Almost home (Dec 10 2003 23:58 GMT) - Leave it to me to both wear my glasses and forget my umbrella on a day when it was supposed to rain. And did I mention I wore my furry coat? Yeah, that way, when I'm walking home from the train in the pouring down rain I can't see anything because I'm blind without my glasses and there's fur sticking to my face. At least I had the good sense to wear black pants. Because at least I didn't look like I pissed myself when I got splashed by gutter water from the nice pick up truck that swerved into the puddle. |

- If Microsoft decides to mine its patent portfolio for cash, it's likely to face a few unexpected consequences. A new patent body that's vowing to defend the free software community against Microsoft's new patents-for-cash revenue strategy says it will ask the US Patent Office to go back to square one, and systematically examine the validity of the patents in question. This is an unusual tactic that promises to bring the overworked USPTO's approval of questionable patents right into the spotlight. |

- Microsoft was awarded on Tuesday a patent by the US Patents and Trademarks Office on writing Windows applications in HTML, so making it possible to bypass the built-in security that browsers offer. According the application, the patent (no. 6,662,341) covers writing a standard HTML file that runs in its own window outside of the browser. This means, according to the filing, that the author of an HTML application file won't face the security constraints imposed by a browser. This relaxed security allows an HTML author to do things such as: |

Uncomfortable with the format, apathy about actually writing here, etc, so forth, ad nauseum. So yesterday, when I found myself thinking, Wow, I should blog this, every ten minutes or so, I was kind of surprised. I told Sam last night while writing an outline--an outline, for a blog post--that I was surprised with my forthcoming, almost Lileks-y tangentialism. |
