Thurmond's stump-speech video-clip. So, how inexcusable is it for Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott to have avowed his support for Strom Thurmond's last presedential bid? Here's a movie made up from clips from the Daily Show with an excerpt of one of Thurmond's stump-speeches:
"What I want to tell you...Ladies and Gentlemen...That there's not enough troops in the Army...to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theatres, into our swimming pools, into our homes and into our churches." Link (25.1MB QuickTime)

Jim notes that there's a standalone OS X installer for Plone, a new CMS built on Zope. I wanna check this out later. Sounds promising. I'm actually considering getting out of the CMS business... Presence has been a flop somewhat, and I'd like to revamp it as more of a "tool" to work with other systems and possibly use XSLT templates to generate template-based pages, instead of trying to implement my own, proprietary engine and client-server model.

Random butt-ugly website. Just saw this url posted on an LA web developers' list. It's the kind of gui that makes you say "please, please pass the Dramamine." But there's something comfortably gauche about how bad this site looks, too--it's like listening to your 17-year-old gawky cousin do an earnest but off-key karaoke rendition of the theme from "Grease". That circa-1996-blink-tag-vibe makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. It's got that elusive je ne sais WTF. Link Discuss [Boing Boing Blog] 9:07:54 AM comment []

More bug fixes... I just released NewtSync 0.3a, which fixes some problems with quotes in Newton dates fields and third-party Newton dates extensions. I've been told that the CPU usage skyrockets after a few hundred records... this is a known problem with iCal, and unfortunately there isn't much I can do about it. 8:39:20 AM comment []
