Santorum on CNN poll: ‘Hard work pays off’ →

Essentially, Santorum’s position appears to be that Romney is actually a liberal that doesn’t hate gay people enough and that Ron Paul is too crazy to be trusted with something like the Presidency, but that he is, because he TRIES REALLY HARD.

Huntsman on Iowa absence: 'They pick corn in Iowa' →

This will irritate a lot of people, but he’s absolutely right. The Iowa Caucuses have lost their significance, and with good reason: anyone considering Santorum, Bachmann and Gingrich for anything as important as the chief executive of our country may not have the sophistication to understand the job description.

Huntsman is the only GOP hopeful that could lead us anywhere you would want the country to go, which is precisely why his party will not nominate him. He’s the closest thing they have to a founding father and the type of citizen we should all strive to be, and they run screaming because of it.

a `zpool replace`

One of my new 1TB disks failed in my Hac a week ago, and my precious iTunes and iPhoto libraries and several VMs were nervously awaiting a replacement and hoping no further complications would throw a wrench in the works.

I got a replacement disk from Seagate and dropped it in, and for the first time on an OS X system watched a very easy rebuild and recovery:

  zpool replace oubliette GPTE_4DD9F29D-6391-4CFD-A999-3456660D89EC /dev/disk1s2

And that’s it. The disk is being added to the pool of storage and the old one is being hoisted out. ZFS is pretty great like that. It will take about 7 hours to “resilver” the pool and then everything will be back to normal and I’ll be able to withstand a disk failure again.


Oh dear, Seagate you’ve screwed me again.

 NAME                                       STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
 disk2                                      FAULTED    7   131   0  too many errors

On the bright side, I did another full backup, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

Another RMA to Seagate. Third time’s a charm?

Wife: I was going to stop eating so much bacon but then I ordered a sandwich with bacon on it.
Me: Yes but it's Vacation Bacon, which is only half as bad for you.
