I've just had to watch 30 minutes of pre-schoolers' TV, and then I get into work to find Rackspace Comitted Coffee in the kitchen.

I'm not sure which scares me more; watching a tiger put its cheese to bed 5 times on the shiny show, or the picture of "One of our fanatical techs at midnight after drinking Rackspace Coffee all day" which illustrates the jar.

Although I've just joined 50bookchallenge I don't imagine I'll manage that many in a year (too many other commitments), but I've decided I *will* log all the books that I *do* read.

My Amazon Wish List is probably the best indicator of what I *plan* to read.

There aren't likely to be many O'Reillys on my lists, as I generally read them piecewise through Safari

[partial] means I've read > 40% of the book

I seem to have gotten PHP4.3.3 and PHP5.0.0b3 running on the same hardware.

Ow.
