In 'Karma Bites', it turned out that the microphone jack was fine. Somehow, an internal setting changed (which I never touched) that disabled it.
In 'Stripping NULL', it turns out that you can just use String#unpack("A*"). Duh.
Last, and most interesting, I have a follow up to 'From COTS to OSS' (a talk on switching from Oracle to PostgreSQL) which you can find here. I think the two most interesting slides are where he mentions the failings of Linux as compared to Solaris 10, and their use of of Perl's DBD::Pg to accomplish atomic transactions, since PostgreSQL doesn't actually support them (unless they were adding in 8.2, which I haven't checked).
