Well, for whatever reason - I decided to take FreeBSD out on a date recently.  In fact, I enjoyed myself  so much I brought FreeBSD home and installed it on my home server (replacing Debian/Lenny).

To the tune of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

We're no guests in this net.
You know the tendency, and so do I.
An aging system's what I'm thinking of.
Ignoring this just makes our risk too high.

I just wanna upgrade all our systems,
Gotta close those gaping holes.

Never gonna get to it.
Never gonna fix that script.
Never gonna replace the beast we inherited.
Never gonna patch that bug.
Never gonna document.
Never gonna shutdown a system - ever.

To the tune of Suicide is Painless (aka - M*A*S*H theme song).

Through early morning fog I see
Vsions of what used to be
The walls of datacenter three.
The water came up to my knees.

One thing that really bugs me is when application developers (or product management) makes serious mistakes which improperly confuse or cause problems for less experianced users.  One such example is the still-open bug with Outlook Express which is managing to single-handedly prevent the wide-spread use of secure certificates.

To the tune of Forever and Ever Amen by Randy Travis.

You may think that I'm talking noobish.
You've heard that my software is free.
You may wonder how I can involve a cow
In every Perl script or shell script that you'll ever see.
