About Clay

I'm a Data Center Operations Engineer in beautiful Charleston, SC. I'm happily married to my wonderful wife Nan and we have an teenage daughter Lela. I'm a total geek. I got into electronics when I was around 9 or 10 and got hooked on computers shortly thereafter. I also love Sci-Fi, (not fantasy) particularly Star Trek. My favorite outdoor activities include rollerblading, biking and hiking. I'm also a bit of a car guy and amateur racing driver.

The big picture

With little new information coming out on the role of Karl Rove in the Valerie Plame/Wilson leak, many reporters seem to be rehashing the same stories. However, a few insightful reporters are doing some critical analysis of information that’s come out over the last 4 years. One such article from the New York Times, presents a very well thought-out analysis of what reporter Frank Rich thinks is going on. I have to admit, I agree with him.

SCO never had a case…

Though I’ve always suspected this to be the case, it looks like SCO’s claims about linux violating their copyright are completely baseless. Aparently they hired consultants to pick apart the linux kernel and according to them, there’s nothing there. Of course SCO disputes this, but after all that they’ve done, I’m not exactly inclined to believe them. The story was originally boken by the Groklaw website which obtained an e-mail containing the evidence above.
