I discovered the hard way today that MySQL seriously doesn’t like it when you run out of disk space. One serious clear up and backup restoration later and the site is working again – so much for data integrity!

I haven’t done a foreign film review for a while now so I plan to churn one out later this week, probably of the Ring 0 which I’ve been wanting to watch for a while.

Some links worth a quick click:

• The earthquake/tsunami disaster – Jet Li (the actor) witnessed it first hand and here are his surprisingly insightful thoughts on the matter.

• Torvalds: A Solaris skeptic – Interesting interview with the man who gave birth to Linux.
• Domo-Kun Mayhem – More than you’d probably ever want to know about this not-so distant relation of Red Ted.

N.B. Red Ted is now back in the UK and he should be returning home after a short visit to London on Saturday. Apparently, he’s brought visitors back over from Japan so I guess it could be interesting!
