We just hung out in the empty city and saw a dumb movie and lazed around at home and made an apple pie. We have some pictures but right now it's too much of an effort for me to point you to the server.We took Oliver the cat and Billy the dog to the vet last Saturday and Oliver had some lab tests done, for which we were supposed to get results early in the week, but we never got a call from the vet. |

"Butchered" (Dec 01 2003 04:37 GMT) - Joe sent in an account of the Canadian pig industry from someone who worked in a Manitoba slaughterhouse: "By quitting time, my carving hand is starting to give out. My back aches. But it's my cheeks that hurt the most from sucking in my lips all day, hoping to keep the blood and guts from getting into my mouth." It's grisly stuff, and I'm incredibly thankful that my diet doesn't cause anyone to have to do that kind of work for a living. |

with friends like these (Dec 01 2003 04:36 GMT) - A big part of every programmer’s life is debugging. Easily the majority, in my experience, and I like to think that I’m not a lot worse than average at this programming thing. Given that so much time is spent on it, the tools used can have a material impact on the quality of life of a debugging programmer. |

Fury Returns (Dec 01 2003 04:34 GMT) - It is back. Again from nowhere and toward something unbeknown to me. I feel that the externalizing nature of anger may in truth be a positive step. The task is now to use this energy productively rather than allow it to re-manifest as anxiety and self-hatred. I try to remain positive, but feel increasingly distressed and desperate. |

Näthandel och patent (Dec 01 2003 04:32 GMT) - Se ett skräckscenario som ger en idé om vad samhällets tillåtande av mjukvarupatent kan leda till, det är en sida innehållandes en fejkad skärmdump föreställande en videobutik på nätet. Grundidén är hämtad från danska IT-Politisk Forening, detta är sas. en svensk version på samma tema. Egentligen är det inte ett skräckscenario eftersom de flesta patent redan är godkända av EPO, skräckscenariot består ju i hurvida våra politiker bestämmer sig för att göra dessa patent hållbara i europeiska domstolar. Skall svensk e-handel tvingas flytta till indien? |

Settlement Gone Bad - Law Firm Now In Defendant's Box (Dec 01 2003 04:31 GMT) - The law firm of Leeds, Morelli & Brown has won the first round of a law suit by their former clients claiming the firm sold them out in their class action suit against Nextel. According to the story in the Denver Post, the firm agreed to a two year consulting agreement with Nextel, for a cool $2 million. What makes that appear even more unusual was that the individual claims of the employee/plaintiffs were still to be resolved. Still, the law firm won the first round of a trial in Arapahoe County District Court. Stay tuned, appeal promised. |

Test Your Digital IQ (Dec 01 2003 04:30 GMT) - How "digital" are you? Find out at MSNBC's Test Your Digital IQ. Yeah, another lame quiz. If I hadn't taken the test so fast I know I would have scored higher than 169, I missed a couple of dumb ones. But while 169 may label me a geek I'm not enough of one to retake the test. |
