It's about time I started blogging again, don't you think?
Today I fly out for the MIT Mystery Hunt, the annual rendition of the original puzzle hunt. I'm quite excited, since I get a huge rush from solving puzzles. I'll be hunting with Death From Above, as per usual.
This is somewhat complicated by the fact that somehow, I wound up being on pager duty for AeroFS this weekend. Hopefully nothing falls apart; I spent most of yesterday tracking down why one of our services kept being unresponsive. (For the curious: enabling epoll and SMP in the Erlang VM makes for huge performance gains. Why the default values for the distribution are set to "disabled" baffles me.)
On the upside, I also have a dozen AeroFS t-shirts to give away. They're super comfy!
UPDATE: landed in Boston. My CharlieCard still had fare on it.

I haven't checked your blog in about a month or two, and when I do, I happen upon the first entry in about 9 months or so. Coincidence? I think not.Have fun at MIT with the puzzle hunt!

You have code in Erlang? Cool. I remember my dad telling me about it, then using it in one of my assignments for a programming languages course in undergrad.Drew | 2013-01-18T07:05:52.751907
@Dustin: Cool, can do@Jono: Eh, we're just running ejabberd. I don't know enough Erlang to pretend to even understand the log messages. :P
