January 20th, 2012: Remember yesterday, when I mentioned the amazing "Sherlock Holmes Unlocks The Secrets of Effective High-Performance MySQL Database Administration"? I got a few emails saying "holy crap I would read that book" (so would I!) and then Bredon sends me... THIS.

Anyway long story short I'm pretty sure I wrote it in the future and sent it through time to be published back in 1983. I bought it and when it arrives I'll let you know what secrets I'm going to / already have left there for myself!

To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas!

December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service™ are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International™ shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)
