About your computer...
The Universal Republic of Love. There's No Such Thing as a URL Strange, but true, even though we talk about them all the time, those things that begin http://... and are painted on the sides of buses and buildings everywhere. These things are designed to be used by computer programs, right? So ask your friendly local programmer to write a program to use them for something, and she'll go try to dig up the official documentation on what to do, and pretty quickly find that there isn't any for URLs; everything on the subject officially expired years ago. It turns out that all the official documentation is now about "URIs" not "URLs", so that's what you've been using in recent years, whether you know it or not.... [ongoing] 

"I don't like spam!" (Monty Python reference)...
I got an email this morning. Very interesting. It was addressed to Dane and used his name in the first line of the email.

Here is who it was CC'd to:

billconnoll3@yahoo.com; howard@hbo3.com; onlinenews@newscientist.com; campinguy@campinguy.com; bwhite@modbee.com; pgiblin@modbee.com; sacramento@bizjournals.com

Yes it was spam. Interesting though how it came from an AOL account but the remove tag was for an MSN email address.

 


I wish...
Sometimes I wish I could draw political cartoons. There is some funny stuff going through my head...and not just the coffee either.
