Here’s a snippet of the startup log… It took a whopping 8 seconds for the admin server to come up on my MacBook Pro. If you compare this to my earlier efforts to “port” WLS to Mac OS X, this is a huge improvement over the 13 seconds it took back on WLS 9.0. Of course, that was two laptops ago… :-)

Apple introduced the new iPhone 4 today, and apparently AT&T’s website is down. You would think this would be the right time to have your website up and fully operational if your hardware partner is announcing an incredibly popular new device.

I’m a big fan of Jim Butcher’s series “The Dresden Files“, and I voraciously consumed the latest (last?) book in the series. However, the cover art:

The Dresden Files:  Changes

…portrayed Harry Dresden with a face that reminded me of someone. That someone? Well, I think it looks like:

Joe Flanigan from Stargate: Atlantis

Joe Flanigan from Stargate: Atlantis. Am I right? And am I not the biggest nerd in the world? :-)
