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.
