"Mark, It's an honor to be mentioned, thank you! That list is not complete, until at least one more name is added, ----> Mark Dykeman. I'm looking forward to 2009. I think it's going to be a real interesting year in the social media space. Your proposal for 2009 is very modest. It's inspired me to add a few more thoughts, which I will follow up on an upcoming post. You are a tremendous an invaluable resource to me, and so many others. That speaks volumes, so thanks again :)" - Mike Fruchter

“Have you ever seen such a well cabled datacenter? ;)”
lotsa cables 2.jpg
Tuesday at 3:02 am - Link
Whoa, where is that? - Rob Hoeting
The original Google datacenter in '99 :) - Paul Buchheit
One of the consequences of factoring in component failure in your every move: you can save the cases, stuff's going to break anyway ;) - Mustafa K. Isik
This design turned out to be somewhat nightmarish. It was eventually cleaned up (we had a "cabling fest") and by now the designs are quite slick, though still very unconventional. I wish Google would publish more about their hardware, because it's very interesting. - Paul Buchheit
i have! it was even color coded, cables of different colors - Joelle Nebbe
WHEN CABLES GO BAD! I used to have a similar problem and the only way to trace cables was to put a small binder clip over the wire and push it along. - Stephen Pierzchala
Cables Gone Wild! woo hoo! gees that is bad. Paul YES I too wish Google published their IT Infrastructure / hardware info - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
pretty sure their current IT infrastructure involves genetically-modified human brains soaking in some kind of nutrient bath. - Karim
Personally seen much much worse. - Chris W
yap i seen so much worser than this pic .... :D - zos
BTW, I believe this is the same generation of hardware found in the Computer History Museum (they have the jj rack, as I recall). - Paul Buchheit
Paul: I've been inside a Google datacenter. They are a thing of beauty now. I've always wanted to interview the team that is responsible for doing those and get some video. - Robert Scoble
That's how it would look if it was set up at my house. - Gabe
I worked in a server room that look like that too - all those spagetti cabling craziness. - imabonehead
Robert - YES do video interview with Google DC Infrastructure brains! :) - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
How long would it take to fix if you pulled out just one cable?Or plugged it into the wrong socket? - Alistair
Neatly labeled I see ;) - Cam MacRae
I've seen worse, much owrse - Amit Morson
Spaghetti anyone? - Håkan Dahlström
Here are some pics of a datacenter I put together for a client back in 2003 with some pretty insane cabling. With this much cabling, it was too hard to manage without automation. So I built some tools that allowed me to plan for rapid growth (i.e 20 server SAN jumped to 120+ while we were building out) http://bit.ly/9Q7O - Jauder Ho
Grunt: OK boss, I've got a new cable crimped. Where do you want it? Boss: Server 99,9999 port 1. See it? I'll see you in a week. Grunt: &^* - Shane
"Employees dismantling sections of Google's original data center discovered the decaying corpse of an engineer tangled in a web of network patch cables, police reported today. The mostly-skeletal remains have not been conclusively identified, though the victim appeared to have been wearing a 'Banyan Vines' t-shirt. While forensic tests have yet to be completed, the County Medical Examiner has estimated the date of death to be 'sometime around the 1999, 2000 timeframe.'" - Karim
"A police spokeperson said foul play was not suspected, adding, 'Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've seen this. The Internet was growing so rapidly back then, these things just happened. Someone goes in to work on a patch panel, and they get tangled up. It's sad. And I don't blame Google for not noticing -- their headcount was growing rapidly too. One or two engineers go missing, nobody notices. I bet the poor bastard is still getting direct deposit on his paychecks.'" - Karim
A spokesperson for Google referred to the grisly discovery as "a regrettable loss, but not a single point of failure," and added that engineers are currently required to use "the buddy system" to work in pairs when cabling servers. - Karim
Karim, you owe me a keyboard sir! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Looks like spaghetti. - Rochelle
I've seen worse. Karim, that was funny! :D - AJ Batac
We'd like to see FriendFeed's datacenter pics! - AJ Batac
Datacenter is the new black - Burak Arikan
Most datacenters I've ever been in don't allow photography. The exception was the Stanford Linear Accelerator data center that Scoble got me into: http://www.flickr.com/photos/t... - Thomas Hawk
AJ, we're trying to avoid spending too much money, so our datacenter pictures would be a lot less interesting than Google's. Here's a photo of one of our servers though: http://friendfeed.com/e/136525... - Paul Buchheit

