we went to see ratatouille last night, and it met every one of my expectations. brad bird really is a genius when it comes to animation.

most of the previews before the movie were real clunkers (mr. bean’s holiday was the worst), but the trailer for the simpsons movie was great to see on the big-screen. i can’t wait for the film

the picture is of me as a simpsons character, more or less, thanks to the official movie site. my wife celia made one too.

now it’s not like i have a shelf of simpsons toys in my bathroom, but i am a pretty big simpsons fan. the directv dvr in our bedroom is set to record episodes, and i will often watch one while i’m waiting for celia to finish her nightly routine.

25 days!

as i’ve been threatening to do for quite some time, i’ve finally made the source code for bugs.mysql.com available. it is not the prettiest code, and there’s still all sorts of hard-coded company-specific stuff in there. but it is free code, so stop complaining.

it is available as a bazaar repository at http://bugs.mysql.com/bzr/. i have not yet set up any sort of fancy web view, or mirrored it to launchpad.

i plan to do the same for the lists.mysql.com code some day. one limiting factor now is that machine only has python 2.3 on it, and bazaar needs python 2.4.

before we brought wonton home, we picked up a few dog toys. and we’ve added a few more since then. but his new favorite toy is wadded-up pieces of packing paper from amazon. he almost knows how to play fetch with them.

and the first time he chased one down, but kept kicking away with his paws before he could snatch it up in his mouth, was one of the most adorable puppy moments you could have ever seen.
