VMWare ESX 4.1 update oddities
initrd /initrd.img
Error 15:File not Found
Press any key to continue …
See this? Want to scream? It’s okay, I might have a solution for you:
1. Boot into Troubleshooting mode.
2. cd /boot
3. ls -al (see if there’s an initrd.img link that is broken, it will show up red)
4. rm initrd-2.4.xx-xxx.esx.img (remove the oldest initrd .img file if there is more than one)
4. ln -s initrd-2.4.xx-xxx.esx.img initrd.img (Replace x’s with the newest version that is actually there, which will re-link the broken link to another img, if one is available. You will if you are seeing this for the same reason I saw it.)
5. reboot
Ignore all the kernal mismatch errors you will probably see, and wait about 5-10 minutes. Then:
6. cd /boot
7. ls -al (see if the missing initrd .img version from step 3 is actually there now. It will be a newer version than the one you linked in step 4.)
8. ln -s initrd-2.4.xx-xxx.esx.img initrd.img (link to the newer one you now should see, since vmware now has had the chance to finish its update script.)
9. reboot
That should do it. What probably happened was your update script tried to copy a new version of the initrd image into /boot, but since you followed vmware best practices and there is obviously a bug in their update software causing old versions to not be removed, the /boot partition was full. The script should try to recover once you boot up with that old initrd, though. 
Hope that helps any.

Rage
Just beat Rage. The ending was unfinished and awful. Before I start, one thing I must note is this game is an engine showcase game. They probably put much more time just in the engine than in the game.
The game was like standing in line, and having an incredible time while doing so. They made standing in line so fun, that you want to go and do it again once you actually ride the ride, which has got to just be AWESOME if this line was this fun. You get on the ride. It gets going and you are having a blast, and you’re like “wow, yep, this is one amazing ride”. Then you see it, this HUGE loop, and your adrenaline starts pumping, and you’re getting excited, and… the ride goes around it, and then ends. Just ends.
Come on, id, if you would’ve just spent another month on the ending, you would’ve blown us away. No boss fight, nothing. 15 minutes at a slightly harder ending area and a button pressing sequence. Granted, that ending area was very cool and introduced a couple new things that were also very cool, but, I was expecting something grand, with that crazy build-up.
All in all though, Rage is worth playing just for the engine. Animations, textures, physics are all amazing. The racing was satisfying and fun. Can’t wait to see what they do with Doom 4, when they can stop focusing 90% on the engine 10% on the game.
Giga Gaia
I’ve finished writing a new song entitled “Giga Gaia”. The vocals need to be re-recorded before I upload it, but the lyrics are here:
Apple swallows their pride
There exists iCloud for Windows. I find this amazing.
One very neat thing that comes with this is your Photo Stream automatically syncing to a folder of your choice, Dropbox style.
