9/29    So, who was it that was taunting me by offering to donate a
        raid controller to MkVI, but won't tell me who you are?  -VP
        \_ I sent you an email just now.
        \_ The CSUA should have an alms box outside the office in Soda.
           You drop cash into the lockbox and your connection no longer
           fails after 6 keystrokes.  You could even sell indulgences.
           How much would it cost to increase my disk quota?

09/30 NOTICE:  EXPECT SIGNIFICANT SODA DOWNTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.  Due to
      all the recent crashes, we'll be moving to MkVI as soon as possible.
      An exact time and date have not been set for the transition, but due
      to the accellerated timetable, it may not be announced very far in
      advance.  /csua/tmp will not be saved.  You have been warned.  -mikeh

9/30    It seems like there are two categories of women in this world.

9/29    My company is trying to choose an external web server that
        offers cool stuff like servlet, JSP, EJB.  I am thinking about
        WebLogic, but then someone says Websphere is better... what would
        your recommendation be?
           \_ Apache or JigSaw
        \_ ask dbushong, geordan, or scotsman about how much they love
        __        __   _         _____
        \ \      / /__| |__  ___|  ___|__  __ _ _ __
         \ \ /\ / / _ \ '_ \/ __| |_ / _ \/ _` | '__|
          \ V  V /  __/ |_) \__ \  _|  __/ (_| | |
           \_/\_/ \___|_.__/|___/_|  \___|\__,_|_|

        \_ WebLogic is a good J2EE server, but I would use it as a web server.
           You should probably use Apache to serve your static pages and
           connect to WL for your J2EE needs.
        \_ My (limited) experience with websphere convinced me that it
           is really pokey and scales poorly.  -John
           \_ I wish it was pokey.  Then we might be able to debug it, but
              noooo.  From what I hear it runs well on AIX or NT, but don't
              try to run it on Solaris --dbushong
                \_ We ran on Solaris 2.6...I guess running an IBM product on a
                   Sun UNIX may not be optimal :-)  -john
