What will come next?

Scary!

- A bit tight under the arms, don’t you think?
- Traditional fit, sir. One can’t raise one’s arms above one’s head. It tends to inhibit any impulsive acts of surrender.

I was laughing very hard.

Quote from The Bank Job (2008).

Here is the changelog:

• added option to add movies without rating them (only through the administration panel) (to create a list of owned just not yet seen dvds, for example).
• added option to select all ‘only_rated’ or ‘only_not_rated’ movies using the wp_movie_ratings_show() function call.
• char_limit option can now be passed as a parameter to the wp_movie_ratings_show() function call.
• fixed problems making the movie reviews pages non XHTML compliant.
• fixed error which prevented certain users from activating the plugin (the database table was not created).
• fixed XHTML validation error in the bookmarklet.

You will find the detailed list of changes in the changelog file. And here’s the direct download link. Enjoy!

The above picture comes from Steve Yegge’s Egomania. There’s also his great post Dynamic Languages Strike Back. Both recommended reads.

It kind of reminded me of one particular monkey…

• /etc/default/locale has been deleted (wtf?). Needed to be recreated.
• Both /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime have been deleted. Needed to recreate the links.
• /etc/updatedb.conf has been deleted. Needed to be copied from another machine.

and one major one:

• klogd now takes 5 minutes to start, which means I have to wait 5 minutes after each reboot to use the machine. Adding -x switch in the init.d script solved the problem. What was the root cause? No idea. There are only hints.

Apparently there is some reasoning behind not upgrading your linux policy.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
