DangerInfo.com, Your Source for Danger News! – Awesome, a blog dedicated to latest news on the hiptop. I’ll check it religiously until (and probably long after) I pick mine up.

Related: mike has a hiptop and is blogging his experience.

I’ve been pretty sick over the past few days. Work has been interrupting, but I’ve been doing the whole getting lots of sleep and drinking hot soup thing today.

Gonna run some log analysis on the past two day’s traffic for work – 2.1GB worth of access and about 25MB worth of error logs.

Some random stuff:

• I just finally got around to reading Congressman Villanueva’s reply letter to Microsoft. I heard the OSCON panel Dr. Villanueava participated was also very good. I went to the Abuse Detection in Apache panel at that time slot.
• There’s going to be a Sam and Max Hit the Road sequel. The original was definitely one of the best SCUMM games ever. The funny thing is I think I still have an extra shrinkwrapped copy of the talkie somewhere. In the /. thread, some people talked about ScummVM, which is great for running SCUMM games on other platforms, but for running them on W2K, I’ve found that al I need is VDMSound, a kick ass software MPU-401 emulator. Hmm, another tangent: this day after the day of the tentacle comic strip rocks!
• Justin invited me to be an editor on the newly restyled bud.com. Hmm, when I get some time, I’ll have to post some stuff up sometime.
• I also got the new Bright Eyes album from the Saddle Creek store in the mail the other day. Good stuff. Tickets for their 10/10 show at the El Rey are going onsale this Saturday at 10am. Hmm, Underworld is going to be be at the Wiltern (walking distance, woo!) 10/21, but it looks like tickets haven’t gone on sale yet.

After a slightly protracted crunch period, we officially launched the new site redesign tonight.

Stumbled onto this today: MTV.com’s VMA 2002 shop. Every CD there is $8.29. I’d imagine that the music industry would be moving a lot more volume if the pricing was more like this.

Some good stuff over @ k5.

One day a pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to his crotch. So the bartender says to him, “You know you have a steering wheel attached to your crotch?”

And the pirate says, “Arrgh it’s driving me nuts!”

Ladies and Gentlemen, No. 1 New York Time best-seller author Ann Coulter:

My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.

It must be those pearls of wisdoms that keep people coming back for more.

Now this is good stuff: Soul Train’s rebuttal (check out the originals, are, even, better) to an online petition of people who think Ashanti (who?) sucks… this Soul Train piece invokes both 9/11 and slavery. The fun doesn’t stop there. Hilarity continues on mefi.

Play the race card! Play it!

Oh my sides.

Andy has put up the gettingit.com redesign – cool. Which reminds me, next week’s dinner is free (if I can get the info on where it is before it happens ). 🙂

Read about this the other day. The next version of Opera might finally not suck. Hopefully it’ll have enough (correct) DOM support that recodes won’t be necessary for DOM compliant code.

I took a break from work this morning and wrote a custom 404 that would parse the requested filepath and try alternates. I’m sure there’s a more efficient way to do that kind of contingency handling to search at alternate locations (isn’t there a module that does that?), but I wasn’t able to find it offhand.
