*sigh*

Yesterday was hell. I was on the phone at home with people at work until nearly 7PM, all because of poor planning for a project. Seems that InfoWorld magazine wanted to perform a testdrive of our new beta software for a review, and the server that they were going to use had become unstable earlier in the day. Then this morning, I had to rush to build a new User Mode Linux kernel with more than 512MB memory support as a workaround. After consulting with the lead UML developer, it looks like I also need to set

/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count

to a value greater than the default to get support for processes that need more than 64k (\~256MB) memory pages on the host.
This afternoon I found this rather interesting article on the world of car salesmen. Some of it I knew, but other parts were somewhat eye opening.
Also, I figured out how to get rollover colors working. So now when you roll your mouse over a link, the link should change colors. Its mostly eye candy, but I like the effect, and its just some simple CSS.
