I can’t help but wonder if, what with Zed Shaw’s talk of switching to Python and Django, if Guido and Adrian view him the way Barack Obama is portrayed as viewing Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in The Obama Files…

Don’t Believe Your Web Stats
Don’t Believe Your Web Stats is a great article that covers how web visits are logged, how spiders and bots behave, how user behaviour can skew your stats and untimately, why you shouldn’t put too much faith in stats based on server logs.

You Can Has Job
The LOLcats site I Can Has Cheezburger? is looking for a .NET developer:
We’re looking for a Full-Time .NET Developer with a passion for coding with “srsly gud” .NET expertise. You will make the intarwebs a better tube for millions as we expand the capability and awsumness of our sites. We offer flexible hours, a great work environment, health benefits and freedom from the tyranny of spelllcheck.
The One and Only Technical Requirement:
A deep, deep, deep understanding of developing, deploying and managing customer-facing web sites using ASP.NET (using C#), SQLServer and IIS. We need .NET developers who have been working with the .NET (ASP.NET, IIS and SQLServer) for years and years and years (like at least 5).
I figured I’d start off the working week with a big announcement: I’ve landed a new gig. As of this Thursday, March 6th, I’m going to be working at b5media, a network of 320 blogs that gets a total of over 10 million unique visits every month.
Depending on whom you ask, my new job title will be “Nerd Wrangler” or “Technical Project Manager”. I’ll coordinate b5’s development team and their projects, as well contribute my own experience and expertise in both blogging and accordion-playing.
I’m going to have a rather interesting first day on the job. Rather than heading to the office, I’m heading to the airport and boarding one of these…
…because along with a good chunk of b5, I’ll be attending the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas…
…as well as attending BarCamp Austin…
…where I plan to catch up with old friends and business associates and meet some new ones!
I’ll be staying at the ranch that b5 rented and attending the conference, taking copious notes and photos (and posting them here) as well as meeting up with the b5 bloggers and development team, who come from all over.
I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again:
Watch this space for my posts from Austin!

On My Agenda Next Week…
The quick version of the Zero Punctuation review of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune: Some very nice visuals, nothing new either gameplay- or plot-wise, and if you’re a white supremacist, you’ll love this game. Watch the full review!
Robert Scoble (on Twitter): “The fact that Bill Gates couldn’t ship one new thing at his last Consumer Electronics Show was an indictment of their product pipeline,” and “Out of all the companies I study Google has the best product pipeline and best management. No one has figured that out yet.”
