Social IT Software

I’m surprised the footprint is so large and I haven’t heard of them. Interesting stuff though.

Turbo Tax is a Dick

Turbo tax tries to screw you out of the $19.95 e-file fee for state taxes. Just mail your state taxes in, only e-file federal. The only downside is TurboTax makes it difficult to do it. This is how you make it work:

  • E-file federal don’t file State
  • Once complete click on Print & File again
  • On the first page it will ask if you want to e-file federal, choose file by mail
  • The next screen says it can’t because you’ve submitted already
  • Continue on to print out state paperwork

Dicks.

Lance Albertson, architect and systems administrator at the Oregon State University Open Source Lab uses a sys admin staff of 18-21 year old undergrads to manage servers for some high profile open source projects (Linux Master Kernel, Linux Foundation, Apache Software Foundation, and Drupal to name a few). In this Q&A, Albertson talks about the challenges of using young sys admins and the lab’s plans to move from Cfengine to Puppet for systems management.

Applications I Use on OSX

I’ve been keeping this reasonably up to date. Again due to the migration that’s coming up I wanted to make sure it’s complete. Any apps I should be using?

Firefox Addons

So I’m getting ready to format and reinstall from scratch on my macbook. I’m doing a little do diligence for keeping track of some of the crap I always forget to save. Here is a list of my current firefox extensions.

Is there anything I should be using that is obviously missing (@savagegus)?