5 Sickening Habits of Mainstream Websites
Show all
November 12 at 12:34 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
I've begun to notice this more and more recently - articles that have no business being split are spread across several pages. Are we losing the ability to scroll or something? - Slippy Lane
By paging even short articles they probably aim to increase page view count, ad-hits etc on the expense of usability. Cheap. - Jemm
I think they're trying to generate more pageviews and ad impressions. - Jess Lee
i hate it and sometime even move away from the page when websites split articles into multiple pages ... - Raza via Alert Thingy
it is all about impressions. Some sites (like NYTimes.com mobile) give you a link to view the full text of the article on one page. Normally I use that option especially when on my mobile as I do not like waiting for next page to load. - Davide D'Incau
They forgot to add that when they have RSS feeds, they are not full text feeds. Partials really annoy me. Oh and media content that does not appear properely or play in an RSS reader/Google Reader - Ian D. Nock
Can I add the thing I hate more than anything? Vibrant ads. Those underlined words that pop-up a lame ad over the very thing you are trying to read. Yeah, those suck. Thank FSM for GreaseMonkey. - Michael Saul
I don't even bother anymore, I just skip to the printable version. - Erica Baker
I head right for the printable view as well. - abacab
Paging sucks. - Thomas Hawk
Duncan, stop Bitching! LMAO - Igor The Troll
Its time ad impressions stopped driving the design. - Pranav Bhasin
All great points/annoyances. Pop-ups and registrations are my biggest frustrations. - Jill Howard Allen
There has to be a balance. Pagination is good for page views but if an article is long it often helps readability as well. Sadly, when presented a long article, many just walk away. Chunking it makes it bite size, which doesn't overwhelm users and gives them a sense of accomplishment from finishing a page. Clearly shorter pieces shouldn't be paginated, but the attention span of the average user is ... - AJ Kohn
They won't listen to this, even if they believe 'Content is KING', they won't change their habits. Use the site and the real-estate of the site intelligently and the crowd will flock. But they won't do it. Mostly, I prevent visiting such a site and read via RSS or something. But how about those who don't give full article on RSS. And its right, I have never clicked on Ads, ever. - Jayavasanthan J
Sounds like we need a Firefox plugin or Greasemonkey script that will ping a server, find out if the page you're on has a "Print" link to the article, and display that instead of the original page. Printable versions are actually still pretty usable these days. - Jeff Eddings
I'm personally boycotting sites that throw interstitial pages up before showing the article -- I think they don't value me as a user. - Jeff Eddings
they are all still stuck on the pageview model, and will be so until their advertisers and ABC ratings move into the 21st century. By 2015 perhaps - Joelle Nebbe
I hate when they do that... Or when I'm at work and CNN, for example, has a headline that links only to a video, with no transcription. Seriously CNN, I can't always sit and watch a video at work, especially since I share my workspace with other people. - Adam C.
all big blogs seem to do this, blame it on google ads - Gregory Lent
@Gregory, that doesn't make sense. What's stopping someone from tossing 10 Google ads along the vertical of a page instead of 2 ads on 5 pages? - Rudolf Olah
but what can they do when their advertisers use page views as a way to choose who they advertise on? ABC should be smarter but their rankings use that as well. If you dont do it, you end up being considered "too small" for many campaigns. - Joelle Nebbe
the trick: go to the "print" view to get the article all on one page. - Joelle Nebbe
I love you Duncan Riley. :) I think it all boils down to this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/... - Patricia
What is the FF extension that puts all the separate pages into one? - Alex Williams
grr articles like that are not worth paging through. My mousewheel works fine, thanks. - Alan Le

Proof that Dems too are nostalgic for culture wars and miss their dysfunctional relationship the nuts of the right. They deserve each other. - Dave Winer
For some reason, this is reminding me why Wings of Desire is my favorite movie. What you think does matter, it's great to be human, love can transcend. - Rodfather
This was the Shark Jump Moment for O'mann. His asshole quotient is way too high (the ratio of drama to substance). He was great when railing against the Iraq war, but this is too much. MSNBC should cut their losses and let Rachel go to 2 hours every night. Let Mathews go too. - Dave Winer
这老兄真激动,颇有黄健翔的激情。我支持同性恋。well done! - pestwave
Dave, I think that you are creating a lot of the drama yourself. I don't see the dems tearing themselves apart over this. There just happen to be a lot of people who are upset at taking rights away from people. - Dion Almaer
I agree that his tone of perpetual indignant outrage gets kind of old, but he also makes some good points. - Paul Buchheit
He fails to understand how they can vote that way because he thinks about the issue rationally. - Matthew Maroon
Olbermann has his own style, I kinda agree with Paul that his 'outrage' seems a bit put on, he can do whatever he likes 'cause he's good. - Will Higgins
Dave -- not sure you can call outrage over a fundamental civil rights issue as something the Dems want to push as a culture war. I know people both on the right and left against prop 8 and feel passionately about it. - Grant Gochnauer

Thank you, Nestle. * Children at birth should be taken from their mothers and stored in nurseries. * All boys should all be circumcised at birth. So much for the Hippocratic oath: “First, do no harm.” * Tonsilitis” was a disease, and every severely sore throat should be treated surgically, involving removal of adenoids from the nose as well. * Intestinal infections were likely to be appendicitis, so the appendix had to go too. * Education is a manufacturing process, the purpose of which is to fill the empty vessels of childrens’ heads with curricula approved by the State. * Childrens’ intelligence — their most unique and human quality — was a fixed quantity (a “quotient”) that could be measured, as if by a dipstick, with IQ tests, so herds of students could be sorted into bell curves to better manage their progress through systems that regarded t - Gregory Lent via Bookmarklet
