One important element of a successful tech gathering is food. If you don’t feed the troops then your army isn’t marching. We’ve been very lucky this week with breakfast, lunch and dinner. We’ve been completely spoiled by David, the cook at the Ranch (and Diane too!) I didn’t have a second helping today, there was [...]
Can you imagine staying inside a sealed building for two years without physical contact with the outside world? That’s what happened at Biosphere 2 in 1991. It makes an interesting story and the Wikipedia page has a lot more on that mission and a second one that followed. We visited there today, here are a [...]

It’s hosted on blip.tv and John has uploaded a high quality version there. I won’t embed it here, go look at John’s [...]
For the next few days the header image above will be a collage of images from Automattic’s stay at Stinson Beach. Most of us are there so see if you recognise any faces! (It’s a long story, watch Trapped in the Closet first!)
Barry spoke at length about High Performance WordPress this morning, and Matt came on stage to introduce and summarise the main features of the new Hyperdb. If you missed it you’re definitely going to want to watch the video when it comes out. I certainly wouldn’t have guessed that Barry was out last night telling [...]
