Short and sweet

I just want to say that WCPE is still my favourite station! They have an amazing selection of music, and is the perfect coding companion (yes, I've been too busy coding to write a real blog post)! If I ever move to the Raleigh, NC area, I look forward to listening to them all day long. :-)

(Note to self: fulfil the pledge I sent in earlier this month!)

A short little appeal to programmers

Please, please, please, before you check in your changes, make sure you've updated your working copy and merged in changes made by other developers first! Enough said. :-)

Do something good—get out of bed and get down to the polls before you start drinking!

It's coming up to midnight here, so I won't risk violating electoral advertising laws by advocating any party this time. :-P No matter what, do something good tomorrow, and be sure to vote!

Two public service announcements

At the moment I'm very busy and can't scrape together enough time to write a full blog post (yesterday's one took me 4 hours(!) to write), so I'll instead post a couple of current-event items:

1. If you're a Green Party supporter (and in my opinion, if you aren't already one, you should certainly consider it), you can make your own Vote for us billboards! There's one that I found that's just as poignant as the original billboard.

   And, if you submit your creation to the Green Party Facebook page by Monday, you're in a draw to win a Greens t-shirt! (6 entries as of this writing, so your chances aren't too bad either.)

2. WCPE is celebrating its 30th birthday this year! If you love classical music as much as I do, you should definitely tune in. For the values-conscious who choose to use patent-free media formats, WCPE has an Ogg Vorbis stream (in addition to MP3 and other formats); in fact, that's how I found them in the first place, as Vorbis.com linked to them.
