell, which "gave SCO its first profitable year in history," Kimball notes.
Props to Kimball.
Today, I'm working on capacity planning. Capacity planning is by far one of my least favorite aspects of my jobs. It's an exercise in futility, in my opinion. It reminds me of shopping for pants. I find the perfect cute pair, and then I'm reminded of how much soda i drink, leading to the question "Will these pants fit me a year from now?" Capacity planning for large networks like I'm responsible for now is the exact same way. Will this number of servers still properly support my butt after so many late night coding sessions? Hmm.
