Because of the relentless of search, official results for Apache documentation are at the bottom of a results page, below all the certmonkey sites. How did we end up like this? Fucking hell.

I have not been overly fond of Tycho/Scott Hansen's integration of vocals, but this absolutely slaps, as the kids say

When Desert Storm started the Royal Air Force were fairly well represented in the casualty reports. This was pre-internet, it was all TV or print, I knew a few school friends with parents involved and It was pretty nail biting in the early days.

Schools all went remote today..the roads had not been treated at all. They just did them now..at 10am. It doesn't take much to cause chaos here as there are so many hills.

Early cassette-based ROMs never took off because of speed issues, and a lack of very tiny pencils.

I saw my neighbor's giant golden lab on a rare walk in these 15F conditions. This dog just adores my kids and runs out to say hello. Unfortunately my own dog gets extremely jealous with this giant interloper, and does not deal well with him receiving affection from us. He's been sulking all day.
