noreply@blo... » ApacheCon EU Day 1
TravelThe flight to Amsterdam was uneventful, if wakeful. I had brought ear plugs, but not a sleep mask, and reading lights going on in nearby rows would disturb me. It wasn't a particularly turbulent flight, but it seemed that every time I'd almost get to sleep, we'd hit some rough air. So I landed in Amsterdam on Monday morning with ... [Link]

I prefer this year's itinerary, which was 2 and 10. I'd rather get all the changing planes and running through airports over with, and just ... [Link]

Carlos Sanchez » Using Lava Lamps for Continuous Integration build status notifications
Taking the idea of using Lava Lamps as notification tools for your Continuous Integration status, green lamp for success, red lamp for failure, the so called eXtreme Feedback Devices, and using as a guide the instructions in Pragmatic Automation, I have made some improvements to use remote notification, meaning that lamps don't need to be connected to the build server, ...

Brett Porter » Avoiding Duplicates in iTunes Party Shuffle
I had the odd situation today where iTunes decided to play the same song 5 times in a row. I’ve got 2300 songs in my library, though only 2138 in the active playlist. All things being equal, that’s something around a 1 in 14000 trillion chance. However, I have it set to favour higher rated songs. Even if that’s just ... [Link]
