Whenever I've been putting off work or bored lately, I've been wandering over to LA Blogs and clicking around to some of the most recently updated sites on the blogroll. Trying to figure out why my site didn't show up updated there was even the impetus behind writing XML/RPC ping support for eThreads. The blog part of LA Blogs might not update all that often, but the site is invaluable if just for that blogroll.

In the 5+ years I've been doing this site, this is the first time I've made a post on a March 3rd. That got me wondering how many days of the year I have covered and how many I've missed. I didn't have to wonder long, though... In 5+ years I've posted on 322 of 366 possible dates. The next upcoming gap? March 13 and 14, and then the 17th and 18th. I missed a big-time chance on Sunday, neglecting to post on Feb 29. That one will take a while now.

CRM114 training is going well. This morning it had missed two spam and marked a Speakeasy invoice incorrectly. It filed 100+ spam correctly overnight, though. It's still not to the point that I would go without checking my crm-spam folder, but it's getting better and is already doing better than spamassassin was at the end.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
