Deflattred
The idea of Flattr is nice, but they have one problem: They don't have good peerings for hosting their API and even worse, their DNS is slow as hell.
While their performance in Europe is ok, it's poor in the US, so I deflattred until they've fixed that.

Nasty Bug in Ubuntu 10.04 TeX Live Listings Package
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04, changing counters in listings packages isn't possible anymore (worked perfectly with 8.04, 9.04, 9.10).
The Ubuntu folks don't seem to care a lot (Bug #573653), does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Please send me an email.
Update
A solution/workaround seems to be this:
\lstset{
numberbychapter=false,
}

Dear Monty,
I've found a great comic regarding the Oracle-Sun-MySQL deal. By the way, where did you get my e-mail address from to spam me?Posted Jan 03, 2010

Book Review: Mastering phpMyAdmin 3.1
I've been using phpMyAdmin since... Hmmm... Well... The times before I used to code in PHP. So when offered to review Mastering phpMyAdmin 3.1 by Marc Deslisle, I didn't expected to learn anything new, but I was bwrong.
The book is full of information for all kinds of users from beginner to professional. I only gallopped through the first chapters covering setup, basic usage etc. while luckily not covering basic SQL topics, so if you are new to phpMyAdmin and know basic SQL, this book may be the right one for you. Since phpMyAdmin has evolved in the last years and is still evolving, also the experienced user may find something new here.
About one third of the 326 pages cover advanced topics like the SQL validator, advanced bookmarking or the database documentation generator Although I've been using phpMyAdmin for years now, some of the covered topics were new to me and my fellow reviewers.
If you are new to phpMyAdmin, you should buy this book. Even if you are using phpMyAdmin since some years, you may find Mastering phpMyAdmin useful.
