Well, I registered a while ago, but I picked up the conference satchel et cetera today. It's a canvas satchel much like LCA 2005, but with fewer goodies (and more paper). There is one cool thing -- I got to pick an O'Reilly book about MySQL to have in the bag. Interestingly, there is a SCAMP CD in the bag. That's Sco, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl. Hmmmm. Kinda in poor taste that one me thinks. Everything else is cool. That is all.

It sounds like Windows Media Center can be frustrating.
Oh, and this list of VTA station addresses is very useful...
I'm doing public transport research for MySQL user's conference next week. Here is how to get from the VTA station at Old Ironsides to the Santa Clara Convention Center.
How Awesome Will It Be? A Teenager's Guide to Understanding and Preparing for the Second Coming (Paperback). Wow. Via Alan on Techtalkblogs.
The ATO has announced it will be auditing people who have nice cars. The bar for "nice carness" is pretty low though at $55,000. I suspect this sort of thing is quite effective though.
Ok, so I thought it would be cool to be able to send Google Talk messages to my MythTV box. Can't be too hard to write a twisted python jabber client can it? Well, after an hour of surfing, I give up. I have the simple jabber client example, but it totally doesn't work with the Google servers, I suspect because it doesn't do SSL. I can see one of the twisted.words maintainers filing bugs against the xish stuff too, which I suspect means it's going to be a while. A little bit disappointing me thinks.
If your toilet paper has a paw print motif, then someone might be trying to tell you something.
Video of someone tagging air force one. Presumably real footage, although Schneier seems to have some doubts.
