'He was a right c***': Cash Converters win at reference letters
#Funny - but wholly inappropriate for a reference letter. Since the manager’s signature is visible, I’m sure s/he will be having words with directors, who may in turn give him/her a reference of their own…

#I completed C25K Week 4 Day 3 (3.20 km), in 17:45, pace 05:32 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/T519
Next workout is first workout of Week 5: 5 minute warm up followed by 3 sets of 800m running then 400m walking, followed by a 5 minute cool-down.
I found Week 4 tough going, so Week 5 is going to be even tougher.
Plus, a new milestone:

Next run is the first workout of Week 4. 5 minutes walk, followed by and interval of 400m run/200m walk, then an interval 800m run/400m walk, and then a repeat of the two intervals, before a 5 minute cool-down walk.

Virtualisation
#Wow, you learn something new everyday. I’ve just found out about two variations on virtualisation. Linux Containers (LXC) and Vagrant.
Linux Containers (LXC) is known as OS-level virtualisation, meaning the kernel looks after the virtualisation, and there is no need for some extra management software along the lines of VMWare or Virtualbox. The guest OSes run as containers, similar to chroot jails, and all containers, including the main one you booted from, share the same kernel and resources as your main container. As such, LXC only supports linux-based guest OSes. You can’t (easily, anyway) run Windows under LXC. Homepage, Wikipedia.
Vagrant is a strange one. It sells itself as being a way to keep development environments consistent, and I can understand why – if you have a team of people all with a VM of the same OS, but end with different results because they have tinkered with the settings on the VM OS, Vagrant prevents this by keeping the core one in the cloud, and each time the machine is started up, it checks itself against the cloud version, updating itself if needed. That guarantees consistency. Homepage, Wikipedia.
I haven’t tried both of these tools in great detail yet, but here’s some related links for you to check out:

Game (And Software) Release Stages
#This is a Google Developers episode detailing how best to avoid releasing broken or defective games on Google Play. It speaks of three release stages: Alpha, Beta, and Canary/Staged Rollout. Alpha and Beta, almost all people are aware of. But Canary/Staged Rollout is a new term for me, but makes a lot of sense.
If you develop and/or release software, this is probably worth a watch.
