Rants (Jan 09 2004 00:33 GMT) - Time to let off a couple of rants or links to rants once more. Our highly competent sys-admins in the student network upgraded their systems. Not that I should have to care much about it. After all I only use their system for ssh port forwarding and, occasionally, pine. I'll politely ignore the downtime and the additional day or so without a home directory (which renders most apps pretty useless it seems), but in their infinite wisdom they decided that they coud 'clean up' the user directories as well – |

- Documents, bearing Halliburton's crest, reportedly exonerate the company of all wrongdoing: "Not only did Halliburton not charge excessive fees for gasoline supplies in Iraq during 2003, it may in fact have substantially undercharged the Army, considering the unique logistical challenges of operating in a post-conflict environment in Iraq." The challenges cited include "a large number of widows escorted across the street, literally hundreds of kittens rescued from trees, and two babies rescued from wells." [More] |

- I'm still trying to figure out an easier way to post more of my photos here. For now here's one I did for a Christmas present that everyone liked. As always, this looks better on a 8X10 print (click for a larger version). Snowing at Bethesda Terrace, Central Park, April 2000 This was one of those beautiful April snowstorms, the flakes were big and fluffy and melting on everything but grass and the trees which had already started to blossom. A lot of people ask if the lady really had a blue umbrella or if I doctored it in Photoshop. |

- Love me, I'm a liberal The "liberal" label has been on a long journey from its Victorian-era origins -- the root is from the Latin for "free," of course, and the original liberals were proponents of free trade (which means that today's anti-globalism liberals have now come a full 180 degrees). Jeff Jarvis has been posting recently about the meaning of the term "liberal" today. Jarvis's ardent pro-war positions have placed him at odds with a lot of people who think of themselves as liberals, but he's determined not to give up the label. Good for him: Liberalism should be a big tent, and surely, just as there were "Cold War liberals" who shared some positions, but not all, with their dovish liberal coevals, there has to be room for "terror war liberals" today -- even if their conversations with their antiwar brethren escalate into shouting matches. |
