Working Overtime

I'm working overtime, so here's some hot and tasty links.

Nerd Stuff

SQL to Prevayler Migration Micro-HOWTO

Rollback support in Prevayler. Uh oh, rationalizing the lack of atomicity. Sounds like the MySQL syndrome.

Prevayling Stupidity

Redhat Enterprise Content Management System. Redhat shipped a new version of the ACS. It looks a lot slicker than it used to, and they've ported it to PostgreSQL. I'm still interested in this, because my company competes in this space, too.

Architecture

Christian Science Monitor: Is that a daisy growing on your roof?. Cool! Ecoroofs rock, if I buy a house I totally want to build one.

The City of Portland has more on their ecoroof program, including a cool Q&A document (pdf).

Politics

Two bits from the centrist New America Foundation.

Michael Lind: America's Tribes

Phillip J. Longman: The Health of Nations. We've exhausted all the easy life expectancy gains, and trying to push it further with is busting the health care bank. What next?
