New Theme – Whiippii!

I’ve moved into a new theme called Aqueous-Lite. Those of you reading my blog through my feed are welcome to check it out…

Amazon Recommendations, Big Giant Collection Books, Reprints and New Editions

I really like Amazon. I really like Amazon’s recommendations and ever since I inputed most of my books into Amazon I get really good recommendations.
There is one thing that bothers me, though.

libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration

I got the following annoying little error after I tried to upgrade to a newer mod_python on my Gentoo Linux box:

Associating Multiple OpenID Identities – I’m not the only one…
