after watching ghost in the shell 2, i found out about the tv series - standalone complex. and now i have it on dvd. could be some good watching ahead.

more on the d+d theme (did i post the other d+d link?) - a practical guide to d+d themed sex from the wafterbaby [via mm]

bash is down! google/yahoo need to aquire them and get them some decent hosting.

goldfish racetrack! i wonder if you could seal up rotastack stuff and max a severely huge fish-track. that would be awesome.

if this isn't a sign of the coming apocalypse, i don't know what is. phones for pets. phones. for. pets. PHONES. FOR. PETS.

the css zen garden, 1990's style. nopw those are some high quality animations.

linux io redirction - saved for later use. why can i never rememebr how to do this crap?

an earthworm jim database. awesome. it's like a webpage from the early 90s. doug tennaple is a genius.

gah. f was down for 5 hours after a routine database modification revealed massive innodb corruption which had somehow replicated to the slave. after splitting the cluster, our last backup was nine days old and a few million records short. eek. so a painstaking search and destroy for bad records was conducted. stupid mysql.
