Getting Slashdotted is a thing of the past, now you can get Dooced: post an entry that causes your feed subscribers to actually visit the site itself, and overwhelm your server. Note this is definition two for 'dooced', the first being "to have posted work-related things on your personal blog and get fired for it."

Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) posted a very nice piece on Iran (specifically President Ahmadinejad) on his blog. Definitely worth a read.
I went to install the Flex3 Apache compiler module on my server today, and it supports glibc 2.4 and higher only, which means no RedHat 4 (or derivatives). So no Flex server compilation for me, since there doesn't seem to be source anywhere to compile against glibc 2.3.
Adobe has released Flash Player 9.0.48 for Linux, and my bicycle dashboard seems to work now, which is good news, since that app was undoubtedly not the only one affected. If you're on Linux, go get it!
I accidentally fat fingered an address in Google Maps and got this set of directions. Pay particular attention to segment 16.
Chris Phillips (another Portland CFer) is finally blogging, which is good, because we need more tall skinny guys in the blogosphere.
cfframeworks.com did an interview with me last month on (surprise) ColdFusion frameworks, and they've just published it.
Not work safe (unless you've got headphones), but a great video none the less. Very creative.
Jared has posted a partial cf.objective 2007 session listing on the conference site.
Saw this on Brandon Long's (the author of ClearSilver) sig line:
Don't get suckered in by the comments — they can be terribly misleading. Debug only code.
– Dave Storer
Which isn't to say comments are bad, but they are NOT a replacement for clear, readable code. Well written code should require very few comments, as it explains itself directly.
