More info on the book's site

On: Apache Cookbook

the review didn't mention it afaics, and neither does o'reilly, but we have a companion site for this book: Apache-Cookbook.Com. that's where we keep the up-to-date errata, the table of contents, and a random recipe-of-the-day. (and soon reviews and review pointers.)

just fwiw.

News scoops aren't always good

On: Apache 1.3.9 Now Available

There's a reason the distribution file was put on the site silently, and not yet officially announced. It's called "letting the 250+ mirrors get it so it's in place world-wide when the announcement is made 24 hours later."

Thanks to this premature unofficial announcement, the main Apache system is getting slashdotted and the mirrors have to compete just to get the files. So no-one is really getting any advantage from the world-wide distributed availability.

The official announcement should be made through all the usual channels (USENET, the apache-announce list, et cetera) sometime to-morrow (Friday) afternoon.

If you can possibly restrain yourself, please wait until to-morrow and go through the mirror system.. thanks!

On: Salon on the Red Hat IPO Eligibility

Just because you can code C does not make you qualified to spend money that you cannot afford on a risky IPO that may or may not go up.

Erm, if it's my money, how is anyone else qualified to tell me what I can afford or how I'm allowed to spend it?
