MySQL 5.1 configuration problem
Using Ubuntu is a thrill and a pain. I ran the update manager on our server today, and mysql-server was upgraded. And the website crashed, because mysql couldn't start. In hindsight, I think I'll test upgrades before I make them live. I didn't this time, however. So, in a desperate effort to get the site up again, I scoured the web for answers.
I had a similar problem before, wherein mysql told me it could find the /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock file, so I tried to fix it using the same methods I found last time on the Ubuntu Forums (See the post by *Select). It turns out that the problem, though it appeared similar, was different this time. I found the answer on this blog. When I upgraded, the mysql configuration file wasn't changed (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) to reflect the fact that mysql no longer supports BerkleyDB. I actually don't know what BerkleyDB is or does, but following the instructions on the blog above was enough to fix the problem for me. I hope this helps.

Google Wave
The next great release from Google is Google Wave, a web app designed to revolutionize electronic communication. Click here to check out Google Wave's preview website.
Wave is intended to imitate real communication, allowing me to maintain multiple conversations at one time. Think of it like this: email is simply electronic mail - I send a letter to a friend and await his reply. It could take hours, days, whatever the case may be. Google Wave is like having a conversation with someone in the same room. Several different threads of discussion are explored, and anyone can easily revert back to a former thread and add a comment. Wave replicates this.

Now, how to get a Wave account: Wave is currently in the preview stage, so you can only get an account via invite. So bug your friends who have one already for an invitation!
