Nirvana fans, rejoice. Or wallow in misery for what could-have-been.

Slow day in the office, because Things keep Happening. License serving from remote servers: All the load tools I know of (that the companies I deal with trust) have complex licensing programs (usually FlexLM/Globetrotter) that regulate their use. It’s always the configuration or fixing of these licensing utilities or servers that seem to constitute the most frustrating part of doing performance tests.

Cleaning up my work inbox (our mail server crashed two nights ago. I found a 33 meg file from the boss containing last month’s presentation), I came upon something I mailed to myself, this link to various graphical representations of information spaces. In case anyone was interested.

A lot of people (or one very persistent person) have been searching (using various engines) for Billy Collins’s poem, “The Lanyard.” Sorry, it’s not here, nor have I seen it in any of the collections of his poetry I am familiar with. Perhaps it’s fairly recent, in which case you’d best look in APR or Poetry or some literary journals. All that’s here is a set list of some of the poems he read on the last Sunday of the “Dodge Poetry Festival.”

[Update: a lot of people have also been Googling for Amiri Baraka-related material. If you want the set list and notes from the speech on Sunday, it’s there too.—Allan, 1 Oct 2002]

Thanks for stopping by; I would appreciate your comments, even derogatory ones. If I were thin-skinned, I would not be publishing a weblog.
