I spent mine helping to bottle 65 cases of custom peach wine up here at the Sweetgrass Farm Winery. Keith and Constance are having a local open house tomorrow, and the doors open wide on Memorial Day Weekend.
They have apple and peach wine, and blueberry gin.
And the peach wine? Yummmmmm.

I actually upgraded my phone through T-Mobile about a month ago, and it was a mistake. I went with the Free upgrade (mistake number one) and chose the Samsung SGH-T619.
It’s a piece of crap. I guess I should have known that when I chose the free upgrade.
My biggest complaint: it won’t send text messages. That’s right, one of the core features of any mobile phone, and this lousy hunk of plastic won’t do it. Every time I try to send a message, the phone says it couldn’t do it, retry?
So I send an email to the customer service at T-Mobile. Complete form letter reply.
I’m going to throw this lousy phone in a drawer, and likely pay the penalty to switch to Cingular/ATT Mobile.
I am finally fed up.
I have finally given up on Trillian releasing a new version anytime before the next ice age, and switched to the the messenger client formerly known as GAIM, now known as Pidgin.
Solid, functional, and showing signs that it is in active development. Unlike Trillian, which is slowly becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of messenger clients.
I’m sorry, but promising a cool new product, and then not letting anyone try it leads to scores of new Pidgin users.

The client visit this week (and don’t expect too many details) was to MySpace. It is interesting to get an inside perspective on their performance challenges, as well as their beyond unique infrastructure.
I am bagged, and off to write up a document for another client.

Many thanks to Otis Gospodnetic of Simpy for putting me in contact with Benjamin Reitzammer. Benjamin has graciously set up the GrabPERF measurement script on his server in Zurich.
Now that the Europeans have a growing presence on the GrabPERF Network, we need some locations in the US and Asia-Pacific.

I went back to my mother
I said, "I’m crazy ma, help me."
She said, "I know how it feels son,
‘Cos it runs in the family."The Real Me, Quadrophenia

The Boston Marathon is this weekend, in case you live in a cave. In honour of this event, the CBC has a great story about the man who won the 1907 running: Tom Longboat. [here]
