I was talking to Brodie tonight, and he mentioned how little activity there has been here lately. I’ve been pretty busy with work, and traveling, so I asked him if he wanted to post… and he agreed. 
A new poster was added to Steve’s Weblog!
upgraded, testing
My stepfather passed away on Monday, September 17. The obituary was published in the Bergen Record here: http://www.legacy.com/northjersey/DeathNotices.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=94708236
To determine which employers are best for entry-level workers, BusinessWeek used a three-part method. First, we surveyed career services directors at U.S. colleges to learn which employers were tops on their list. We then asked those employers to complete a survey on their hiring, pay, benefits, and training programs, which we then compared with others in the same industry. Finally, we obtained from Universum Communications, a Philadelphia research company, the results of its 2007 survey of 44,000 U.S. undergraduates who were asked to identify their five most desirable employers. The employer survey counts for 50% of the final ranking, while the career services and student surveys count for 25% each.
We got back late Wednesday from a 5 day trip to Disney World in Orlando. Nhut snapped a few pictures, which are now up in the gallery.
2.2.3 is a security and bug-fix release for the 2.2 series. Since this is a security release, we suggest you upgrade immediately. Two of the fixes are high priority.
Done.

Bin Laden slams capitalism in new video
By LEE KEATH, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 40 minutes ago
CAIRO, Egypt – In a new video released ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden made no overt threats but lectured Americans on the Iraq war and criticized global capitalism, calling its leaders the real terrorists.
His emergence Friday comes at a time when terrorism experts believe bin Laden’s terror network is regrouping in the lawless Pakistan-Afghanistan border region — and it underlines the U.S. failure to catch him.
This guy is an embarrassment, who voted for him anyway?
Bush has bad day at Sydney Opera House
By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer Fri Sep 7, 6:49 AM ET
SYDNEY, Australia – President Bush had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day at the Sydney Opera House.
He’d only reached the third sentence of Friday’s speech to business leaders, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, when he committed his first gaffe.
“Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit,” Bush said to Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
Oops. That would be APEC, the annual meeting of leaders from 21 Pacific Rim nations, not OPEC, the cartel of 12 major oil producers.
Bush quickly corrected himself. “APEC summit,” he said forcefully, joking that Howard had invited him to the OPEC summit next year (for the record, an impossibility, since neither Australia nor the U.S. are OPEC members).
The president’s next goof went uncorrected — by him anyway. Talking about Howard’s visit to Iraq last year to thank his country’s soldiers serving there, Bush called them “Austrian troops.”
That one was fixed for him. Though tapes of the speech clearly show Bush saying “Austrian,” the official text released by the White House switched it to “Australian.”
Then, speech done, Bush confidently headed out — the wrong way.
He strode away from the lectern on a path that would have sent him over a steep drop. Howard and others redirected the president to center stage, where there were steps leading down to the floor of the theater.
Two words George: MORE ON. 
Larry Craig had to resign, the only gay Republicans are the ones still in the closet.
