Walking down Mass ave in Cambridge, MA, after leaving the Middle East and 3 Police Motorbike wizz by, followed by 5 Police Cars and a Paddy Wagon. Then the all do a U turn and come racing back up Mass Ave. While waiting for the bus 2 or 3 more go racing by, all with full sirens & lights. So WTF was going on?

Nice example of the good usage of flash or flex.
A pint of plain.
In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a darlint plan
You still can turn to a brighter life –
A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN
Beach!
One of my favourite pics that I’ve taken while back home in Ireland. A lot of grays, but I really like the different textures of the clouds and the sea, and the 2 wans snogging:
Cantab & Burgers
Went to The Cantab Lounge in Central Sq in Cambridge on Friday night. Frank the chef (or one of the chefs?) from Tim’s Tavern, long closed, on Columbus Ave in Boston now cooks at The Cantab. Tim’s did a really good burger and that’s what we had at the Cantab, a really good big tasty burger for $5.95. The chips (fries for all your Amerikans) were kinda lame, but the burger was really tasty and big!
Ended up staying for the music, Shirley Lewis and the Fatback Band.
Shirly is 70 and she does rock the house. She’s a good singer and really knows how to pump the audience, might go back next weekend and hear her sing again!
I think the band are a bunch of regulars who play most weekends with different singers, they’re good too. And worth hearing by themeselves. If you go, look for the mini-rubber chicken hanging off the bass drum!
Ruby
Went to the Boston Ruby Group’s monthly meeting last night. Walked over Mass Ave bridge (how many Smoots?) and there was a really amazing sunset. Big gray clouds with these holes that the sun was blazing through. This photo taken with my phone doesn’t really do it justice:
Debian 4.0 Etch!
Was recently released!
Nice tutorial on how to setup a Etch server:
