Did Fox News really need to refer to it as a "disco inferno"?

Ok, I don't know how I pulled that off, but I got a "B" in my Distributed Databases class.

I wonder if Dr. Kenevan reads my blog and knows the crap I've been going through lately with work and everything.

Woohoo! Another long-overdue update to one of my favorite sites: The Secret Weapons of Commodore
