Voted Today

Early Voting in Wake County. Started @ 11am. Got there @ 11:10am. Left there @ 1:07pm. That's almost two hours. There were many other people there, obviously, given the time it took. I had ot do it b/c I'll be in California on the 2nd, and California doesn't need my Kerry vote anyway. :)

I'm very concerned about the amount of voter intimidation and disinformation going on in Ohio, Florida, and, well, any other state that Bush is virtually tied in. As ugly as 2000 was, this one could be even worse. I hope millions of Democrats that sat 2000 out are going to be showing up for this one. it would be nice to get outside of the margin of error that puts things in the hands of the Refs.

Goin back to Cali

Cali, Cali
I'm going back Cali, yo, I don't think so.

For work stuff again. An annual in-house technical conference. Part of this bites, like the part that says we aren't getting cars paid for. And the part that says I have to leave the afternoon of Oct. 31, thus missing the first time Trick or Treating will be fun with Trevor. But it's not all bad. I get to hang out with really smart people for 10 days getting up to speed on what's new in the company from a technical perspective. I get to see Jeremy again, and probably get teased about the whole minivan thing. And I get to watch a few movies I've bought but haven't taken time to watch. And I'll probably get some more of my book read, which I haven't allotted much time for lately.

MT Bayesian Problem

I've been having a problem with MT-bayesian when I try to delete spam. Seems to an issue with somethign the perl module is calling, but looking at the source, I can't figure out WTF the problem is. (and it's not like I know much of anything about this stuff to begin with).

Here's the error:

Can't call method "remove" without a package or object reference at /home/dani/public_html/mt/lib/MT/App/BayesianTrain.pm line 519.

And looking at the module BayesianTrain.pm, here is the offending seciton:


require MT::Bayesian;
my @bys = MT::Bayesian->load({ blog_id => $blog_id });

for my $obj (@bys) {
next unless ($obj->comment_id);
next unless ($allspam || $obj->is_trained);
if ($obj->spam>0) {
require MT::Comment;
my $cm = MT::Comment->load($obj->comment_id);
$cm->remove;
$obj->remove;
}
}

The transformation is complete

It began one day in 1995 when I got my driver's license. A big step was taken when I consciously chose to engage in the behavior that rendered this unto us. And then I did something my father failed to do. But it wasn't until a week ago that the transformation was complete.

I present to you the nail in my coffin. My Minivan.
