According to this lemondor entry the p*rn search engine Booble uses cmucl and PG to talk to postgreSQL. The meaning of cl-html-template even suggests it is a debian machine.
Well. At least it is not the Bush campaign :-).

People stealing code everywhere
It seems that Monsanto tried to steal a wheat variety from Indian farmers. Somehow I hope they get seriously fined for this, but I do not think the Indian farmers will get compensation for infringement on their IP.

nugget of code
Suppose you have a feature debug that you use to turn on debugging, and that if debug is on *features* you want to araneida not to cache your responses for a day. Then you can use the following code:
The #-debug #-debug will exclude both expressions that follow. Another neat trick I've learned from Erik Naggum.
(araneida:request-send-headers
request
:content-type "text/html"
;; cache this page for 24h
#-debug #-debug
:expires (+ (get-universal-time) (* 60 60 24)))
The #-debug #-debug will exclude both expressions that follow. Another neat trick I've learned from Erik Naggum.

common-lisp-controller problems
It seems some users tried to get help for clc via cliki. Too bad I didn't pay so much attention to that page lately.
So I published the clc package on alioth a bit more and created two mailing-lists for people to subscribe to. In 6 to 24 hours they should get created.
Most people complain of a lack of RPM's or the ease of adding local packages. The problem with the latter is that I don't have a rh system, nor do I wish to create one. And build farms don't seem to exist. The problem with the last issue is deeper. asdf-install doesn't define user specific system directories for any implementation that isn't sbcl. So to 'fix' clc we have to modify asdf-install or make the world more complex by dividing them in clc-enabled (with user packages) and non-clc-enabled (no user pacakges unless you run sbcl). Sigh.
Let's make it a point to chat about on sunday...
Actually users complaining means that I have users! Good >:-).

pg
Of course I notice a bug in pg's extended query support while writing the presentation about it. Sigh.

4GB is not enough?
I have a 4GB vmware-ed XP partition that I tried to upgrade to SP2 today. In vain. After downloading it for the 3rd time it told me instead of "installation failed because there is not enough space on your harddisk" the slightly better "you need an additional 493MB of free space to install XP". Sorry? There is nothing installed except the base of XP on this partition and it is too small to even containt that.
That and the problems I've been having today to get a minimal install of RHAS 2.1 makes me believe nobody is interested in the maxim "small is beautiful". Or as I think "less code are fewer bugs".
