how to be a groomsman. [Deadly Bloody Serious Radio] 10:59:50 PM     "Kevin Malm is blogging the SuperBowl commercials. Now I've seen everything." [Scripting News] 10:53:30 PM     "I've been bombarded by mLife ads, and it turns out to be AT&T Wireless? Lame." [Hack the Planet] 10:49:44 PM     Thank you very much, Garth.  I was missing the semicolon at the end of the "on" and "for" blocks.  There really should be a UserLand tutorial on translating Object Database-stored scripts into macros, and the subtle differences between them.  If one exists, could somebody point it out to me?  Thanks.  Also, Garth's right, there should be an easy way to debug macros.  I do, however, like the debugging apparatus for database-owned scripts. 10:48:34 PM     Don't you love it when the underdog wins? What a great game. Congrats to all our friends in the Boston area, SuperBowl champions, all the way!  [Scripting News] 10:36:52 PM     Minute men    Makes sense, in our hyperAmerican time, for the Patriots to win. Absolutly great game, too. [Doc Searls Weblog] 10:36:31 PM     Before the Superbowl began, I was expecting to enjoy the commercials, with the game being a pleasant distraction.  I had some inclination to root for the Patriots, because they were the underdogs, and everybody loves the underdog.  Also, their QB is from Michigan, my school.  By halftime, the commercials forgotten, I was pulling hard for the Patriots.  That was one of the most exciting (and stressful) football games I've ever watched, and all I have to say is: Go Patriots!!!! Actually, I have one other observation.  If superbowl commercials are any indication of the economy, it appears that only two sectors are doing really well: companies that sell cheap beer and luxury cars. 10:33:20 PM     I wrote the script that automatically inserts links to all my categories on a homepage.  However, I can only get it to run from the object database; when I try to put it in a macro, it won't compile and I get the "name not defined" error message.  Can anybody tell me how to turn this into a macro? 5:57:16 PM     "The Washington Post reviews Radio 8. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Nice review! Thanks.." [Scripting News]  What exactly is an "hour" of code? 5:44:26 PM     Yassir Arafat: "Peace is not a signed agreement between individuals — it is reconciliation between peoples."  Requires free membership to the New York Times online. 5:42:07 PM     Aaron Swartz read The Fountainhead.  I read Atlas Shrugged when I was a freshman in college.  It affected me deeply, resonating stronger than I'd expected it to.  It took me a long time to sort out my feelings about it.  I think Aaron's got it right. 5:30:18 PM     Wes: "I think evolution is over, because natural selection is over. Virtually everyone stays alive. I'm not complaining."  [Scripting News] 5:16:20 PM
