Does your Cat Hate You? (Mar 31 2003 01:54 GMT) - I found this the other day while catching up at The Gamer's Nook. I didn't have time to investigate it then. If you have a cat, you must visit this site. You will get many minutes of amusement looking at all the pictures of cats that hate you! If you don't own a cat, be rest assured these cats probably hate you just as much! |

Storage on My Keys (Mar 31 2003 01:50 GMT) - I rarely use a floppy disk these days, but every now and again I wish for something that I can use on almost any computer, will fit in my pocket, and can be written on forever. This USB Memory Key looks like a good fit. I went with this one because you won’t need to install drivers for most modern... |

Announcing 'The Polis' (Mar 31 2003 01:46 GMT) - And so it begins. Some folks commented in my 'weblog manifesto' reponse post that it would be swell if there was a blogring for--as The Happy Tutor put it--the "poststructuralist nonconforming postmodernist recovering philosopher web polis." In the words of one nonconforming philosopher, ask and you shall receive. Thus, from... |

Only Outlaws Will Own Routers (Mar 31 2003 01:44 GMT) - Brent provides a decent summary of the current state of the art in legislation from Michigan. Well done lads. This will surely make the world safe for telco's throughout the state, and soon, coming to a world near you. Eesh. I wonder if software counts as a "telecommunications device". |

Get your time travel on (Mar 31 2003 01:39 GMT) - ++Update++: Thanks to Rachel, I found that Snopes, in record time, has debunked this story. I'm not sure if I'm pleased or not. Seems that one Andrew Carlssin, a stock trader who raised some eyebrows and has been arrested for insider trading, claims to be from the future. I personally enjoy this bit, myself: |

Giant African Snail v 1.0 (Mar 31 2003 01:35 GMT) - This slimy calcium-encapsulated application is a serious agricultural pest, ready to attack 500 plant species with crazed abandon at the slightest provocation. It will eat eggplant, chili peppers, okra, cabbage, and cacao. Not even peanuts and papayas are safe from its predatory rasping tongue. You have to admire the chutzpah of this importunate mollusc. Okay, sure, you may argue that it only travels 0. |

The IEP (Mar 31 2003 01:34 GMT) - Last Wednesday I was involved in an IEP meeting. IEP stands for Individualized Education Program. An IEP is a very important document for children with disabilities and for those who are involved in educating them. Done correctly, the IEP should improve teaching, learning, and results. Each child's IEP describes, among... |

!!! Ugh !!! (Mar 31 2003 01:25 GMT) - Please stop naming your skins starting with punctuation marks like exclamation points, etc for no good reason. I know it puts your skin first on the browse list alphabetically, but it's not fair. Make your skin popular based on its design, not the fact that its name begins with !. I'll be adding code soon that disallows this sort of naming, and I'll also be renaming existing skins that use this naming scheme. Update: |

Timing (Mar 31 2003 01:24 GMT) - Almost everything is up and running on the Xserve now. It was fairly uneventful, without many difficulties that weren't anticipated. Lessons learned: - dbm style database files are not binary-compatible across platforms. You will have to write export / import code if changing server CPU architectures. |
