Microsoft's Blog: The Scobleizer (Oct 21 2003 04:13 GMT) - The most powerful piece of software inside Microsoft may be the $40 application from a tiny vendor called Userland that Robert Scoble uses to write his weblog. Scoble, part of the Windows marketing team, publishes his personal observations at the Scobleizer Weblog . His daily ramblings, unedited by corporate brass or media handlers, give the world a window into Microsoft, building buzz for its products such as Office 2003 and creating a human face for a company that needs all the humanizing it can get. |

Microsoft aims for Office lock-in (Oct 21 2003 04:13 GMT) - Microsoft hopes its revamped Office platform, which includes a series of integrated back-office collaboration platforms, will drive the company further into the corporate computing sector. The company has re-branded the platform as "Office System", a collection that includes its traditional suite of desktop productivity applications like Microsoft Word and Excel, together with a series of integrated back-office platforms. Critics say the basic Office 2003 productivity suite offer few new features and little reason for individual users to upgrade. |

For my big project this ... (Oct 21 2003 04:12 GMT) - For my big project this evening, I was going to install the stand alone linksys print server that Peter got me for my birthday. However, I am absolutely whipped to the core - a little cfs fatigue with some fibro body aches tossed in for good measure. Very unusual for me to have both at the same time. Oh well - I think the hot tub and a good book is in order. My print server will be there tomorrow. |

Raiders Lose a Tough Must-Win; QB Controversy in the Offing? (Oct 21 2003 04:10 GMT) - The Oakland Raiders effectively ended their 2003 season tonight, at least insofar as any shot at the playoffs goes. Losing to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-10 at home, the Raiders fell to 2-5, five games behind the unbeaten Chiefs in their division.Rich Gannon got knocked out at halftime. Marques Tuiasasopo filled in quite ably, taking the Raiders from shutout and looking defeated to an inspirational comeback that fell just a yard short as time ran out. Along the way and before Gannon went down, the Raiders had and blew several opportunities to keep the game close, but the Chiefs led 17-0 at the half... |

More Mirrors of Wildernesses (Oct 21 2003 04:10 GMT) - Tom Maguire is spinning unlikely theories about the VPW affair in this this and nearby posts. His theories are unlikely. But I am becoming convinced that all theories are unlikely. Why does Ashcroft want to taint the investigation so that if it fails he'll be thought to have taken a dive? Why does Bush want to have a White House staff whom the intelligence community loathes--rather than clean his own house? |

Department of Synchronicity (Oct 21 2003 04:10 GMT) - Kieran Healy picks up, reads, and recommends George Goodman's The Money Game: Crooked Timber: International Monetary Fun: I picked up a copy of The Money Game over the weekend in a second-hand bookshop in Melbourne. It's a minor classic in the literature on the stock market, so naturally I hadn't heard of it until a few months ago when Daniel mentioned it in a comments thread. |

Cyber-Stalking Paul Krugman (Oct 21 2003 04:10 GMT) - These days people like David Warsh, who used to write about how the New York Times's editors needed to hold Paul Krugman to "elementary standards of courtesy and fair play" now write that Krugman "turned out to be absolutely right [on the California electricity mess]. The industrys conduct was the real story in California 'looting' behavior every bit as shocking... as that of many bankers in the... American savings and loan crisis...

Read'n Blogs (Oct 21 2003 04:09 GMT) - Well, Christopher asked me to be one of the subs, so here I am. If you haven't seen me in the comments previously, I'm Tim Butler. I've been reading WIT!?!?!? for about a year and have enjoyed every minute of it, so it is quite an honor to get to post here this week. I'm sitting here staring at Christopher's huge blogroll, and I'm not sure how he ever manages to read it all. |

Favorite Teachers (Oct 21 2003 04:09 GMT) - Christopher was kind enough to let me blogsit this week so, in keeping with the theme of his blog, I thought I would tell you a little about my favorite teacher. The funny thing about this subject is that those of you who live around Sullivan may actually know my favorite teacher. She lived in Sullivan (and still did the last time I spoke to her). She may go to church with you guys for all I know. When I was growing up in St. |

Moody's ups Pakistan long-term foreign currency debt - Forbes (Oct 21 2003 04:09 GMT) - "Moody's Investors Service has upgraded Pakistan's country ceilings for long-term foreign currency debt and bank deposits to B2 from B3 to reflect the government's narrowing fiscal deficit, the rapid decline in government debt ratios, and the ongoing strengthening of the country's external position. Accordingly, the rating on the Islamic Republic of Pakistan's outstanding eurobond due in December 2005 has been raised to B2 from B3. The rating on the government's rupee-denominated debt has also been raised to B2 from B3." |
