Here’s hoping it takes Samsung a few years to notice their open source hosting.

I’m instantly reminded of Milton in Office Space and his payroll situation:

BOB SLYDELL
Here’s a peculiar one. Milton Waddams.

DOM
Who’s he?

BOB
You know, squirrely looking guy, mumbles a lot.

DOM
Oh.

BOB SLYDELL
We can’t find a record of him being a current employee here.

BOB PORTER
I looked into it more deeply and I found what happened was he got layed
off about five years ago and no one ever told him about it. But through
a glitch in Payroll, he still gets a paycheck. I went ahead and fixed
the glitch.

BILL
Great.

DOM
So, um, Milton has been let go.

BOB SLYDELL
Just a second there, Professor. We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he
won’t be receiving a paycheck anymore. So it’ll just work itself out
naturally.

BOB PORTER
We always like to avoid confrontation whenever possible. The problem is
solved from here on, then.

They laugh.

Re: Samsung acquires Joyent

I renew my offer to host textpattern domains on my bare metal server running smartos for free if it is technically feasible.

I have a LOT of headroom.
