While waiting for my machine to struggle through a PostgreSQL dump/restore of huge blobs, read through raph's thesis paper. It was, to use the favorite word of Slashdot editors, interesting.

It did seem to fly off on a tangent though when talking about apache memory pools, and this one sentence seemed a bit whacked "A dual attack is to prevent block good nodes from acquiring valid stamps." But otherwise I thought the dialog was very true-to-life, and the characters very believable :)
