- I don't know where they got my name, but the Seybold Seminars people have been sending me junk mail for about five years. The mail pieces are big, colorful, high-production-quality designs.. which means they took a lot of toxic chemicals to produce and lots of gas to deliver, and they take up too much space in my mailbox. It's all a waste — I never asked for the stuff and don't plan to attend the seminars. |

- If your Windows machine crashed today, you have lots of company. As reported by Macintouch, John Dvorak writes, we can estimate that there are a minimum of 30 billion Windows system crashes a year. Dvorak did the math based on estimates from Bill Gates. It's an astounding level of non-productivity, all that rebooting and recovery. I guess people don't know that it's just not necessary. |

- Ögonen började bli trötta, stegen var tunga och kroppsspråket lite uppgivet. Då hjälpte det inte att golfsvingen såg likadan ut som vanligt. Annika Sörenstam orkade inte jaga ikapp Sophie Gustafson på Drottningholm. Världsettans hårda program den senaste tiden tog ut sin rätt. Ändå var det en inte alltför missnöjd Sörenstam som summerade sin tredjeplats. |

Karma (Aug 10 2003 18:58 GMT) - Its been an interesting week. Karma's a bitch sometimes and it seems that my spree on #java was enough to get me some bad karma. Sometimes lessons must be learned quickly and I have learned my lesson for the week. |

- We're hugging on the bed. Asleep. We've been there for hours; I don't know when we drifted off, but now it's three in the morning and the house is quiet. She looks so peaceful, and I'm so happy, she's dreaming on me and this is what I've always wanted. |

- Leaky streams can be a serious problem to long-running or heavily loaded applications. After a JPublish user notified me of issues he found during load testing, I spent some time looking through the code for JPublish and EdenLib trying to find streams which were opened and not closed. Lo and behold I found some and fixed them. Attempt number 2 ended with similar results: Too Many Files Open errors. |

- Trillian är en bra IM-klient, som klarar AIM, MSN, ICQ och Yahoo på en och samma gång. En ny version av Pro-versionen (för $25) kommer snart att släppas och den kommer att innehålla stöd för Jabber-protokollet. En beta-version finns redan och Jabber verkar funka än (man når mig på abstract@jabber.com, eller via ICQ på 213958640). Det finns en plug-in för att låta klienten prenumerera på RSS-flöden, men trist nog bara såna som smakar RSS 0. |

- tarzanello means dingleberry [1] in italian. you say 2 espressi but probably not 2 del pieri [2], even though there are 2 inzaghi's but only 1 del piero playing in serie a.
