- Well worth a read: "A little more than a year ago, I had no idea what a weblog was. But my world was turned upside-down when Aaron Campbell introduced me to web publishing and blogging. From the very beginning, I had the selfish idea that within a few months time I would have a bustling community of readers and writers surrounding my weblog, taking interest in my writing, and interacting with my thoughts within huge discussions. I was so hopeful in the success of my soon-to-be community that I worked tirelessly to bring it to life. |

- Well, we've already seen ISPs file CAN SPAM lawsuits, but now the feds are stepping in and have charged four people with spamming under the law. The four are charged with hiding their identities while sending out weight loss spam. Of course, all of these lawsuits don't seem to have done much to slow down spam. Plenty of studies have shown that spam levels have kept going up at about the same pace as they were before CAN SPAM. Personally, since CAN SPAM has gone into effect in January, my daily spam loads have more than doubled. |

- Senator Zell Miller (Democrat, Georgia) is sponsoring a bill which would rescind the 17th Amendment which declares that senators should be elected rather than appointed. Yes, he thinks that senators should be appointed by state governments rather than elected by the voters. My state government can't even decide on how to finance our state education system without going into overtime. There is no way in hell I would trust them not to spend 1.7 million dollars per special session for several sessions in order to agree on who should be representing Texas in the national senate. |

Mandrake (Apr 28 2004 23:35 GMT) - Succede che uno ha un vecchio computer a casa, buttato in un angolo. Succede che in un momento di pazzia dedice di riesumarlo e fargli fare da server per la rete casalinga. Succede che lo stesso pazzo ci installa una distribuzione Linux che si chiama Mandrake. Beh, in effetti ci vuole un mago per farla funzionare. A Roma, quando riesci a fare una cosa particolarmente difficile, ti guardano sornioni e ti dicono: |

- I'm not much of a morning person, so when I am jarred out of a restful sleep at the bright and early hour of 7am by jackhammers under my bedroom window it takes some effort to dispel the homicidal urges I suddenly feel for the dude with the power tools. Well, and it doesn't do anything good for a hangover as my research would indicate. Yes, the summer will be filled with the sound of jackhammers, falling plaster thunking against the window ledge and construction guys yelling at each other in colourful Finnish. In my early morning sleepy delerium I'd swear I've heard them shouting in English, too. Like a comet on a 10-15 year orbit, the ulkoseinäremontti [house exterior repair] has returned to our house for the next few months. |
