- A withered apple core sits on the desk, leaning to the side, looking less like an apple now and more like a raisin. It has been there for days. She comes into the room and sits beside me in the other chair, as she often does in the evening, rolling to just behind my left shoulder, radiating a smile that I can see without turning my head. I continue typing. How long are you going to let that apple sit there? |

Cajon (Dec 23 2003 04:57 GMT) - Cajon: Blade flashing, eye slashing, nun kicking funk from Andalusia. A region of Southern Spain, but the womb of Flamenco. Cajon rhythms are an essence, entering and filling Flamenco performers with the spirit and lust required to execute their dances and songs of Life & Death......godlike grooves for performance giants. |

- After my last post about Symantec's crazy rejection of my rebate form, I spent an hour tracking down the rebate within their processing system, in the end reaching a human being who said he would validate the rebate, and I should look for it in a couple weeks. That check has now arrived, so I have to say that Symantec in the end made good. But they didn't make it easy. |

In a series of postings on Six Apart and MovableType, they have announced release of a security update to MT, support for Atom 0.3, and a feature list and time frame for MovableType 3.0..
