Non-Paged Pool



Non-Paged Pool sign (1/3)

Originally uploaded by marcn.



A little geek humor for the day --

Instead of the usual afternoon coffee break, I walked out behind the office building and took these pictures.

Back in the late 1980s, one of Digital Equipment Corp's VAX/VMS developers planted this sign.

VMS has two types of kernel memory pools to allocate from -- paged which can be swapped out and non-paged which can not move. Clearly this pool is of the latter type. Is there any other kind?

PC Cable for Garmin eTrek GPS

I just bought a replacement GPS, a Garmin eTrek and they wanted $38 for the PC connector cable! Five minutes of googling found navsphere.com which sells the same thing for $7.95 + $5 S&H.

Now I'm loading waypoint, cache sites and benchmarks from geocaching.com using gpsbabel and trying
to figure out gpsdrive, gpsman and xastir.

Northern New York Historical Newspapers

A number of newspapers in northern New York state have digitized their archives --
Digitization 101: Northern New York Historical Newspapers -- this could be a goldmine for genealogists researching in that area.

Now if only Orange County, NY newspapers were digitized I'd be in heaven.
