RasterWeb!SQLite: An Embeddable SQL Database Engine and DBD::SQLite – Self Contained RDBMS in a DBI Driver are a great combination for the perl hacker on your gift giving list this year.

Hmmm, I had thought Go Daddy was a good registrar, but upon trying to hit their site today I see:
We’re performing system upgrades that require us to take this site down temporarily. We’ll be back up and running in about three hours — so please check back! You’ll have a faster, more secure, higher capacity site to enjoy when you do!

. Because we all know that just isn’t a good idea…
