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.
