You Don't Care About This

I used to have a website where I posted random tidbits of information. I haven't bothered to resurrect it after I changed hosts, so I'm going to post something here instead. Thaddeus has posted random coding snippets in the past, so it must be cool.

Earlier today I found myself asking the question, "How do I tell if a statically linked application was built with glibc or uclibc?" The answers of course is:

"nm | grep _main | grep __"


Since you didn't ask, I've just told you.

Iowa, where's that?

Unfortunately, I bet that's a phrase a bunch of golf fans were uttering today.

In case you don't follow golf whatsoever (I admit, for the most part I don't either), Zach Johnson surprised a bunch of people by winning the Masters today - the golf equivalent of the Super Bowl.

Zach is a native Iowan, who grew up in the Cedar Rapids area. It turns out he is related to some good friends of our family as well. I have met and talked with him at several Hawkeye tailgates, so I have always rooted for him to do well. It's very cool to have him win such a huge tournament. Now, I hope he enjoys the media whirlwind as people try to figure out how someone from this state in the middle of nowhere can manage to play golf, and beat the invincible Tiger Woods.

Congratulations Zach.
