Dreams (Oct 31 2003 19:17 GMT) - Dreamed that ralmathon showed up, and I didn't recognize him. His body type and height and hair had all changed. (The hair changes often enough anyway.) I recognized his energy, finally. Then he was all hitting on me. |

Hillel Cooperman has a blog. ... (Oct 31 2003 19:16 GMT) - Hillel Cooperman has a blog. He's the guy who heads the team that's building the new user experience (translation: the user interface) for Longhorn (he was one of the most important keynote speakers, along with Gates and Allchin). I see that I need to evangelize RSS to Hillel though. If I can't subscribe to an RSS feed it greatly slows down my ability to watch your blogs. |

Apropos of very little (Oct 31 2003 19:15 GMT) - I have to say, I'm absolutely loving the weather this week. Just about every day this week, I've spent my lunch hour taking a walk around the office complex (and we're talking about a good 45 minute walk, albeit at a leisurely pace). I do wonder whether the health benefits of that exercise compensate for the fact that I haven't been eating any lunch. I mean, I want to make sure I have enough time to enjoy the walk, so I plan to walk first and eat afterwards (figuring I can eat at my desk between calls if the walk runs long, whereas I can't take calls when I'm a few buildings away) and then am just not terribly hungry or inspired by the food when I get back. My lunch has been sitting in the office fridge, pretty much untouched, since the start of the week. |

Nosophoros - Plague Carrier (Oct 31 2003 19:12 GMT) - Happy Halloween, Nosferatu (No Thanks to Copyright). "As part of the 1925 [copyright] decision, all copies of Nosferatu were to be destroyed. Most were. Over the next few years, any copies that became public were also destroyed. This may have meant the end of the film, except that a few isolated copies managed to survive Florence Stoker's death in 1937. |

My Kinda Woman. (Oct 31 2003 19:12 GMT) - The type of woman that interests me: someone who's comical, who has a sense of style and isn't afraid to show it, someone who's got an unreasonably pretty face, she's got to be huggable and kissable, someone who likes to snuggle up with me on the bed, is usually in a festive mood, someone who makes me smile when I stare into her pretty eyes ... in short, someone like her.P.S. |
