I had heard the word "buttload" before Merlin's use of it, but it has become a sort of "fallen by the wayside" word. I think it was more popular when I was growing up. Regardless, one of the things I like about Merlin is his directness and no mincing of words. He might not always have just the right word, but he doesn't waste a lot of time trying to find the perfect one ... he's just himself when he posts, which is what I like to see.

And indeed, it’s about action. Otherwise, all the prioritizing, planning, mapping and such is nothing more than a high tech excuse for procrastination.

Amen.

I usually use pantload, an adjective I became fond of back when Clinton (the other one) was president. I agree - the more I think about it, the more important reducing/eliminating the unessential seems to be. Pity it took me so long to figure that out. And indeed, it's about action. Otherwise, all the prioritizing, planning, mapping and such is nothing more than a high tech excuse for procrastination. VMWare totally rocks. I could go on for paragraphs about how I use their stuff and it performs admirably in every role.
