    Virtualised Selection

    You may or may not know I'm a bit of a VMware geek - in the last 4 years or so I've been bitten by the "bug" so to speak and its provided a source of interest ( for me anyhow, it bores the pants of everyone around me ) and income

    However I'm nothing compared to this chap , who took it upon himself to build a mini eco system based on virtual machines, using something akin to "the game of life" , it thoguht it might pique the interest of some of the more technically minded Hexites..

    Re: Virtualised Selection

    Have just sat and read the entire thing, end to end and watched the video and have to say, I am pretty damn impressed.

    I usually switch off half way through something like that, so for me to sit and read it, for myself shows how interesting it was, or to atleast me.

    I cant help be imagine what we would have done had he had more workstations to utilise.

    Cheers Moby
