Liga used to write here on mazais weblogs - a part of this [multi-blog] site, with her posts covering a number of interesting topics, written in both English and Latvian.

Now she’s the author of Marketing Garden - a blog about Marketing, Advertising, PR, Design, and Social Media. In the last couple of days it also got a new domain name [ marketing-garden.com ].

Congratulations!

Her most popular blog post: making logos

We are going up to BarCamp Ireland 3 in Dublin tomorrow. Looking forward to see interesting presentations and meet people active in startups, technology and social media.

But that brings up a question - where to stay? If traveling from Galway to Dublin for an event like this it makes sense to stay overnight in Dublin. But all the places are either booked out or insanely priced (for student budget at least).

This reminds me about a very cool project - "Can I Crash?".

Quote: ... is a project of toothless tiger initiated by Henriette Weber Andersen - who basically is a young female who is tired of busting her entrepreneurial budget when there is things ( dinners, conferences, vacations) in other countries ( or cities) she wants to attend.

So this young female is thinking that if she opens her house to fellow bloggers ( after following the guidelines) when they are looking for a place to stay in Copenhagen or Denmark - maybe some other bloggers will open their house to her ( or other bloggers again) in other countries - that's the idea. This is how we are going to try out if it works in practice.

A quick look of the site shows that fellow bloggers may help you out if you are going to San Francisco and other places in the US. Europe is much less represented, e.g., in France it's only Lyon and in Ireland - in Limerick and Wicklow. Dublin's not on the list, though.

Can someone in Dublin offer a place to stay overnight this Saturday night? Actually, this post probably came to be too late to help us but this initiative is good to spread a word about anyway. We should put Galway on its list, too. What do you think?

This is interesting:

PUSSH is "Pythonic Ubiquitous SSH"

- a command line wrapper script for sending commands to multiple machines in parallel, i.e. in *real time*, with options for controlling the degree of parallelism, timeouts, and node selections.

PuSSH was designed for usage on networks / clusters / machine farms with lots, or multiple hosts (or indeed over the entire internet, for that matter), ideally wherein SSH is configured with Kerberos or RSA/DSA keys in such a way as to avoid any password authentication. Using PUSSH, you can send the same command via SSH to a range of machines of practically any size, and in parallel.

Overheard in San Francisco:

- Yahoo worker: I went down to Sunnyvale on the train.
- Man 1, in surprise: Yahoo workers have to take the train? Google's got a bus. Don't you?

It's funny. Read how it ends - ValleyWag: "We've got a bus too."

Too busy to blog now.
And North California is just fine.

- cilvēki mierinājumu atrod nezkāpēc kaķos. tie kas ir vieni tiecas turēt kaķi. arī ja saimniecībā ir vairāki kustoņi, prieku cilvēks atrod tieši kaķī. suns sargā māju, govs dod pienu, aitas vienkārši izbradā dārzu, bet laime iestājas tikai tad, kad vakarā skatoties televizoru uz vēdera uzguļās kaķis. varētu teikt kaķi dod dzīves jēgu.
- nu diez vai kādam patiktu, ja skatoties televozoru viņam uz vēdera uzgultos govs...
