Penguin Lust
A box arrived for son Bryan yesterday from Penguin Computing. He is configuring a backup web/e-commerce server for a client in preparation for the holiday season. I don't know which model it is. It doesn't matter. I want to unpack the server and play with Linux. I won't ... but I want to. Geek With Penguin Lust; not a pretty sight.
Bryan Moves
Our son Bryan moved again today. He shared a three-bedroom house with friends for about a year. John D. had the smallest room, Bryan had the medium-sized room, while Mike and Emily shared the largest. John D. was forced to move to the East Coast because of a work reorganization, so the hunt for a new place started last month. Bryan, Mike, and Emily moved into a two-bedroom apartment (part of a four-plex?) today. Have not seen it yet.
Mitch Kapor Rides Again
The title of this post is not meant to imply that Mitch hasn't been doing anything useful lately. It means he is 'back in the software saddle', doing what he likes best. Both software users and developers will, hopefully, benefit from his latest adventure.
Windows Tips
I read the print version of PC Magazine for years and years and years. The annual 'tips' issue always contained something worthwhile.

A fascinating tour through Mitch Kapor's mind in 2002. Mitch was the founder of Lotus, I worked with him many years ago at Personal Software. He is recreating Agenda, apparently, in some fashion, entirely using open source technology. Mitch is one of the great software designers, so it might be well designed. In a brief review of his site I find a lot to like, but the proof will be in the software he creates. [Scripting News]

Buy this month's PC Magazine! I've been reading PC Magazine for a long, long time. Like 198x where x is less than 4. Anyway this months's issue, November 5, has 104 Windows Tips and they are really, really good. [ Online Version of Article ] [The FuzzyBlog!]
