weekend

Spent most of the weekend in Winston Salem. Went to check out Japan Air and Lake Trout. Excellent show.

Ended up driving half of Lake Trout and Japan Air around Winston Salem after the show. Since they were, un, slightly drunk. Just a touch.

Ran into them again at brunch. The drummer seems to be able to recite the entire script to “Fargo”.

Late getting home, and a an unintended nap.

names

According to census.gov “Likins” is the 43,100th most popular last name, and “Adrian” is the 227th most popular first name in the US according to the 1990 census.

Not sure where the 2000 data is though.

Spent most of last week up in Westford. Talking about “work stuff”. Did manage to run into ovrclokd in the cafeteria, which was a bit unexpected.

Last day or two I’ve been messing with an internal livejournal setup we’re been experimenting with at work. Kind of an interesting diversion. But it kind of reminded me why I don’t do perl or ldap anymore. I used to, but I feel much better now.

The livejournal code is kind of interesting. Not often you get to poke around at the code used to run a huge website. Looking at the code and the lj scaling paper makes for interesting reading.

catchup

The hurricanes game I got the last minute box seat tickets for (canes vs capitals) turned out to be a really good game.

Been hanging out at Kulture when I get a chance. You should too.

The hard drive in my mp3 player seems to be dying. It works, but a section around about the “k’s” causes all sorts of read errors in usb drive mode. And if I try to play anything from it, it locks up spinning the harddrive till the battery dies. Neat. I’ve ran a fsck.vfat on it a few times before, but that seemed to only work for a bit. I’d replace the drive in it with a 80gb, but a certain fruit company has cornered the market on the needed drives.

Taxes. Ugh.

Anyone played with ninjam?

Now With Kulture

The opening of Kulture seemed to go pretty well. Good crowd, and nothing major exploded as best I could tell.

Ran into someone I went to high school with, which was a bit strange. Talked to them a bit and found out there are
apparently a few folks from my high school in the area.
