Noch'n Zitat (Oct 17 2003 07:36 GMT) - Danny Ayers: »I've yet to see a compelling reason why anyone would want to use OPML for their primary data format - it allows you to express hierarchies in XML, sure, but XML allows you to express hierarchies in XML!« *xml icon* |

JnB on the... (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - ROX: Bart's done it. He's got the whole show online. And a comprehensive database of familiar faces, this time, many, maybe most, of whom I DO know. Please note that both Bart and Scooter appear in this website as well as in the previously-cited NecroKonicon. |

The NecroKonicon (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - The NecroKonicon I've never met Jon Konrath. But I know his canvas, which is partially my hometown. This, certainly, must be a pinnacle of his life's work. Jon's done something slightly similar previously in his archaeology of UCS project, but that was focused on computers rather than college hijinx. As someone who has scanned entire runs of zines about cough... |

Bad News indeed (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - Local hero Anita Rowland faces some hard news on the health front (this is actually the second bad bit of health news to float by this week; the other, however does not concern a blogger and so I'm shushed on the topic). Good luck, Anita and family. And good luck to my anonymous friend.... |

NaDruWriNi (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - MeNoWriFoNaNoWriMo: B2 proposes an alternative to NaNoWriMo, to which I say, what the heck, I do it anyway, right? Plus, I've always found it a soothing way to employ WiFi. Let's choke this chicken, Brother B2! I'm ready to follow you to the land of glory! |

World Wide Webley (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - I had cause to Google on some of Jason's lyrics and found some stuff I'd not seen before, maybe it's new to you as well: Laying Down by the Tracks, by Sergio Pastor - reflection and narrative on Halloween 2001, one which I found moving and which I think is a more careful and personally emotive piece of writing about... |

Well, tonight was interesting. (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - If you couldn't reach my site for a while last night, that's because some complete fucktards (several of them, apparently) staged a massive denial of service attack on our servers. The details are here if you're in the mood. I'd like to rant a bit about why they chose the site we believe was the intended target, and the kind of people behind the attack, but since an investigation is ongoing I'm going to leave it alone. Except for calling the people behind the attack and their associates cowardly fucktards, of course. Everything is kosher again now thanks to the... |

Exactly what I was thinkinig (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - The online comic Penny Arcade is dead-on in this description of the new books set in the Dune universe. If you ever decide to read the books, trust me... only read the ones written by Frank Herbert himself. Thanks to Matt for pointing the link out to me.... |

Linux and Mac OS keep looking better (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - Windows users - in case you haven't heard, you should go disable the Windows Messenger Service (not to be confused with MSN Messenger) immediately because of a new security hole for which there is no patch.

Shortlist not long enough? (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - Damien Rice wins 2003 Shortlist Music Prize. The Irishman beat out Conor Oberst, Chan Marshall, Interpol, The Black Keys and a bunch of other hip artists to take the prize. This year's judges included Cameron Crowe, Chemical Brothers, Spike Jonze, and Tom Waits. MTV2 to air live footage of some of the nominees on Oct 24. Should be interesting. |

Being English (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - Forget British. Define English. The perennial ex-pat and honorary Yank Christopher Hitchens may not be the best Englishman to define it - though his embarrassingly reactionary brother Peter is even less suited - but at least he has a go. For everyone else in the world, there are the Scottish, the Welsh, even the Northern Irish - all strong nationalities in their own right, each one older and more culturally solid than the slightly French, slightly German and slightly Dutch English. So why persist, in this post-imperialist day and age, in the myth of the Brit? |

Black Like I Thought I Was (Oct 17 2003 07:35 GMT) - Wayne Joseph of Creole stock and therefore on the lighter end of the black color spectrum, decided on a whim to take a new ethnic DNA test he saw described on a 60 Minutes segment last year, to indulge a casual curiosity about his exact percentage of black blood. The results were staggering. |
