  • Evan has a touch of pneumonia, which may be the result of RSV. Another kid at day care had it. Been a fun two days of ‘vacation.’ #
  • 8mo old + breathing treatments = mucho screaming. #

Take the Sci fi sounds quiz I received 93 credits on

How much of a Sci-Fi geek are you?

And I know which one I got wrong… A second after I clicked the wrong answer I knew the right one. Oh well, I guess that keeps me from getting 100%. :)

Where’s Santa?

reindeerevan.jpgGone are the days of radio updates of where Santa is, now we can get REAL-TIME on your fat-man tracking ass.

First, you can visit NORAD’s web site for tracking Santa that is in 5 languages and features a map that updates every few minutes. Second, they have a link to a kml file for Google Earth so you can track Santa in 3D. I had fun with my daughter this morning showing her the difference of where we are vs where Santa is right now using Google Earth.

Not following Santa, but fun just the same… For those of us around Chicago, if you’re jonesing for some Holiday lights check out Chicagoloand Christmas Lights. Its main feature is a color coded Google map of 216+ well decorated houses around the Chicago area.

  • @ddribin how did driving go? #

  • ptrdiff_t? Holy crap, why didn’t anyone tell me this exists? There must be some flaw in using it. #
  • okay, my reading says ptrdiff_t should be 32-bit on 32-bit systems and 64-bit on 64-bit. I’m trying to confirm this #
  • Further reading makes it seem like I really want uintptr_t. Gah! #
  • @ddribin yeah…but if you need to do pointer math and are dealing with some funky ODBC quirks… #
  • @tyr everything around there is just as expensive. However, we should food and beer in NYC. My Daily Show plans were ruined by strike! #
  • @ddribin Oh, in rereading, I see what you were saying. I was just confirming that the ptrdiff and uintptr were actually defined somewhere. #
  • Has anyone noticed, I like (good) beer? Blame Jon Roma. #
  • I’m so tired of helping desperate, flailing, knowledgeless people. I wonder how the BIG project people deal with it. #
  • @maigrey we drink so much we end up drinking a log? Okay, we do. #
  • argh, 20% reduction #
