Well, the new webservers at Kiva were brought online last Thursday morning and all in all things were successful. As it was to be expected there were some bugs that showed up in the design and also some things that we hadn't prepared for. I feel so relieved now and don't know what to do with my extra time. ;-)

There is a good article up on the main advogato page right now by eskimoses about Computer Science vs. Computer Programming. I think he makes some good points that we should put more craftmanship into this art that we all love. I have definately been inspired to take more time with software I write for the community. I've also been tempted from time to time to pickup one of Donald E. Knuth's fine books.

On the way back from my parent's house last night I was thinking that I need to change something about my life that will make things more interesting. I thought that it might be interesting if I could not tell a lie from now on. Not that I tell lies all the time and I don't mean that I'd constantly volunteer the truth. But sometimes you're likely to lie about something because you're protecting something or someones feelings. Like when you say "No, you're not fat." I think I'm just going to say exactly what I think and if it gets me into trouble well wouldn't that just be ironic. :-)
