IE 7 launched last night, and someone’s already found a vulnerability. Awesome, just awesome.
With the Sox’s baseball season being over, The Soxaholix have to find other targets for their biting wit. It just so happens that they’ve recently brought up both of the TV shows that Erin and I watch: Lost and Battlestar Galactica.

Lost: Meanwhile,
I guess we now know why in two wars we never once heard any mention

has gone from the being the sexiest woman in all of made-for-TV
scifi evah to being at times downright scary in season 3… I

Peter Saint-Andre was in town for a conference this week, so we met — for the first time, though we’ve known each other online for several years now — for dinner Wednesday night. Of course, I took him to Mamá Testa, for the best tacos San Diego has to offer.
This is too good (and short) not to quote in its entirety. Tim Bray on different strategies for making your blog faster:
Don Park makes his blog go fast by applying WhirlyCache to the DAO layer, slipping in a transaction layer to reduce database integrity corruption, and using aspect-oriented programming technology via the Spring framework, with the help of Java annotations to mark transactional methods and classes. Yow! My approach is to have Apache serve static data out of the filesystem. Whatever; faster is better.
My approach definitely tends toward the serve-static-files-with-Apache end of the spectrum.
