• A heartwarming tale of finest British ingenuity.

• You need humans in the loop — a cautionary tale.

• A stunningly useful article on Apache. I had never heard of SNI before this. Any of you using it?

• Rocknerd: The good parts; It's not DRM, er, DCE, it's DPP! Yeah.

• NotN: Microsoft arranges spontaneous house parties for Windows 7 launch; Placebos more effective than most new drugs; Obama speech fills ears of mere children with vile propaganda.

Job hunting continues apace, now the money has run out. I just spent two weeks on hold for a job that then evaporated, which I can hardly express how pleased I am about. Woke up at 7:30 this morning in a white-hot fever of job-hunting rage, which is now sated and I'm ready for bed thanks. I will be sponging *pint*s off others for a while yet, I fear.

Although I won't make a living from it, the Windows 7 Drinking Game appears to have struck a chord, with about fifty thousand hits in the past day after being linked from the front page of Slashdot (and thank you all).

The strawberries continue to grow spectacularly on coffee grounds. There's a rat hole and the foxes keep digging for it, though. We've filled the hole with sharp builder's gravel, which we hope they'll find unpleasant enough to deter them. If that fails, the guy we bought it from suggested chickenwire just under the surface of the soil, which is actually quite a brilliant idea — deterring both foxes going down and rats coming up.

Freda's language skills advance apace, now we just need to learn to understand what she's saying. The teenagers are safely ensconced in school ("it's college!") and we now just need to convince them to detoxify their rooms. Girls are icky.

People are chaotic neutral. but they'll mostly do the right thing if you steer them into it.

I'm waiting for SNI to hit a release of apache I end up using, but it does sound pretty useful.
