Boy, wish our cable modem could fly.

Brad points to this cutie - the Cubik is the world's smallest megapixel digital camera. Neat!

Jodi and I have decided to get a digital camera. Specifically, we've decided on the Canon Powershot S30. We had settled on the Nikon Coolpix 775, but switched to the Canon for the following reasons:

Yay! I managed to get Sid, my Cocoa-based Conversant posting utility compiled again. I lost some of the more recent work on it, but I've since changed the way I categorize posts, so the missing functionality is not missed.

For the Mac OS X programming weenies out there: Project Builder 2 is coming... This new release will be many times more configurable, and hopefully faster! [thx Jim]

Ok, I got up this am to find that at 10:00 pm last night a co-worker had deployed my most recent app... gah! Fortunately, it's a low-traffic site. However, later on I'm watching the logs and suddenly I'm watching the app go into an infinite loop. Akk!

Clark Venable, a client of Macrobyte</a&#39;s, checked out my outline renderers, and reports:

Steve, Got it working. I&[#39](http://monkinetic.blog/tag/39);m writing all my grants this way now. Thanks!

Clark, you&#39;re welcome!!

Rafe nails it over on rc3.org:

If you ask me, there's nothing more unsettling than the idea that some person believes that blowing up others is so important that they willingly give their life in the process, and indeed, by design. That's a sort of nihilism and fervor that I'm not really prepared to deal with psychologically.

Morning notes... Got the first cuppa coffee, soon everything will be juuuuusst fiiiiine.

Thanks to the recent improvements in OmniOutliner's scripting interface, I've managed to sucessfully write an outline renderer in AppleScript that outputs nicely structured HTML. Woohoo! My ability and motivation to write longer and more thoughtful pieces for this site just improved dramatically. Learn more here.

OmniOutliner Renderers has been moved to its own page.

Note to Dave - Mark may have said he does not like outliners; however, he DOES understand the power of an outliner:

I like to edit Python code in an IDE (or in Emacs in python-mode), which autoindents for me and allows me to "fold" code blocks (collapse an outline node) that I'm not currently using. He's already got what you're offering him in Radio's outliner (the one Frontier programmers all love)- but without the ability to easily edit that same script in some other text editor.

This afternoon the Coyotes beat the Nashville Predators to end at 6th place. I never cared about hockey (inspite of Jim's obsession with it ;-)) until recently - having an NHL team in town is kinda cool. Still, where DO they get names for these teams? I mean, the "Predators"? Oy.

Well, we've been building a small DVD library, today we finally decided on a DVD player. Amazon is running a sale on DVD players, and we had a gift certificate (for Christmas last year) from Jodi's brother. So we got this Toshiba SD4700. It plays DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, CD, MP3, CD-R/RW and DVD-R, so I think it's going to grow as our system does.

Paolo on the Semantic web (though he doesn't know it):

Basically what is happening is that every piece of information, every idea, every concept, every document is getting its own url. You can access it and reuse it.
