You know, there are times where I find myself wondering “I think you really missed your calling in life… You should have been a poet!”
And then there are times (like for example, the above chosen title) where I realize “You know, you should really just consider yourself lucky that you don’t didn’t get your a$$ beat more often than you do did!”
On a related note, have I ever mentioned how much I love my five sisters?
No?
Hmmm. Strange… I wonder why that might be? I could have sworn that I, …
… well, why I sit and reminisce about how wonderful life was growing up around a group of such spite driven war mongers loving, caring, and above all, compassionate, siblings from another planet all together of the opposite sex, please enjoy the following jolt of exciting news courtesy of Microsoft and rPath’s Appliance Builder,
Microsoft VHD Support
You asked for more choices, and now you have them. You can now generate a virtual appliance in the Microsoft Virtual Server VHD format directly from within rBuilder Online. Whether you are a Microsoft partner participating in the VHD Test Drive Program or a developer who wants to generate your virtual appliances to run in the Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 environment, we’ve made it easy. If easy-to-do is not enough incentive, Microsoft has 10 Zune digital media players for the first 10 developers to contribute VHD format virtual appliances to rBuilder Online. (Limit one per person. Publish your project and email your name and mailing address to mrichardsATrpathDOTcom.)
“So,” I hear you ask, “why are there only 9, when it clearly states that Microsoft has 10 Zune media players for the first 10 developers to contribute VHD format virtual appliances to rBuilder Online?”
That’s a good question. The answer?
Do you honestly believe I would have made this announcement to the far and to the wide of all the land of O’ReillyNet, before snagging one of those baby’s for myself first painstakingly taking the VHD-based build I so enthusiastically created yesterday, carefully and lovingly packaging and labeling it appropriately, to then publish it such that each and every one of you could immediately benefit from all the wonderfulness of the rPath Linux-based nuXleus Messaging Appliance in VHD format?
[M.:Speak(with pointed emotion)] “*THAT’S* how much love I have for you, O’Land of O’ReillyNet.”
[M.:Action]: Sniff twice. Choke back tear. With an obvious lump in your throat, attempt to swallow, and then a short, shallow breath before an effort filled and ultimately forced gulp, wipe across your tear streaked cheek while choking on the words:
[M:Speak(with a whisper(reaching a near obvious swelling of tears))] “that’s … how … much.”
[M.: Action: one last sniff, and… lower head in obvious moral suffering, and while crouching your shoulder, turn, and…
You know… now might be a good time to consider *RUNNING LIKE YOU’VE NEVER RAN BEFORE, THEY’RE GEEK BOY!!!
“Bye for now, suckaz!!! WOOHOOO!!!! A ROOMA Zune, Zune, baby… w00t!”
[Uhhh… **FASTER!!!**]
