Lots of work today

by

I just stopped working for the day at 9:30. I rewrote my communication code yet again. I was calling PtrAndHand from my OT notifier when I received data to put it in my buffer, but Quinn told me that’s a bad idea, so I rewrote it to use a static pre-allocated buffer.

Selling my home

by

I’ve decided to sell my condo. I’ve started talking to some realtors.

I’ll probably rent a private house, since I probably can’t afford to buy one. I can’t stand my noisy neighbors, and I just want to live someplace where I can play my music really loud without bothering anyone and at the same time not have to hear my neighbor’s annoying eurodance music with the bass turned all the ways up.

Important MT 2.6 Update

by

Due to a vulnerability that’s been discovered in the file Author.pm, it’s imperative that any installation of 2.6 be upgraded immediately.

Download the new Author.pm file here:

http://www.movabletype.org/downloads/Author.pm

And replace the version on your server at lib/MT/Author.pm.

Note: If you have yet upgraded to 2.6, you may disregard this message and upgrade to 2.61 at any time.

New Staff Member

MacMegasite has a new staff member. I met Mike Juarez at MacHack, and he’ll be writing mostly about hardware mods.

Could this be true?

by

Could this be true? I’ve done all I know to do to see if it’s a bogus claim, and I may be really naive, but… it is interesting. I’m curious to see if any of my fellow MeFi-ers can shed some light on it.

It’s supposedly an email from someone named Laurie who writes for Newsday and it expresses her impressions of the World Economic Forum quite candidly.

Could it be real or am I a sucker? [metafilter.com]
