Comment on The End of I.T. (as we know it) by Sean Walberg

I agree, John.

Companies spend a lot of capital and operating money on IT infrastructure and cloudy-stuff is a great way of moving that to a fairly fixed operating cost. I think the jobs will be split along the lines of “low level support” and “application support” with the latter category being where all the hard (higher paying) work is.

This will also open up work in the cloud space. The barrier to entry is almost nil — I wrote my own application in my spare time with very little costs outside my time. The company that acquired me has around 100,000 users and doesn’t own a single server. There are entire app stores devoted to making sure people can find these applications, and many take care of billing which is one of the more annoying aspects of running an online business.

Hi John,

I’m no OpenSUSE user, but I assume OpenSUSE ships the regular Gnome “Window List” applet.

If so, the configuration option you’ve been looking for can be found in the taskbar’s “Preferences” dialog. You can open the dialog by right-clicking the handle on the very left of the taskbar widget. Depending on your GTK the taskbar handle might be hard to spot.

HTH, Daniel

Thanks for the script John! This did almost everything I needed! I have since updated the script slightly to work for what I was doing with asterisk-stat. The blog post is here: http://leifmadsen.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/importing-master-csv-into-mysql-cdr-table/

Feel free to steal back the code and update this link if you wish. Thanks again!
