Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese Red Fire Dog Year!

We headed out to the Charleston Kennel Club dog show yesterday, and I think we might head out there again today. Of course, we spent most of our time watching the labs. There were lots of really nice looking labs out there that all seemed to make Nala seem really scrawny by comparison. I wonder if we’re feeding her enough…

Nala’s breeders were there showing some of their dogs, including Nala’s sire, Angus. That’s him in the picture with his human. Nala comes from pretty thick stock.

Ok, who broke my libpng!

Well, seems that at some point between PHP 4.4 and PHP 5, something about my libgd, libpng or zlib broke, because now I’m getting all these
PHP Fatal error: imagepng() [<a href='function.imagepng'>function.imagepng</a>]: gd-png: fatal libpng error: zlib error in ...
errors popping up. I know it worked a while ago. Not sure why it’s not working now though.
Great, something else to dig into. One of these days I’m just going to have to break down and redo the whole server.

Remembering Challenger

Hard to believe that tomorrow will be the 20th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger accident. I was in 11th grade when it happened. I remember walking down the hall from my locker in school when I saw a friend of mine who told me the space shuttle exploded. My first response was naturally disbelief, and it wasn’t until I got home after school that I saw what happened on TV.
There’s an interesting article over at MSNBC talking about 7 myths about the Challenger accident. I particularly like the last sentence of myth 7:

The disaster need never have happened if managers and workers had clung to known principles of safely operating on the edge of extreme hazards – nothing was learned by the disaster that hadn’t already been learned, and then forgotten.
