  • MySQL HTTP Engine: Crazy Crazy Crazy.

    • But, this is an indication to me, that you really shouldn’t be writing SQL. SQL has its places, but I’m starting to believe that place is not the web application.
  • Lunch: Left at Albuquerque. Margarita=Yum. Not as good as El Buro last night, but still good.
    • “Marigage isn’t forever, its just until its done.”
  • Going to use libevent for an HTTP Client and Server. Its definitely missing features, but shouldn’t be too hard to get it where we want it.
  • Dinner: Outback. Steak. Yum.
    • Discussed Eve Online. And Housing.
    • My new plan is to get 5 million dollars, and a Pony.
      • 5 Million for the House, to have a place to put the $1000 Pony.
  • Need to get up at oh-shirt-early in the morning tomorrow, to go Salmon Fishing. Woooo.

  • I want to go to outer space.
  • Installed BDB 4.5 utilities on a couple hundred machines. yay psh+pfor.
    • I still want to try PCP sometime though.
  • 2 wins out of 5 games in foosball. (bad day).
  • comcast is not comcastic.
  • 100mbit ethernet is too slow inside a data center. GigE is cheap. Get it.
  • the internet is not fast enough. transfering data from boston to oakland is too slow.
  • found some old code that isn’t endian safe. ack. Geoff is still on a PPC mac, and ran into some problems….
  • wrote a tool to count users and their subscriptions, and then graph the distribution of subs counts.
