Items that apply to ‘interesting’ subjects in my Real Life.
I’ve stumbled onto an short news item regarding the acne medicine Accutane. Quote is from Myway’s news section, as an AP newswire (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100217/D9DTLS5O3.html).
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) – A New Jersey jury has hit the pharmaceutical company that makes Accutane with a $25.16 million judgment in a lawsuit filed by an Alabama man who blamed [...]
Ran across a great quote regarding backups, in the book ‘Python for Unix and Linux System Administration:’
. . . when you are dealing with backups, treat them like nuclear weapons, as backups are fraught with danger in ways you might not even imagine.

Of course, I’ve not eaten since the meeting at Cyan yesterday, but that was part [...]
Short shout-out for Dad, MystBlogs, etc.
I find it slightly amusing that I’m a Hoboken resident, and apparently have been living under a rock until sometime Friday morning (when a co-worker mentioned the corruption roundup).
Perhaps New Jersey now has a chance of having a Republican governor again (though I was rather unhappy about Whitman, for various [...]
When an old friend tells me “I know your playing style, you’ll like this game,” the alarm bells kick off immediately (I have no interest in repeating the Travian debacle back in ‘07). In this case, however, its because he was right and I’m wondering how I may integrate this into my life. [...]
One of the major problems I have with travel (at least out of NJ) is the need for decent connectivity to work.
