Hi,
I'm new around here, and I have a question that I really need to get answered and I hope that I can get help with that here.

You see, I was wondering if anyone knew the exact year and by whom this picture was taken:

Today's Amazon gold box daily deal is the complete BBC series of the Office for $25.

i posted before but did SOMETHING wrong cause the pictures didn't show up! =) maybe i'm just a space case...that would make sense. i've been a lurker for quite some time now, but haven't posted. i thought i'd post these pictures i scanned, as i haven't seen them posted here before and he's smokin' hot so everyone deserves to gander at them! =)

( enjoy )

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

Evening all!

It's the 11th of November today and so Armistice Day, or I believe it's Veterans Day in the US? As a symbol of the day and of the wars fought, especially WW1 and WW2 we Brits wear a poppy and hold a two minutes silence at 11am to honour fallen soldiers past and present.

Are either of these traditions common in the US? Do you wear a poppy or are familiar with them as a symbol of the day? Are we the only ones who wear a poppy? Do you wear anything else instead? Any discussions are warmly welcome; my mum and I were discussing this this afternoon and neither of us know if Britain's unique in any of this!

The Beatles-Museum-Cafe "Yellow Submarine" in Bad Ems, Germany.

I found this place casually, when I was in Bad-Ems, a little city in Rhineland. I cant pass by, and simply came in to look around:)
