    pop quote from a Woody Allen movie I liked a lot -- "God is a luxury I can't afford. "
    yup. he & satan have been collaborating on the most sadistic running joke in all creation
    “Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.” - Isaac Asimov how's that for irony?
    veering off now, but that's what always bothered me about the "lord of the rings" characters, their misplaced sense of "right"

    @fractalnavel reads a page/4-5 mins http://feeds.feedburner.com/FractalnavelBrowsingHistory
    varies widely, and only keeps 25 at a time, so fast stuff just doesn't get caught. not to mention surfing multi boxes & browsers
  • 2009.07.02 15:44: GAE: not a good sign when you get 500's for the status page: http://code.google.com/status/appengine anyone else ?
  • 2009.07.02 15:50: @GoogleCode - a little birdie told me - nope, that one's for advertising, it seems
  • 2009.07.02 16:37: today's GAE issue is impacting my service. some requests have failed.
  • 2009.07.02 16:38: took me a while just to get back into the app dashboard
  • 2009.07.02 16:47: GAE: ah - some news: http://u.nu/76hg . nice suggestion on error handling. at any time, anything may fail. yeah, that's why i came to you
  • 2009.07.02 16:48: but at least some of those errors aren't trappable
  • 2009.07.02 18:50: GAE FAIL - hard : http://u.nu/76hg

    @fractalnavel I guess thats why Google uses the Beta tag everywhere?
    gae isn't even beta, it's "preview"
  • 2009.07.02 19:09: gae: and just a few days ago i was toying with putting the downtime feed on my site
  • 2009.07.02 20:28: GAE total length of today's service disruption (any level) about 6 hours

    Tolkein was in a writing circle with (among others) CS Lewis. That sense of "right" is him trying to out pious Lewis.
    huh - learn somethng new every day

    @fractalnavel you might find this interesting discussion http://bit.ly/49RTpm
    hmm - yeah, sounds like the "no-sql" thing is a half-assed concept. as always - use the right tool for the job. end of story.
