playing catch up – lighten the mood some!
Whew! A long few days I don’t mind telling you – but I have had a chance to
relax a little now that my product is delivered to Client X. We are finsihing up
some contract negotiations with the non competition agreements with client Y and
as such we have a few days off from that… but we will iron it out in a day or
two and be on our way full speed.
Anyway, as always lot’s happening so I’ll just bullet this:
- I came across a totally
cool script that let’s you spell check anything you type into IE as long
as you have word… on any page. This is something I really need and
appreciate. You might want to try it. They also have a cool tool to spell
check anything on the clipboard. it’s old (12/2000) but should be OK.
- Just go
download PGP before they do something stupid and outlaw it in the name of
National Security. Privacy is a basic right, and encryption does not mean your
a criminal. And get the one with the open source from MIT – not the closed
source one from McAfee.. you never know what pressure they might someday be
under.
- The Guardian’s
style guide. Good info for writers. I should probably read this.
- The
push to make your Drivers License your national ID card. Slashdot has some
commentary.
- Apple unveiled the
new
iMac. it looks like a desk lamp and Steve seems so happy he can push the
monitor around he doesn’t even know he’s lost his mind.
Metafilter discusses it. Oh, it should have
looked like the 20th anniversary Mac did. Of course, some PC’s
look pretty
snazzy too!
Discussion on Metafilter.
- I had no idea I could hook into
Blogger from my cell phone!
- Speaking of
Blogger, it looks like they are going to try and make a living at it. I’d
love to stay and support them, but I think it is way overdue for us to write
our own software for what we need. As an interim step, I am switching us to
Movable Type over the next month or so.
- If anyone reading this is fluent with ASP.NET,
contact me.
- Some moron at the "Vegan Voice" is
putting forth the idea that the Sept. 11th disaster is no worse than what
happened to all the chickens killed that day on farms.
"I think it is speciesist to think that the September 11 attack on the
World Trade Center was a greater tragedy than what millions of chickens
endured that day, and what they endure every day because they cannot defend
themselves against the concerted human appetites arrayed against them."

That’s it for now! Night!
