Axodys

For a second there I thought Blogger might be really hosed as I wasn’t offered the chance to edit Axodys as usual. Logging out and then back in seems to have fixed that problem.

I’m finally getting sleepy enough to go to bed. I tried earlier, but as is sometimes the case I just wasn’t quite tired enough to fall asleep. I’m going to have to look at this sleep related article later today.

MySQL’s built in security is a little convoluted. Not overly so, but just enough to be bothersome when you’re new to the system and trying to remotely access a database. At least I’ve successfully added a user that works locally.

Installing MySQL went a lot more smoothly than I expected. Now I just need to go home and pull out my copy of so I can familiarize myself with its workings. Cool. Databases are fun.

I’ve been using a Timbuk2 messenger bag for about a year and a half now, but I had no idea they offered custom bags until today. They have a Flash based custom bag builder that works quite well. I just may have to order a new bag sometime down the road.

Today’s Zope Newbies has some useful info on upgrading to Zope 2.3 from an earlier version. Looks like Zope 2.3 doesn’t require Python 2.0, but version 2.4 will.

Hmm. Blogger is working again this morning. It wasn’t as of 11:30pm last night so I wonder what time it started working again?

The newsfeeds weblog is pretty cool. I’m going to have to fiddle around with some of these soon.

Programming languages as Colas

There’s nothing more frustrating than having Blogger flake out on your latest entry. Luckily it was short enough that I can remember it for the most part. Coming up with my own alternate weblogging app is starting to look appealing.

Looks like a little corporate common sense might be able to help alleviate the California power crisis. Of course on the other hand does conserving electricity at night allow the power companies to supply more electricity during the day? I’m not at all familiar with modern high volume electrical storage technology, but I have a feeling that the industry is more about electrial generation than electrical storage.

Actually I read an article on flywheels in Wired talks about a technology that could potentially revolutionize energy storage. Sounds like a cool technology.
