My Head In Front Of Your Head (mp3).

The parking meters in front of the office are now 5 minutes for a quarter. That's a cool three bucks an hour.

So one of the last hurdles to mod_perl 2.0 development has been fixed. libapreq 2.07 has been in gestation for months and is now available. This is the first non-dev release and it opens the doors to actually using this in production.
tiredSo if LJ is a Goat and Six Apart is human, what is the combination?
The greek mythological character Pan. Half Goat/Half Man, plays the Pan pipes and gets everyone in trouble with his mischievous ways.

The whole affair today typifies everything I think is wrong with the industry. I didn't name names, post links, or lay blame directly on purpose. To be honest, this time I have no proof. People have tried to bribe me, people have tried to get me to write things they want written, and people have tried to cower me.

logjam is awesome..
Time to get FogBugz sorted out. Brenna is here. Talk to Nick about staging.sixapart.com.
Oh, and Data Center Staffing plan. Must not forget about that..
