PHP5!? You know, you just start getting comfortable with something, and they change it on you.
The heartbreak of computer violence continues.
Dave Winer is weaning himself off of Google. Why? Who knows. I think he’s pissed about something. Probably Google buying Blogger. I’m not. I think it’s great. And I’m not about to stop using Google for philosophical reasons: it’s the best search engine. Period.
More on the Google/Blogger deal.
Based on a lunch conversation from last week, I’ve added a new category to the sidebar: Top 10 Lists.
CIPA goes to the supreme court.
Microsoft apparently expects to compete with Linux with its new $399 server. That’s a good first step, but it’s not as cheap as free. And it’s still not as good a deal as Mac OS X Server, which you get with unlimited client licenses! Microsoft’s new mini-server comes with no client access licenses.
The program that I use to update this website is called Frequency. I’m preparing for a beta release within the next week or two. If you are interested in testing this program, please contact me via email. Feel free to encourage others to do so as well. Beta testers will receive a free copy of the program when it’s released. At this point, I’m planning on releasing beta versions for Mac OS X and Mac OS Classic; a Windows version may follow later. A Blogger account is required.
Dave comments on Apple’s rumored music service. Sounds cool to me! Here’s the related Slashdot discussion.

 I am Mr Do.
I am sedentary by nature, enjoying passive entertainment, eating when the mood takes me, and playing with my food. I try to avoid conflict, but when I’m angered, I can be a devil – if you force me to fight, I will crush you. With apples. |
The Banana Junior 6000 Series archives. I sorely miss Bloom County.
I love MacOSXHints, but I don’t get why anyone would want to do this particular thing.
Bush and God – a fascinating piece about the president’s faith. Say what you want about Bush. If nothing else, I believe his faith is sincere.
This is old and out of date, but if you’re a fan of Professor Frink, you’ll love it.
More progress on the bathroom today. The highpoint: my father-in-law was spreading concrete on the subfloor to get it ready for the backerboard, when the dog decided to pay him a visit. Jack left little concrete pawprints down the hall.
