Once again Amazon.de outdid themselves and delivered a book that shouldn't have been out for at least 2 weeks, but I don't complain ;-) At least now I had another Star Trek book to get into and it's even a DS9 book. Fearful Symmetry, the second book (or first depending on how you count them) in the current mini-series/crossover between the Mirror Universe-timeline and the DS9-relaunch didn't impress me all that much, but I was still kind of looking forward to a continuation of that story.

Last weekend was perfect for something like that, though, since I didn't receive a book and a DVD-box I had originally planed to spend the whole weekend on ;-)

MongoDB & Stuff
For quite some time I wanted to write something with a document-based database system again. My last trip into this area was in Feb. 2009 when I needed a small feed-aggregator for a local Barcamp and wanted to provide a live-ticker for all the tweets and photos related to that event. Back then I went with CouchDB with its slick web interface and HTTP API, but it is by far not the only attractive system on the block.
