Scripting News On friendship and blogging This is a piece I've been working up to for quite some time, and it'll probably be an audio blog post at some time soon. I have five really good friends in the world. When I realized that, saying that to one of them, she said that's pretty damned good and I agree. These are people who I trust with knowing anything and everything about me. People who could call me if they needed help. I would drop everything to be there for them, and vice versa. But none of these people have weblogs, and if they had them, I wouldn't point to them, because (key point) then I would lose the ability to be friends with them. This came home to me talking with Len Apcar at the NY Times just before the DNC. In a wide-ranging discussion I said that I had given up on the idea of friendship in the blogosphere. Apcar said that now I understood something about how they approach news. You can't be friends with the people you cover. Or you can't cover people who are friends. Either way it's equally true. Okay, enough preamble. Ed Cone is a person I admire, I think he could be a good friend, I'm sure he is to his friends, no doubt there, but key point, he and I are not friends. That means I can point to him (which I do) and write about his work (which I've not done recently) without fear of turning this weblog into nothing more than a way of scratching the itches of my friends. Ninety-nine percent of the blogs you read are just that, friendship favor-trading. Not this one. I will tell you when I think someone is fucking up. They will think I am not being their friend, and they will be right. But when I say something is good, or someone is not fucking up, you can trust that I'm saying that because I believe it to be true.

The athletes represent nine sports, and 17 of the students are or have been on scholarship. Officials could not identify the students and could not say which sports are involved because of federal confidentiality restrictions. T. K. Wetherell, the university president, reported the findings in a letter to the N.C.A.A. The students could face punishment from the university and the N.C.A.A., including loss of eligibility.

PHPDeveloper.org Sebastian Bergmann's Blog: Isolated (and Parallel) Test Execution Sebastian Bergmann points out a new feature that PHPUnit (the popular PHP unit testing tool) now has - parallel_test_execution allowing for each test to execute on a separate PHP process. The advantages of this include full test isolation and the fact that a test can now cause a PHP fatal error or even a segmentation fault of the PHP interpreter without interrupting the test execution. He does mention, however, that it can cause a bit more overhead for larger testing suites since it needs to create a new process (complete with memory usage) for each running test. There are also coding issues that could be thrown off by this option (he gives an example of an inheritance issue with eZ Components). He also notes some of his thoughts on how to control/configure the process (like in a configuration file) and via an "@isolated" notation to make it easy to do it dynamically.
