Britta and I launched Unicode Holiday Xmas Tree, a web app that lets you decorate and send Unicode Xmas trees, on Monday. On Tuesday I submitted it to MetaFilter Projects and before long it was on MetaFilter as SEVEN SYMBOLS A SWAPPIN'. While looking through submitted trees for Featured Trees, I found some trees that I really liked:

On Tuesday, after the CCS All College Meeting, Jay asked me if I wanted to "go to the Bay Area". Phill's web design class had left to go San Francisco for Google I/O earlier that day, missing the meeting. Anyway, I went to my apartment to pack and we were off for an adventure.
I've compiled some pictures we've found documenting our presence at the conference:

Yep, you guessed it, you are looking at my blog served from my new virtual FreeBSD server with John Companies and using PostgreSQL. Although my previous virtual FreeBSD server has been serving me well, FreeBSD 4.11 was getting old and Jay's Menes C++ Library hadn't been compiling on it for quite a while. I have also moved to the spiffy Apache 2.2.4.
Welcome to the future!

My course, Coder's Workshop, has been rescheduled. Hopefully, this means more people can be there for the whole time.

So, regarding my class which I first mentioned in a blag entry, Coder's Workshop has been scheduled.
In other news, Britta and I discovered the problem with the Tagometer Thingy. Apparently, it only shows tags that are shared between more than one user now, even if a page has only been bookmarked by one user. Stop sucking 
del.icio.us!

That's pronounced "bar camp luh ee lemon (the fruit) odor nas tee netz", just in case you didn't know. So, yeah, Britta and I did those things and/or met those dudes while getting lost in Los Angeles.
P.S.: This conference failed to shed any light on the broken del.icio.us tagometer debacle. Even when one of the presenters turned his presentation over to a del.icio.us representative.
Also Guitar Hero II seemed to be involved in both events.

If you didn't already figure it out, my class for Spring 2007 has a web page: Coder's Workshop. Also, why is the del.icio.us tagometer broken?

So, I decided to lead a Coder's Workshop colloquium thing in the Spring, woo!
