Been following Arboretum, a Cocoa-based outliner. Not much to seee right now, but DeusX and I have been trading edits on the idea whiteboard.

Whew. Big thread on Hack The Planet - over here, tangentially inspired by my post here about IDL. David McCusker has a great line:

This weblog is really cool. Mark is really open about his dealing with addiction, and recently about the grief of losing someone he loved. Hard stuff, but heartening to read.

Thanks Mark.

I finally got the referer thing from here working over here. I love referer logs… ;-)

Hmm. thanks to my referers, I have found that I have the #3 and #4 hits for RSS Sources on Google. Cooool. I need to rewrite my rss feed.

This rssFeedIcon is a test.

Hmm. thanks to my referers, I have found that I have the #3 and #4 hits for RSS Sources on Google. Cooool. I guess I should update that soon.

From Wired: A high-schooler has created a glove that translates sign-language finger-spelling into text on a digital device via a wireless connection. That is awesome, and a real example of technology bettering the lives of the handicapped.

I finally got my Cox.Net connection back up tonight!! I am SOOOOOO happy! Muahahahahaha…. <evil genius hand-wringing/>

I hate surfing around on the zippy internet, then flipping back to the web application I’m writing, and firing up that puppy, and realizing it’s slow as dog-crap, and knowing it’s my app.

That sucks.
