For Runners, By Runners (Apr 30 2004 04:59 GMT) - I've been thinking about starting a new site. During a run this week, I was off in my usual daydream world and began thinking about how it would be useful to have a site dedicated to runs around Southern California.

TrimEnd() Vs. SubString() (Apr 30 2004 04:59 GMT) - Many developers have had to write a loop that writes out a comma separated value list. There's always the trick of how you make that last comma get removed from the end of that string. Usually, at the end of the loop, many developers will do something like this to remove the last char in the string: out = out. |

There's very few tech books I can read from cover to cover but this is one of them.

GOODBYE CASSIE HALF-WIT! (Apr 30 2004 04:58 GMT) - My unit said goodbye to three incredible people this week. Two totally incredible nurses, and one awe-inspiring doctor who is one of the most wonderful human beings I have ever known. I know they go onto better things. I know they're excited about their new opportunities. I know I should be happy for them, but I hate to see them go. |

Auto-mounting media devices (Apr 30 2004 04:57 GMT) - What follows is an interesting insight into the minds of the eHome, Media PC press. As Andrew Grundner (the writer of this story) gushes on about how cool this closed system is, he discovers the convienience of auto-mounting devices, and you have to wonder: "where has this guy been?" But not everybody made the immediate jump, as Arthur Van Hoff and Rob Currie did (with their Strangeberry platform), that ZeroConf (which Apple calls Rendezvous) is the perfect technology for auto-mounting home media devices. |

In Iraq? (Apr 30 2004 04:56 GMT) - I don't know if I heard this right on TV, I wasn't really listening, just caught the last few seconds. A woman who apparently appeared to be pregnant approached some U.S. soldiers and blew herself up ... killing the soldiers too. |

brilliant and more brilliant... (Apr 30 2004 04:55 GMT) - The chef gave us an introductory present. Little fish had been included in the offering. I ended up crushing three or four little skulls. A horrible thought. I imagined what kind of scale would be needed if these fish were whales. |

Hi-larious (Apr 30 2004 04:55 GMT) - Dos Boheinde Sisters and Seymore Or weepy...your choice: it made me want to cry- how nobody looks better in a skintight blue suit with clouds on it and how nobody can compare to a miniscule man that plays all his own instruments. Me, I have to laugh thinking about myself in a skintight blue suit, whether I have clouds OR instruments. I love these Texas girls that have been scattered to two of the four points, as best I can tell. |
