I keep thinking I’m seeing cats; just out the corner of mine eye. Of a blackish black, not unlike a grue. However, these are most definatly cat-shaped shapes. Yet, devoid of shadow, or any light reflection. A black hole, complete nullness. A cat shaped void.
I have obtained an Alps SRGPHJ Jog/Shuttle. However, I am, for some reason, finding it difficult to conceive a method of interpreting the rotation position data mentioned in the documentation.
Got some email today, from Matt, from Saipan, with a massive collection of beautiful images of his home-away-from-home. It truely is a stunningly amazing place.
Today is the birthday of Janet Simpson, my cousin. She is now 12a.
My mother, in a rare burst of coolness, made her a card, sketching and watercolouring quick image of Misaki of Angelic Layer. Quite an excellent likeness too.
Had a nice conversation with my Uncle Jon regarding some intresting search’n’find related problems, in particular the [...]
Post-Cisco event, I have the following to say. While it focused on Cisco equipment and technologies, the people delivering the presentation were not Cisco employees themselves, but rather Applied Computer Systems (that link looks like a totally different company, I don’t know who might own who), a semi-local Cisco Partner.

Mode00: http://cwdb.azaphrael.org/search.php
The original search engine. Quite crappy. Referenced here for comparison.
Mode01: http://cwdb.b4k4.ath.cx/search
The first revision, used as a benchmark on the new system. Uses MATCH() AGAINST() fulltext searching.
Mode02: http://cwdb.b4k4.ath.cx/search2

Currently, cwdb entry moderation flagging is limited to a single meta value on each entry, listing the fixed values Approved and Not Approved. Would it be useful to the users to have a more flexible flagging system for tasks? Such as “Incomplete”, “Wrong Author/Date/etc”, “Clean up formatting”, “Duplicate check”, or all other manner of operator [...]
Unless given a profound reason for not doing so, I will be abolishing all cwdb user-levels in the next codebase revision, with the exception of “Administrator” and “Unauthenticated guest-type user”.
That is to say, insofar as editing entries goes, since we currently have a small team of trusted individuals taking care of all entries, regardless of [...]
Watched Contact (1997) tonight, starring Jodie Foster as Ellie Arroway.
Lots of people played themselves.
IMHO, the shining casting was William Fichtner as one Kent Clark. A seemingly autistic man, with very poor vision, but an extreemly fine-tuned sense of hearing. To the point of being capable of detecting intricate patterns in sound far beyond most of [...]
