Today.

Seriously, however, 115dB beats 97dB every time, and your ( Read more... ) -
Public Service Announcement
- The staff at the Dayton Holiday Inn are wonderful and don't mind me mooching their wireless (and buying their food [and working from here]) all day.
- Gary Tremaine of Tremaine Motors is fannnnnnntastic. I think the V70 likes him already. I sure do. He let me nervously walk around and detail all of my concerns and listened to my amateur diagnostic ( Read more... )

And a great quote from the great freeside on #perl this afternoon: what's the difference between a programmer and a software ( Read more... )
