Monkinetic Weblog

Au jourdhui je me souvien que je peux parler un peu de Français. Zut alors!

Ich kanne auch ein bißen Deutsche spretchen.

Being a Christian, and having done some varied philosophical studies over the years, I'm interested to read Leviticus as LIterature, by anthropologist Mary Douglas. From the description:

[via dangerousmeta!] Engineers Tackle Havoc Beneath trade Center. Extremely intersting article about the challenges involved. The WTC was an engineering marvel in every way.

Sigh. Some script-kiddie decided one exploit per Outlook/IIS worm was not enough, so they've bundled 12 or so exploits into one worm. Lovely. Don't you guys have anything better to do?

tmk posts a pointer on Jim's site to some new Apple sample code that implements a simple SOAP server and client in WebObjects. Coooooool.

Today's song: Midnight Oil, My Country.

Motorola completes 1.6GHz PowerPC G5. "Beyond far higher clock speeds, the G5 will be a full 64-bit chip, but will support 32-bit addressing at full speed. The part will also support multi-processor configurations."

The drive in this morning was beautiful. As the days get shorter my morning drive has come closer to dawn. This morning the sunrise was amazing - the air was clear and crisp, the sunlight stretching itself over downtown Portsmouth was warm and bright. Nice way to start the week.

Woo-hoo! Mulle-Kybernetic releases an XML-RPC implemention for Obj-C. Now I can rewrite Sid.

Jodi has started a blog of her own, and believe me when she says she speaks her mind, she means it. ;-) Check it out.

Nate, who goes by the hacker alias Nullgel, does the patriotism thing in his own way. Check out this American Flag made out of Lego.

Been doing a lot of detail software design and analysis lately. Sometimes it just gets to be too much.

ABC News: "Officials also said they had multiple fake IDs, knives, and flight certificates from Flight Safety International in Vero Beach, Fla., one of the schools the suspected terrorists were allegedly trained.

GlennLog: Inexorable Flow of Time. Glenn Fleishman's weblog has some good, random, thoughts today. A nice bit: "Yasir Arafat looked legitimately shaken. I'm sure he didn't know. But this is what it takes to affect a man like him. This is the kind of event that changes lives, even lives like his."

This image may one day be as famous I think as the photo of the marines at Iwo Jima.

I'm struggling with mixed emotions this morning. I wrote some notes while this site was down and I couldn't post. I'll post them later. I thought I was getting over the shock, but now that personal stories are coming out, I'm wounded more than ever.

But I am.

I've started a WTC Mix... right now it includes: "In The End" and "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park, "Dragula" by Rob Zombie, "Alive" by POD, "Leave You Far Behind" by Lunatic Calm, "The Winner" by Crystal Method. Make it hurt. Make it loud.
