I’ve put together another Google Map on fire status. At this point, it should be taken with a whole shaker of salt. I’m using the City Of Malibu sources, but note that the mandatory evacuations area is larger than the road closures, which doesn’t make sense.
T-CEP @ 10:02 AM:
There is no threat to Topanga Canyon at this time.
Malibu:
The fire has consumed 2200+ acres and destroyed 35 homes.
Mandatory Evacuations: All areas from Corral Canyon west to Trancas Canyon Road.
All residents are urged to be prepared to evacuate and to immediately follow instructions given by Fire Department and Sheriff’s Department personnel.
An evacuation [...]
HereInMalibu has great photos and news from the fire again. I think she needs to move:

If you’re listening to fire reports on local AM radio, take their geography with a (big) grain of salt. They’ve got the fire all [...]
New reports of a fire near Kanan Dune Rd. in Malibu. For my family and friends, this is nowhere near me. Farther than the last fire.
I’ll be updating on this site as I get information. Probably not as frequent updates as last time. My Internet is out at home (unrelated to the fire) and I’m [...]
I lived with it for ages. I tried to fix it on my own, by selecting different emulation types. Finally I Googled for it. And pretty much instantly found the answer:

Update: And to [...]
Umm. I don’t recognize myself in there at all. No, not at all. Umm, I think the phone’s ringing.

I follow the Ubuntu Geek blog, and have found some very useful tips there. However, there’s a problem with their latest tip, “Howto Check you (sic) external IP Address from the command line.”
Some background: There’s a very useful website located at whatismyip.com, which reports the IP you used to connect to the site. If you’re [...]
Here’s a reason to think twice about your colocation provider: CIHost.com has been broken into four times over the past two years, and had servers and equipment stolen. Their Chief Corporate Counsel, James Eckels, says the robbers “Knew what they’re doing,” and that their facility is “in a bad part of town.”
There’s very little payoff [...]
