I was reading through a company’s terms of service when I come across this:

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Under no circumstances shall the company be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, internet failures, computer equipment failures, telecommunication equipment failures, other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labor disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labor or materials, fires, floods, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental actions, non-performance of third parties, or loss of or fluctuations
in environmental factors.

Yes, it’s an internet company. Won’t tell you what company it is, hahaa… But it’s not hard to guess.

God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day. (Psalms 7:11)

You see, sometimes, servers can be involved indirectly to man’s sin. Through the wrath of God may His people shun the sinful nature of those servers.

I love it when a software has a good and catchy name but I love it more when a software has a name that looks funny in the a Linux install command:

A Better Way to Monitor

God is an easy to configure, easy to extend monitoring framework written in Ruby.

Keeping your server processes and tasks running should be a simple part of your deployment process. God aims to be the simplest, most powerful monitoring application available.

God is useful, learn more about god.

Korean retailer, GODpeople Mall, introduces the Microsoft Church Package. Pastors and reverends can now get excited for a lower fee:

Microsoft is probably not involved in this. The Microsoft Church Package consists of the Microsoft Office Standard, Office OneNote, Office Visio, Office Publisher and Expression Web for 199,000 won, which is roughly USD$190. The Microsoft Office Standard retails at 99,000 won (around USD$95).

Hi all.

As you all are aware, we have new tenants that have moved into the 2nd floor suites. The access to the server room is now via the women’s bathroom.

There will be a sign on the woman’s door that can be changed from OPEN to CLOSED and vice versa.

Should you need to enter the server room, please change the sign to CLOSED. Once you are done, please change it back to OPEN.

Once you enter the bathroom, you will be able to access the server room via the handicapped stall. Please close the stall door prior to entry, just in case someone doesn’t see that the bathroom is closed.

I know this isn’t ideal, but if we adhere to this protocol, I don’t think anyone will be disrupted.

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

I… favor certain set of numbers. Certain numbers make me feel at ease while some made me feel slightly uneasy. I can control these feelings so there is no point flashing the number ‘9′ at me to piss me off.

I wonder if any one else has the same feeling when they look at numbers. I like 2, 5, 7, 12 and 1024 in particular. No, I did not like 1024 because it’s 2**10 (two to the power of ten). I like the number before I even had a computer. Hmmmp, could it be destiny?

This irks me a little, my computer sometimes show p.m. instead of a.m. and a.m. instead of p.m. It’s just strange. The time and everything is correct. I use the 12-hour clock instead of the 24-hour. (You are an army freak if you use the 24-hour clock.)

So two in the afternoons would be 2 p.m. instead of 14:00. Anyway, my computer would switch to 2 a.m. when it’s 2 p.m. sometimes. It might be something to do with Ubuntu settings. It didn’t seem to occur until I use Ubuntu and revert to Windows Vista. Something just messed up my clock somehow.

Anyway, did you know that a.m. and p.m. stands for ante meridiem (a.m., Latin “before noon”) and post meridiem (p.m., “after noon”) respectively? I remember asking my primary school teacher before and he couldn’t answer. We didn’t have Wikipedia that time, hahaa…

Why would someone search this type of thing? I get 60 visits the past month from people search this. One of the strange keywords in this blog.
