I discovered that under gentoo that Apache2 + mod_perl = memory leak.

Ooooohhhhh…. how to make How-To: Rackmount your gear for cheap. I’m adding this to my TODO list 🙂
Some cool instructions on How to pull an all-nighter. And last but not least, don’t be a wimp. You have to be hardcore. You want that all-nighter. You need that all-nighter. You will get that all-nighter, and then you will tear a phonebook apart with your teeth. Man, I could have used some of this
