Goodies

Comments[1] by Dave in Open Source

It's a week late, sure, but I wouldn't want to let this list of the excellent ApacheCon 2004 conference bag goodies go to waste:

Magnetic LED Flasher
Watermelon Pop Rocks
Strawberry Pop Rocks
Wonka Nerds
Alien Goo
Nerd Specs Super Eye Glasses
USB rechargeable flashlight.

Happy Turkey Day

Comments[0] by Dave in General

We had nice quiet Thanksgiving and that's the way I like it. We travelled only about 30 miles, for dinner with my parents and my brother over in Chapel Hill. We had turkey, gravy, stuffing, rice, cranberry sauce, veggies, and of course, pumpkin pie and homemade ice cream. After lunch we took the traditional nice long walk around the neighborhood and this year the walk included the muddy path along Morgan Creek.

Now, we're back in Raleigh and I'm trying to get back into writing mode. I'm going to put the XML-RPC and Atom Protocol chapters on hold for a couple of days and work on revisions to the first 1/3 of the book. Reviews came back overwhelmingly positive, but that is just not good enough.

I've got a lot to be thankful for, but right now I'm most thankful for my wife's seemingly infinite patience -- that, and the fact that she is taking the boys away for a couple of days so that I can work in peace.
