The title 196 refers to the number of days this site and server remained up and accessible without interruption. Last night the streak ended, not because of a technical issue but for security concerns, and the downtime allowed for the application of a number of patches. The total outage was less than three hours. Not too shabby. Here’s to another 196 issue free days.

Today was warehouse day, or as some in the industry say “book scouting”. In the heat of battle my nifty scanner, Treo, and price fetch application did very well. A few modifications are necessary to enhance usability, but at the end of the day – it works. Overall a good show for someone who hasn’t coded regularly for a quite some, I should think.

My goal for tomorrow: be funny and have fun.
