Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:44 PM

Enough dawdling! Time to get ready for work. Today the president of AMD is visiting the Marlborough office, bringing a bit of anxiety w/him. 6:29am

My boss carpooled w/me. Downside: no podcasts/audiobooks. Upside: I always feel more plugged into what's happening as he phones his minions. 9:39am

Went with a couple of co-workers for some Thai lunch. We were getting tired of the usual sandwiches, subs, wraps, etc. 1:14pm

BTW, we had a good mtg with the company president. Open floor discussion with not a bit of the common "death by PowerPoint". 1:19pm

Encouraging... "N.H. unemployment rate remains good" (related link) 3.8%, not bad! 1:28pm

I had a Cheshire Cat grin when I read the headline: "Global Warming Skeptics Plot 'Carbon Belch Day' " (related link) (June 12th) 2:00pm

Did a dry run of having Amazon S3 host my site by putting a few files up there. (related link) Seems to hold water... 8:43pm

S3Fox for Firefox is an amazing Amazon S3 client for just being a Firefox plugin/extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3247 8:51pm

One S3 downside (compared to the usual Apache server): 'index.html' or similar files are not assumed. The URL must explicitly append it. 9:25pm
