Ok, apparently someone decided to get Livejournal to syndicate my weblog. As a result, I'm going to turn off the script I've been running that posts entries here. It fails all the time and requires manual intervention to fix it, and I don't see the point in it if Livejournal can do it right automatically.

So there's been some discussion on various APR and Subversion mailing lists recently about exactly how to implement POSIX style condition variables on a Win32 system.

The existing implementation in APR is buggy, and we need a better one before we can merge the work that's been done on making svnserve use a pool of threads into Subversion's trunk ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'd just like to point out that 6AM on Saturday morning is not the most fun time to be woken up by a fire alarm because one of the downstairs neighbors had something in their apartment catch on fire.

On the bright side, everything is fine, nobody was hurt, and I was back in bed within half an hour or so, but still, not the way I would have ( Read more... )

so after some random conversations about it with r0b last week, i've started looking around at the various different digital slr cameras that are available.

i've been playing around with my current slr a bit, and i like it a lot, but i absolutely hate dealing with film.

getting it developed is just a pain in the ass, not to mention expensive as ( Read more... )

Nat Torkington has an interesting post in his use.perl journal where he answers some of the common questions people have about O'Reilly these days.

It seems to me that O'Reilly is a damn fine company, they make a good product, help the community when they can, and are just generally nice people.

It's becomming a cliche, but "Times are Tight", so ( Read more... )
