A reminder on coding standards and best practices from Jim Little:

Shu: Learn the rules.  Practice them religously.
Ha: Break the rules.  Learn where they don’t apply.
Ri: Leave the rules.  Use rules as a tool, nothing more.  (also, “Make the rules.”)

I need to stop with this piece of...Radio Userland sucks my left ass.  I just lost everything in this stupid editor because radio's use of the IE HTML Editor ate it.  Crap.  I'd use the Mail-To-WebLog if it supported Titles.  Sigh.  Why does Dave Winer have time to post 8000 things a day, but noone in his organization bothers to read their own support newsgroup?  Haven't we been on Version 8.08 for a 11 months?

Question of the day: How do I export my entire Radio Userland life into one MEGA RSS file for archival (read: moving to another tool) purposes ?

Windows NT Server 4.0 pay-per-incident and hotfix support was scheduled to end on December 31, 2003.  However, based on feedback from our customers, Microsoft has made a decision to continue Windows NT Server 4.0 pay-per-incident and security hotfix support through December 31, 2004. Support for non-security hotfixes will not be extended.   Non-Security hotfix support ends December 31, 2003.    For additional information on the Microsoft Support Lifecycle for Windows NT Server 4.0, or any other product, please see http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle.  

Interesting...I know there are a LOT of NT 4.0 Servers out there...looks like NT 4 will be with us a while longer.
