Monkinetic Weblog

I composed my R.E.M. and Jesus Christ post in OmniOutliner (for which I still need to get a license - outlines of < 20 lines are useless) and it reminded me once again of my love of writing in an outliner. I really would like to have a "compose-in-outline" mode in Sid one day.

Greg replied to let me know that the R.E.M. song I was looking for last night is in fact a cover of a Big Star song by Alex Chilton, from the "Third / Sister Lovers" album.

I've been following the development of Daniel Berlinger's None pretty closely, since I'm the author of a weblog editor called Sid. I imagine my users (both of them!) will want RSD support (I know I do).

Well, Jodi and I saw the new Lord Of The Rings movie, The Two Towers, yesterday. It was great. Amazing, actually. There were a few discrepancies from the book, but none that I thought really detracted from the story. More action, darker, faster moving - like the book.

I got my R.E.M. Fan Club Holiday Single today. It features two tracks, one of which is an actual Christmas song of unknown origin, called Jesus Christ. The other is called No Matter What.

Aquaminds has just released NoteTaker 2003, a most cool outliner and organizer. NoteTaker lets you define sections and pages (outlines) in your notebook document, maintains a table of contents (also an outline) and lets you drag most any kind of file into it. It also help you maintain quite a list of metadata, and record audio bits too (which you can then drag out of the outline as mp3 files). This is really cool, and I'm going to explore some more.

I suspect I'm turning into a not-very-good weblogger. There's a certain thought process, a certain tendency, that I've had before and now seem to lack.

Adam Curry is having performance problems with Radio Userland, too. (Adam is on Mac OS X I believe). Dave's suggestion:

We're finally getting around to decorating our recently purchased tree tonight. I spent all night last night getting the darn thing to stand up (more or less) straight (stupid live tree -)) and getting the lights on.

Peace and blessings to our family members and dear friends! We truly serve a loving, holy, and awesome God whose blessings never cease and whose goodness knows no limit!

We hope to communicate some of the ways that He has blessed us in the past year or so.

We moved from Portsmouth, Virginia to Tempe, Arizona in October, 2001. We made this rather dramatic move because Steve accepted a position doing some specialized web development work for U-Haul in central Phoenix. God&#39;s grace was abundant from the beginning. Our house in Portsmouth sold fairly quickly. In Arizona, We found a wonderful church within weeks and felt God knitting us into the body of Christ here.

In February, we bought a house in Gilbert, AZ a little further East from Tempe, in a lovely neighborhood with attractive lakes, walking paths,a park,and nice landscaping.

We really like it in Arizona especially the beautiful sunshine and drier weather. But mostly we felt that the Lord had His hand on us and brought us here to work out His purposes in us.

Jodi took a job working for Re-Mac Computers from January through May helping them launch their software training programs at two locations. It was an enjoyable job, but Jodi desired to focus on some other things and resigned in early May. Soon after that Steve lost the job at U-Haul (about mid-June), and our lives have taken some interesting and unexpected turns.

(from MacNetJournal) The open-source chat client Fire has been updated to support more AIM features (fire transfers, .mac support, direct chat connections, etc). If iChat is too cutesy for you, check it out.

Heh. You'll have to read most of this page to find the reference (or cheat and go here), but I like Mark Byron's writing and his daily Biblical and political commentary. Good food for thought.

Clark just showed up on my iChat buddylist, and instead of a status, there was some musical notes and the name of a Santana song! Whoa! Cool! So I harassed him about it and he pointed to a little prefpane app called iChatStatus. It updates your iChat status to show the currently playing song in iTunes. Coool! Also included are aplescripts to let iChatStatus show things like the web page you're currently viewing, or the active application, and other goodies.

Ack! I think Mail just had an aneurysm and forgot what spam looked like. I had finally switched my junk mail filter to automatic, and for about 2 months it was like a rock. I did not get a single spam in my inbox, and only 2 or 3 false positives.

Aaron Swartz has set up a new site where he's discussing limitations to free speech. I don't agree with absolutely everything he says there, but he makes some very good points as well. Bits Are Not A Bug.

Ok, I know I shouldn't get sucked into this, but I can't help it! MacRumors is suggesting Apple may sell OS X for x86 to give users an alternative to Microsoft's Palladium spywareOS. Oh, please oh please oh please!
