Internet Special

So I'm getting ready to leave for Burning Man, and Kristen and I decide that we want to crash in Reno tonight before heading up to the playa, so we look into booking at room at the Sands, which is a decent and convenient place in Reno to spend a night.

Most important, they have a $29.99/night "Internet Special," which sounds like a pretty good deal.  What's fascinating about this Internet Special is that, while one might expect that you have to go online to get this great deal, in fact, you can't book it online.  Note the text in the image.  Live and learn.

Darwin Calendar Server

The project I've been working on at Apple is now announced, and it's the Darwin Calendar Server. This server is a CalDAV implementation written in Python using the Twisted Framework.

Since we annouced this last night, the poor little G4 we had running the Subversion and Trac instances has gotten rather intimited by all the traffic, and at the moment it's taking a nap. So if you are willing to wait until next week to take a look, you'll probably have better luck then. (Yes, new hardware has been ordered.)
