dad
I talked to Dad this morning. He sounds like he has much of his strength back. Getting up out of bed is still tough if not impossible, but he's getting back to normal. They're going to let him out of the hospital as early as tomorrow.



Lara says the minute he's released, she's going to take him out for a steak and a beer

You know what's really cool? Bose-Einstein condensate, that's what. And not just because it has a temperature approaching absolute zero.

Dad's in intensive care. Apparently his potassium levels were very high, and he was so weak he couldn't get out of his chair. The doctors said that the ambulance ride saved his life. Now he's on some kind of dialysis. I just got off the phone with him, and he sounds physically weak but mentally fine.

Suddenly my first choice of language seems less sensible...
Here's a graph of the CPU usage on my linode:







You can see where I moved poorsquinky.com over, then how the feed cache slowly built up, and finally sometime yesterday when I converted the pagination script from bash to perl.



I don't know why I insist on doing so much text parsing in bash. I think it's fun because it's so wrong. Apparently forking out several hundred instances of grep and sed isn't exactly efficient, though. Go fig.
