There can be smelly.nasty consequences from too much Vitamin C .. however the Emergen-C brand of ascorbated-C seems to not give any grief in higher doses. I love the product anyhow but never dosed myself with it as i have today. prices for the stuff vary wildly from $8 to $18 per box. trader joe's has them for $12.
Mate-Tea is great with a pack or three of these. I can drink that all day long, never want any coffee at all and sleep easily. beats my long-time favorite gunpowder green tea. If you're not a tea drinker you'll be ok with mate, its not really tea :) Just substitute loose mate for coffee in your coffee maker and throw some C or Emergen-C powder in the bottom of the pot.

<upstream type="none" /> is not enough for a never-rendered-diary-category. it should be. and my changes to calendar and weblog rendering should not just get blown away during nightly root updates. as is we're required to be extremely cautious about the persistence of changes we make anywhere. that's a punishment i didn't think i had to sign up for just to tweak my radio. it ought to be easy to invite developer to enhance your code dave! please make it so. | ||

Here's something both interesting and disturbing. Remote scripting with IFRAME, which shows how to make a web page communicate with a server, without submitting the page.  In other words as you fill in a webform and then, perhaps, change your mind about submitting such personal information, the server may already have the information you typed in. A few weeks ago I decoded the javascript used by clickstream.com. Essentially they've worked out a method with javascript and cookies to track what pages you see, how long you spend on each page, and where you go after viewing the pages...and it even works when you hit the forward/back button without going back to the server.
Y'all need to get used to the fact that web pages are no longer dumb text & picture windows. yikes! thanks jer, already glad i subscribed to your feed :) | ||

News Aggregator Archiving options
thinking about going away and the xml archive in general this idea arose:
what if once you enable archiving you were to get a new column in your subscription list enabling you to exclude individual feeds from being archived.
if i was away i'd probably not care about rwn (real world news) but more about those that would otherwise fall out of the news history which i now have set to 72hrs
i love the aggregator. it's eliminating surfing for news for me and nets three times as much fun in slightly less time than i used to dedicate to browsing. - are there callbacks that one could use to pre-screen news for images from ad-servers? wont be long before news sources will sell into the feeds now, won't it? | ||

system.verbs.builtins.radio.weblog.drawCalendar changed on Mon, 28 Jan 2002 00:39:57 GMT: Fixed a bug where one too few table cells were added at to the last day-row, when the last day of the month is not a Saturday. [Radio.root Updates]
it would be lovely if userland were to invite users to enhance their code by offering a source difference viewer which would allow one to manually merge cloud changes into one's own changes as they are received. imagine if the cloud had an md5 hash of what it expects to find in your database.. if it did it could politely hold off replacing your changes with its and give you a menu of 'pending updates' from which you could call up .. the original code (maybe) .. your code .. and the newly gotten root update .. in a vcs like merge screen to integrate new and old. by this method userland would only have to add a button reading 'suggest your diff to cloud' in order to add to the sum total of iq working on the product. they say they are a small company. this would be inviting intelligence and dedication in, and make it easy to deliver another layer of services on top.. i'll hold off on describing that till i see that someone else sees that its currently easy to feel uninvited to contribute. casually encouraging developers to submit their added value to a dedicated human router/ inhouse external developer advocate ought to go a loooooong way toward multiplying what the tool will do for all its users. make it easy guys! we have lives to live, fences to mend, cats to kill... | ||

Other people have been using the category thing to publish different Radio sites with one copy of Radio, so it's been fully beaten on in time for me to... [markpasc.blog] mark - i look forward to hearing from you about what the calendar links will include and not include.. on both 'sites'. | ||

The War On Drug Wars - Ashkan Sahihi Gets Normal People High: "Ashkan Sahihi (above) is an Iranian/German pho- tographer who is infuriated by the war on drugs. â01CI find it despicable,â01D he says. â01CIf the American government was really concerned about stopping drug abuse, things like legalization and free needle programs would at least enter the discussion. In the absence of that, all we have is a silly political tool to please the Christian right.â01D"
with pretty much all of sr bush's {grand}children having been busted for their dysfunctions, i surfed and found this imagery. pretty heavy for this time of day. the last one's quite shocking. | ||

Jonathon Delacour Unplugged: "Swimmers train to improve their stroke technique. United States Masters Swimming has links to a whole bunch of articles on stroke technique. In one called Swimming in Circles, Coach Emmett Hines explains a technique called Front Quadrant Swimming (FQS), based on research in the 1840s by a guy named W. Froude..."
he's a swimmer too and has some neat technical links up about it today. | ||

disinformation | leaving wisdom behind: corporate mentality seizes national consciousness A pumped-up corporate definition of intelligence is making headway in US society. CEOs are regarded as experts on political and sociological change, and excellence in public education is defined in terms of its service to the private sector. Equating intelligence with conformity to corporate values is not a new concept, but the extent to which wisdom is being confused with business savvy is an increasingly insidious trend.
amen to that. all through the bubble i got to meet with customers and talk about their business plans. in that process i learned anew to spot the misguided and the cheats pretty damn quickly - so as to focus on making things work for adaptable people with integrity. the article catches a fragment of the wave of empty emulation where people adopt high minded sayings to cover up the work they never did. i see a corellation to the people who stayed home from the vietnam war here.. just have to think about how to write that up. http://disinfo.com dangerously good. | ||
