Drivel:  The folks at Bank Street shipped me an iBook at assist in the testing of their new web site, which happens to be powered by Frontier.  It is the first time I have used an iBook.  It is quite a nice machine.  If it weren't for the fact that I travel for business a lot and all of my clients are running Windows networks, I would switch in a heartbeat.  However, what I would really like to do is get a Linux laptop.  I already have this to a certain extend via VMware Workstation.  I can run Linux on top of Windows with VMware, but it can be a slow sometimes -- especially when I am running X.  5:51:39 PM   comments ()

Drivel:  I took a class last year to kill some time after my unexpected departure from Accenture.  The topic of the class was the history of warfare.  The topic was immensely interesting, even though it tried to cover way too much history in the time allotted.  The course culminated in a thesis.  The topic I chose was Asymmetric Warfare.  It was quick an interesting a vast topic.  The best I could do was attempt to define it, provide some historical examples, and explain how an asymmetry is created.  Here is my short essay on Asymmetric Warfare.  12:45:24 PM   comments ()
