As cardinals gather to elect a new pope, a shocking photo was released showing President Bush snubbing the Irish candidate for the Papacy!
(Thanks John!)

Grandma Eats Cannabis
I just heard the tail end of an interview with a 66 year old grandmother who appeared in court on Friday week ago for making cannabis laced cookies as a treat for friends and neighbours.
She was using the drug to ease her aches and back pain, for medicinal purposes.
She’s now running for election in Wales.
Guess what? She has a website with recipes and ideas! It’s grandma-eats-cannabis.com!
DNS.. depend on 'em
In More ways malware damages internet infrastructure: DNS servers, Justin touches on the problems malware cause to local DNS servers and suggests people use the root servers directly. I had to do just that because the dns server on my dsl router is crap and would keep dying trying to talk to IOLBB’s server. I installed BIND as a cahing nameserver and everything worked fine.
Later I found 194.145.128.1 is an IOL dns server I can use but at least I know it’s easy to setup a DNS server on my machine.
God help us if a tool came out for every Windows owner to query the root servers easily. *gulp*

Ignore details early on
Oh, this is so true!
We’re crazy about the details. We love the details. The space between objects. The perfect type leading. The perfect color. The perfect words. 4 lines of code instead of 7. The perfect flow. 90% vs 89%. 760px vs 750px. $39/month vs. $49/month. Success and satisfaction is in the details.
However, success isn’t the only thing you’ll find in the details. You’ll also find fixation, stagnation, disagreement, meetings, and delays. These poison projects. These are the things that kill morale (and if morale is low, your chance of success is even lower). You want to avoid these at all costs. If you procrastinate, procrastinate the details.
Hacking the Papal Election
Hacking the Papal Election – great article that examines the Papal Election process. In this day and age I’d hope that the faith of the cardinals would discourage cheating but you never know!
There is one way of hacking the process..
The process is vulnerable to other forms of attack. Like Alexander VI Borgia’s tactic of wholesale bribery and assassination of opponents…
