Wednesday fill-in

Since Heather’s having issues with her net connection this morning, I thought I’d fill in by rounding up a few posts that came across my smaller subset of the Lowcountry Blogroll.

Bushido Way discovers that the labels on Coors bottles really are temperature sensitive. I wonder if the cans do the same thing.

Lowcountry Foodie provides more drool inducing photos and commentary about the new Charleston Grill.

Mustang Rolling is on location at the Citadelproviding some commentary on the fear culture developing at schools

Brian worries the storm system off the coast might get a little stronger.
Back to work for me now.

Movies you never get tired of watching

What movies do you never get tired of watching?

You know, those movies that you always stop at when channel surfing, or the ones that always come off the shelf when there’s nothing else to watch or do, the movies you enjoy watching no matter how often you’ve seen them already. Not always your favourites, but probably pretty high on the list. Everybody has them.

Here are some of the ones in my list (in no particular order):

These are some of the ones that came off the top of my head so it’s far from complete, but should cover most of them. What are yours? Feel free to leave a comment here with your list or post it to a blog entry.

There’s an echo in here…

I think I’ve figured out why the server stats spiked with the new server.

After looking at the web server stats and access logs, the visit volume hasn’t changed, but the bandwidth per visit doubled for some reason. While monitoring the access logs, I noticed that page requests were being logged twice for some reason. So either the webserver is logging things twice for each request, or the server is serving up each request twice, effectively doubling the bandwidth.

So, now to figure out why Apache is acting up like this and how to fix it.

Update: Found the culprit. Turned out to be an extra CustomLog directive in the config file that was causing requests to be logged twice. That means the increased web server bandwidth is just an illusion.

Spotted this over at Bureau 42 and got a kick out of it. It has a great ending 🙂

There are 3 other parodies to go along with this one, but the first one is the best.

Diagnostic medical physics wiki project

One of my ongoing projects at work has been to document the test procedures and processes we use. I initially started with putting them into a CMS (e107) but recently decided to switch to a wiki format. Inspired by CharlestonWiki and after using Mediawiki for a couple other wiki documentation projects in the department, I’ve started up my own medical physics wiki project.

For the most part, It’s going to contain all the test procedures and work processes specific to the way we do medical physics here in MUSC Radiology, but I plan to include a lot of other general diagnostic medical physics stuff as well. It’ll be a place for me to dump all the stuff I know about diagnostic medical physics and imaging. It’s going to primarily be for personal reference, but if other people benefit from it, so much the better.
