  3. mstone at Perlmonks is pissed off about functional programming, via the LtU forum. Much more of a worthwhile rant than it sounds like it'd be from the title.

Congrats to the Minutemen

lgf: Minuteman First Phase Ends Without Violence.

Despite the media’s dire predictions, the month-long first phase of the Minuteman Project has ended with no violence, and only one threat—a threat against the Minuteman volunteers. Confederate Yankee has more.

Kudos! The Minuteman project seems to have been wildly successful. Confederate Yankee writes:

The stoner ACLU volunteers were apparently the only Americans in the Naco/Douglas corridor over the past month who broke the law.

Flight schedule for May

I haven't been able to post over the last day or so since my host moved my site to a new server. PHP's sessions weren't working on the new server, so I couldn't log in. Anyway, here's my flight schedule for going to Nashville and then California. I have an action-packed two weeks! Smiley

Date Flight # From To Plane Food
Thu, May 19 3303 Newark, 3:55pm Nashville, 5:14pm ERJ-145 snack
Sun, May 22 2388 Nashville, 3:40pm Houston (Bush), 5:44pm ERJ-145 snack
" 122 Houston, 7:29pm San Diego, 8:51PM 737-800
Tue, May 31 449 San Francisco, 11:15am Newark, 7:56pm 737-800 Lunch!

The flight to Houston is, obviously, a layover. My friend in Houston says that airport is really huge and overly complicated, so that'll be fun to see anyway Smiley

All flights are Continental. Total price was $571 (it was $556, but the price jumped $15 just while I was looking at it), which isn't bad at all for three flights, and they had flights exactly the times of day I needed them. And after searching on pretty much every travel site I could, it seems that just about everyone else would have given me a layover on every leg of the trip, not just one, and it seems everyone else was more expensive too. I also can't fault Continental for the layover from Nashville to San Diego, since that's to be expected.

It worked out really well too, because my friend I'm going to California with was able to get on the same plane as me going home, though he's flying out separately. We even were able to easily pick seats next to each other using Continental's neat seat chooser widget.
