I got a little tired of waiting for the caddies to arrive so I installed the SSDs in a temporary kind of way. By that I mean I pulled out the SATA brackets from the slots and have connected them all manually for the moment 
Anyhow, so I now have two SSDs that are all ready for configuration! In this post I’ll partition them, get some mirrored swap setup and the ZFS mirror.

Note: This is a repost of FreBSD Install: Disk Setup from a couple of days ago. I’m reposting because I’ve discovered that you can’t use a separate log device on the root zpool. If you don’t care about that sort of thing, go read the first post – it’ll walk you through partitioning for a single large zpool – which is a perfectly good way to go. Otherwise, read on!

Yet another article from the mainstream media that believes Adobe’s PR drivel.
From Adobe’s row with Apple over Flash technology escalates:
But Flash is commonly used to build smartphone apps. As a result, developers commonly used automatic translation tools – some built by Adobe – to convert Flash code to run on Apple gadgets.
Who sees two problems with this one?
Problem the first: No smartphone platform supports the full Flash. Adobe have said that Android will support it later this year. This is the third time they’ve promised a release, we’ll see if this one slips too.
Problem the second: By Adobe’s admission there were maybe 100 apps in the App Store that were built in Flash and compiled into binaries compatible with the App Store guidelines. 100 apps from dozens of developers.
Contrast that with the 198,355 apps from 38,928 developers (from 148apps.biz). 0.05% hardly counts as common.
Sigh.
