compulsion

So I couldn't sleep last night. What did I do? I went to Free CSS Templates and downloaded a CC 2.5 CSS skin. And I made a new Drupal 6 theme. This is easy enough that it could turn into a habit...

Had brunch, wandered the park, got cupcakes, rescued half a dozen ducklings trapped in a sewer. I feel like Mr. Rogers. — 1 day ago
Was skeptical about #drupal 7's new code registry, but by golly it DOES make maintaining my big modules easier. — 2 days ago

Fake Achievement Generator — That is all. That is awesome.
Thematic Gallery — A gorgeous showcase for sites powered by the Thematic wordpress theme framework
The Vietnam of Computer Science — Building an ORM system is a quagmire which starts well, gets more complicated as time passes, and before long entraps its users in a commitment that has no clear demarcation point, no clear win conditions, and no clear exit strategy.
mk-query-digest — Parses logs and more. Analyze, transform, filter, review and report on queries. Nice tool for digging deeper when mysql reports something as "slow"...

Max Barry: Memory blockers for pediatric medicine — Author Max Barry recounts the story of his daughter's trip to the hospital for a broken arm, where she was given memory blockers rather than painkillers. Um. Yay?

Any military commander who is honest with himself, or with those he is speaking to, will admit that he has made mistakes in the application of military power. He's killed people unnecessarily—his own troops or other troops, through mistakes, through errors of judgment. A hundred, or a thousand, or ten thousand, maybe even a hundred thousand. But he hasn't destroyed nations.

And the conventional wisdom is: don't make the same mistake twice. Learn from your mistakes. And we all do. Maybe we make the mistake three times, but hopefully not four or five.

They'll be no learning period with nuclear weapons. Make one mistake and you're going to destroy nations.
