Stuff I did over the last week

[giza]

I created an implementation of Google's MapReduce algorithm. In PHP. It was pretty crazy, but I got it to work pretty well in my test environment. It also doesn't have nearly the bells and whistles that Google's implmentation has, but I have some Evil Plans for the next revision of the framework.

I upgraded SaveArdmoreCoalition.org from Drupal 4.7 to 5.6. It wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be. And I was able to add some jQuery goodness in to the site now.

I transitioned another random domain to Google Apps.

I made some headway on my issues with my IRAs. But I need to wait until the office opens on Monday to get things taken care of. Gah.

I acquired some new hardware -- an extra charger for my Powerbook, so now I don't have to worry about always packing my charger whenever I travel, and an extra Linksys WRT54G router/access point. So now I can start playing with custom firmware, and not have to worry about bricking my main router.

unclekage and I processed just a few Anthrocon registrations earlier tonight:



Those of you who registered on the site recently, watch for your confirmations in the mail!

What about the STAFF registrations?
*would like to know what his registration number is*
in 04 I was #0347, in 05 it was 0050, in 06 it was 0058, and then in 07 it was 0106...
I'm hoping its below 100 this year...

*playful tweaks on your tail*

you want a low staff badge number?

*secret whispers and opens a trench coat clipped with AC 2008 Staff badge numbers*

I got yer number right here...
For the right price of course.

*soft sinister chuckles*

Install OpenWRT on your WRT54G! You'll love it, that's what I use on the wifi towers out at Playa del Fuego!

You actually mail out registrations? *jaw drop* What's wrong with emails?

Oh, and for the router; chuck dd-wrt on it. Its by far the most feature rich firmware out there :)

PS: Død ved kølle!

1) People don't read emails.

2) We like the personal touch of sending someone a nice paper receipt with helpful information on it.

3) People also seem to like having something tangible for their registration.

Ya, Giza explained. Fair enough :)

[giza.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

[taral.livejournal.com]

To go or not to go, that is the question.

[giza.livejournal.com]

You should go.

'cause I'm a totally objective source here!

[taral.livejournal.com]

Ya. :D

Yup, I got mine, thanks. I registered at the con for 2008 before it finished :)
