The weekend was pretty much uneventful. I did manage to flesh out the data needed for the health website, so at least now I can think about how the site itself will work with the data. I also saw an article today on some OpenID stuff that was quite helpful. It also linked to an OpenID server that I can run locally so I can use that for testing instead of using a real OpenID server. It will also be useful if my internet connection goes down!

I don't usually pay attention to adverts but I saw one tonight that I absolutely loved. It was a new Budweiser advert. Some dude has installed a rubber floor so that they never break a bottle of bud again, and it shows them doing tricks with the bottles bouncing them to each other. At the end his girlfriend is at the door holding a pizza and a dog that was on the sofa jumps down to go greet the woman, and ends up bouncing high above her and straight out of the door. When I saw that I nearly choked for laughing as it was something that I wasn't expecting at all.

I was just logging into my webserver machine through ssh when I decided to check the uptime as I couldn't remember how long it had been on (10 days, 15 hours, 24 minutes if you're curious). I saw that the load average was "0.00, 0.00, 0.00"! Getting it down to 0.00 was due to getting rid of Apache 2.0.55 and getting Apache 2.2.3 working with Subversion. Before switching I was seeing load averages of around 0.18 when the machine was doing nothing at all. I'm happy that it's now actually doing nothing at all!
