- Bonnie Bassler: Microbes Are Talking To Each Other And Plotting Against Us By Steve Silberman Trim and hyperkinetic at 40, Bonnie Bassler is often mistaken for a graduate student at conferences. Five mornings a week at dawn, she walks a mile to the local YMCA to lead a popular aerobics class. When a representative from the MacArthur Foundation phoned last fall, the caller played coy at first, asking Bassler if she knew anyone who might be worthy of one of the foundation's fellowships, popularly known as genius grants. |

Batteries (Mar 21 2003 21:42 GMT) - Mac OS X Hints has a good article about Li-Ion batteries today. Well worth reading for those of us used to discharging our NiMH batteries all the way before recharging. The bad news is that you pretty much have to factor in another CAD$100/year on your laptop’s price to cover the cost of replacing the battery in 2-3 years, which you’ll have to do regardless of how much you use the computer.... |

- While mailing with the developer of Mckoi (Tobias Downer) when he was repairing a corrupted database he pointed out that the shutdown procedure might be the problem.There is the possibility right now that it is safer to stop SnipSnap using Ctrl-C instead of the command line version!I (leo) reviewed the code and it might be that the shutdown is initiated twice when run from the command line. I will be working on it and present a patch next week.Thanks to Tobias Downer the database repair will be safer and JeffC now has his database back. |

- I'm feeling uneasy, man Yeah, the war is part of it. I have some personal things going on, too- I'm worried about my Mom's upcoming operation, and I haven't heard from my brother in a few weeks so I'm worried about him. And I keep having thoughts of throwing all of this out the window and starting over. |

- So, now we hear reports that civilians in the West are stopping traffic and trashing McDonald's restaurants. Meawhile, civilians in Iraq are greeting the troops rolling into Safwan and Umm Qasr with waves, smiles, and shouts of "Ameriki!" and "Saddam no good!" Now, with Paul Berman's article in the New York Times Magazine, and the Salon interview, it starts to make more sense. The antiwar activists don't understand their history. |

Sickly (Mar 21 2003 21:15 GMT) - I knew last night that I wasn't feeling great(thought it might have been the weather)...but it wasn't till this morning (when I woke at 6am, and couldn't get back to sleep for discomfort) that I knew that I was actually sick.For the record, there are a lot of times that I don't feel 'well', per se. Many times when I'm immobilized by migraines. But not often that I'm actually sick. |
