The Golden Compass

I am a fan of the book, but the movie glazed over too much.  Supposedly there will be a sequel.

Il y a longtemps que je t'aime

This is a film that my mother recommended.

It was suspenseful and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Men Who Stare at Goats

Funny. Ewan McGregor and Jeff Bridges made it for me.

First time at the
Bagdad Theater. It was rather nice inside.

Away We Go

It's been a while. This movie was cute. Why didn't they just go there in the beginning.

Stargate: Continuum

A movie that's been in the queue for relatively forever; finally the capstone on this particular Stargate saga. I like stories that alter the timeline, they're always quirky and at times challenging to figure out. Except for Primer.

Ganglia and OpenBSD

OpenBSD does't enable multicast by default. I learned this the hard way trying to get Ganglia to run on a seemingly deaf OpenBSD host.

Oh, the humanity.

My internet is still down at home.

Monitoring MySQL

Having a preference for PostgreSQL, it's a little strange to now have two MySQL servers on the network. I'm working on wiring the SHOW GLOBAL STATUS into net-snmp. It's not as easy as one might think. Following that, I'll be writing Cacti plugins for it.

Tillicum

Coworkers and I went out after work. I don't remember much, but the hamburger was decent for being so affordable.

Side Street

In the rain we walked here; busy. I had one drink (Hopworks Pale), then we were out.

Gold Dust: Meridian

Couples night: I had the salmon sandwich and Bayrn Pilsner.

She had the grilled cheese and a couple of belinis. Good times. Good people.

Widmer

Went rather late, around 8pm. I had two Pitch Black IPA, they were delicious. I had a very tasty fettucini alfredo. The ladyfriend had an equally delicious turkey sandwich with melted swiss and bacon.

Eastburn

I drank a Monks Blood from somewhere in Minnesota. Burger was enjoyed by myself. The ladyfriend had an uber sanvich, which by all accounts, lived up to its name.

Dollhouse, Season 2

I found the acting and character development of the first season lackluster.

Season two was quite a bit better. I wonder when the next season will come out.
