Off to the MySQL tutorials
Up at 5:50am, dressed by 6:30am, and leaving the house by 7:10am to get on the VTA light rail by 7:30am. All because the tutorials start at 8:30am, and I want to catch the train instead of using up fuel...
Registered for MySQL User Conference 2006
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.

A side by side comparison of MythTV and Windows Media Center
It sounds like Windows Media Center can be frustrating.
List of VTA station addresses

ATO to use luxury ownership as audit trigger
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.
Twisted Python and Jabber SSL
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.
Stop using all the loo paper!
If your toilet paper has a paw print motif, then someone might be trying to tell you something.
