- Several sources have reported that the FBI has been monitoring anti-war protest groups, and gathering intelligence on their tactics. The news that demonstrations are monitored is hardly surprising; as anyone who has attended such an event knows, cameras sometimes outnumber protesters. But it's interesting to note that the FBI describes videotaping as "intimidation" when it's directed at law enforcement. The FBI warned of tactics used by such groups in a weekly... |

Utrecht (Nov 24 2003 23:39 GMT) - On Saturday I went to Utrecht, home town of Marrije Schaake, the wonderful English-language book blogger who had sacrificed a precious day out of [Inter]national Novel Writing Month to show me around her city. Utrecht is about half an hour's train ride south of Amsterdam, and everyone from Amsterdam seemed to be going to Utrecht with me. Holland has zippy bright yellow trains that look just right under the leaden November skies, and I enjoyed my first glimpse of the Dutch countryside, squeezed in for five minutes between endless Amsterdam suburbs and endless Utrecht suburbs. It was all misty green fields with grazing cattle, a sight that would have looked just like a steam-pressed Vermont if not for the occasional windmill, the total absence of orange plaster reindeer, and the stately canal that ran along the railway, with banana-shaped barges each pushing along a fearsome bow wave. Utrecht looks like it was built in two phases - the first sometime in the seventeenth century, and the second in 1962. |

Regex Blog (Nov 24 2003 23:35 GMT) - I bookmarked this Regular Expression blog about a week ago and now I cannot remember who to credit it to.This blog is a community that focuses on fostering knowledge related to regular expressions; I thought it would help in my quest to master Perl but it seems to have a windows slant at the moment.So I am doing my bit to encourage Regular Expression coders from the Perl, Python, PHP, Java community to submit articles to this blog. The webmaster seems to encourage this. |

- Kevin Kelly, a founding editor of Wired and the former editor of Whole Earth Magazine, has self-published my favorite book for 2003: a 140-page color book with reviews of his favorite "gadgets, how-to books, amazing documentaries, great pieces of software, uncommon mail order catalogs, websites, pieces of machinery, and things you can grab with your hand." If you've seen the old Whole Earth Catalogs, then you already have a good idea of what Cool Tools is like. No matter how much you already know, you'll find dozens of things in here to blow your mind. Hurry, because Kevin only printed 250 copies. |

- There's a traditional definition of a shyster: a lawyer who, when the law is against him, pounds on the facts; when the facts are against him, pounds on the law; and when both the facts and the law are against him, pounds on the table. The SCO Group's continuing attempts to increase its market value at the expense of free software developers, distributors and users through outlandish legal theories and unsubstantiated factual claims show that the old saying hasn't lost its relevance. |
