First my OpenSuSE machine at work decides to have it, and now I discover the reason why my Kubuntu laptop has been having horrible intermittent DNS resolution problems.
The offending entry in both cases was on the 'hosts:' line and said something like 'mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]' part away along.

Question: When is a ColdFusion structure not a structure, as checked by isStruct() ?
Answer: When the structure is a CFC !

There was a thread on CF-Talk about how best to split a large file up into records and then import them into a database - it happened to be MySQL but this note applies to every database I've ever used (including Oracle and MSSQL).

Q. When is the ColdFusion administrator password not the ColdFusion administrator password ?

A. When the password contains a £ sign.

I wrote a while back (SETI at home getting boring ?) about giving up with the SETI at home project, but I never actually did, and as I have a few more CPU cycles spare these days, I've even started to help out with the ClimatePrediction.net distributed project - which should hopefully allow us to still be here long enough to hear an alien signal.
