Ugh, more lost mail. Someone sent me a package via express mail last week and it's still not here. That's 5 pieces of lost mail this year. Well, 5 pieces I know about, anyway.

I think the post office hates me.  11:03:49 PM     Add a comment

Evil Genius-in-training Garth Kidd has some news about his poptool (a tool for iterating through a POP mailbox and deleting messages by rule)

Poptool is a generic version of the scripts I've been slowly hacking over time to deal with various issues that have vexed my mail. Use the --skip option to select the messages you want to examine in more detail, --eval to inspect the headers, and --kill to delete any mail you'd rather not download in full.

there is no spoon: "backlinking: This is very cool. If you'd like to encourage the growth of the "two-way web," backlinking is for you. Apparently if you link to anything at Disinchanted.com, they'll show readers your link. This allows people to see immediately whatever dialogue is created by any blog post or article. Radio 8 needs to adopt this function -- it should be as simple as checking a box on a Prefs page. Are you listening Dave Winer?"

Dave seems to 'hear' everything. Let's just hope he thinks this idea is as spiffy as Spoon.  10:30:27 PM     Add a comment

Space News: "The recent alignment of five planets in the western sky has given rise to a number of remarkable observations. Carol Lakomiak of Tomahawk, Wisconsin managed to photograph one. She was watching the twilight gathering of planets in the evening sky last month -- and Venus had caught her attention ... "When viewed through my 11x70 binoculars, I saw beams of light jutting from the top and bottom of the planet, and there were moments when they were visible without optical aid," she said ... She dashed inside for her camera, and returned to make a snapshot. The strange beams were still there, and she captured them on film -- perhaps the first-ever pictures of extraordinary "Venus pillars."

How Smart Are You?: "How smart are you really?"

I scored 10 out of 11, and could kick myself for the one I got wrong. How well did you do?  8:32:51 PM     Add a comment
