The book went to print two days ago. Now we wait for it to come back...
You are bidding on social justice
You are bidding on social justice... oh, and a broken crappy MP3 player. Ebay censored the page. Cached version here.
I don’t claim these are new
But they're still funny... As sent to my wife in IMs this evening: (23:08:06) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/kenya/ (23:18:43) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/testy/AdventCalendar/day19.html (23:20:16) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/demolition+squid/ (23:22:28) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/mango/ (23:23:37) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/cucumbers (23:26:07) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/dear+weebl/ (23:27:13) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/giraffe/ (23:28:52) mikalstill@gmail.com/Gaim: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/space+is+fun/ Ahhh, flash. Reminds me of papal wackamole.
Free kitchen designer from Ikea
Ikea hands out a free 3d kitchen designer, which is cool. It's windows only, which is not cool.
I just noticed…
That I forgot to put the slides from Stewart and my MythTV tutorial at LCA online. So, here they are, and sorry for the delay. You can also see the video of the tutorial here, and the homework we set here. Weirdly, there is even a remix video of the presentation.

Managing MySQL the Slack Way: How Google Deploys New MySQL Servers
I'll be presenting about Slack (the open sourced tool kit we use for deployment software configuration) at the MySQL user's conference in Santa Clara in late April. The talk will focus on the interesting aspects of Slack as it relates to MySQL and should be fun. A DBA mate of mine is gonna present with me, so it should be a barrel of laughs.
Done and done
Stewart finished off the last trailing chapter of the MythTV book a week or so ago, and I finished the last copy edit (the process where we learn US grammar) just now. That means we only need to have page layout done for a chapter or so and we're home. Hurrah!
Scott Adam’s blog: the boner theory of management
The Boner Theory of Economics also predicts that in the long run -- perhaps in a few hundred years -- the military will be 100% gay men. This is the best case scenario for taxpayers because it will keep down costs, and recruiting will be easy. Recruiter: "We can't afford to give you body armor, but you'll be surrounded by young, vital men who are a long way from home. Would you like a tour of the showers?" Recruit: "Yes, but I can't stand up right away." http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/03/the_boner_theor.html
MythTV on AMD 64
I just built a sweet MythTV backup based on an Athlon X2 64 bit CPU. To get MythTV to compile, you need to change -ldts to -ldts_pic in libs/labavcodecs/Makefile. That is all.
