Bubulle’s improvements on running make me envy him. Of course, I’m nowhere close to Dirk’s (or for that matter, I can only hope never to be as insane as Mauricio). I must admit that I have heavily reduced my running. This is in no small part due to the fact that it’s not easy to find decently-priced running shoes of the right size in Mexico - But well, that’s only an excuse after all. But yes, if I run over 7Km with my current shoes, I get blisters, invariably. And I’m a bit short on money right now… Partly, I’ve...

After thinking it over a couple of times, I did it. I told you here about the World Naked Bike Ride.

I think I should follow up on Victor’s lament. Yes, we have a Rails application which works fine most of the time… But quite often, throws out a segmentation fault I just have been unable to pin-point. It might be related to rmagick, the only non-pure-Ruby component I am using (and I’m tempted to try minimagick instead, even if I prefer in-memory operations than on-disk, piping an image and slurping it again). Victor came up with an easy script to check the server - but to reduce the impact it has (I was running a single Mongrel instance, which meant,...
