That's just too bad. The building we live in will be shutting down power for some electrical maintenance tonight. Why do I care ? Well, because I have this trusty OpenBSD Firewall that's been humming along in a closet forever. Well, not forever, but almost.

Oh well, can't be helped. Go OpenBSD, GO!

  770   vi 
  692   ls 
  491   svn 
  381   perl 
  256   make 
   83   cat 
   75   grep 
   72   ssh 
   70   rm 
   56   rpmbuild 

Vi, Subversion, Perl & make, yup, that sounds like me on productive days. ssh feels lower than it should be though.

I've just finished presenting my 2 talks at ApacheCon 2006 US and it went really well. I was presenting one old talk, and a brand new one and they both drew a good crowd. Overall, I am quite pleased, with a few little tweaks I want to make to my slides for next time.

For those that might want to see what I was talking about, you can figure it out from:

• TH4 - mod_perl for Speed Freaks! (slides)
• TH9 - Advanced Profiling and Instrumenting (slides)

Or just find it yourself from the Talk section of my website

One think I simply can't pass up was that I noticed there were 2 PHP guys I knew in the back of the room during my Profiling talk:

• Andrei Zmievski
• Rasmus Ledorf

And they had nothing bad to say about my talk ;-) Thanks!

And I lied during my talk, saying Apache2::Instrument was on CPAN, well, sorry, but i've just uploaded it now, sorry for the bugs and the documentation (or lack of).

I am awake and about to head down to the registration desk to officially kick off the conference. Somehow, I think this picture from Ted Leung I just noticed in my flickr stream sums it all up very nicely.
