kungfufrog··on Kafka Removing Zookeeper Dependency
When will this be actually released and available for use?

I'd love to ditch Zookeeper (the weak part that falls over more regularly) in our current Kafka cluster.

Ahh, thank you! I legitimately forgot what month it was!
kungfufrog··on I gave away my books and sales increased
Hi Jeff, love your work and have followed for a long time. I just noticed on Leanpub the minimum price for Ansible for DevOps is $9.99 despite following a link from your blog post that stated the $0 cost was being extended through April. Is it still intended to be $0?

kungfufrog··on We busted a fake Chrome extension that was trying to steal data
The blog post was moderately informative/useful and interesting, marketing brochure website behind it next to useless and can't find anything meaningful about what they actually sell or do. Frustrating follow-up experience for me that reminds me of most enterprise ISVs.
kungfufrog··on Microsoft’s new small print – how your personal data is abused
The real reason I'll never use Microsoft products again: I'm sick of legally purchasing software and being treated like a potential charlatan every time I change a component of my computer or upgrade. I have lost countless hours to Microsoft Tech Support for licensing issues (which, to be honest, are reasonably efficient these days). However, the older I get, the more I just plain resent having to deal with this intrusion into what should be an experience I control.

Microsoft licensing is hellish, I've worked with it for years and I still don't entirely understand it.

kungfufrog··on Case study: tinnitus with distortion
I have the same thing. I'm almost certain the sound is associated with shoulder/jaw tension on my left side. I can raise the sound frequency by jutting my jaw forward.

Quite often the ringing is worse after a day of sitting at work and typically reaches a veritable crescendo by Friday afternoon.

Likewise the onset of my tinnitus correlates with a period of stress and long hours at work sitting down.
