Jim Roepcke took me to task for my previous comment about dual-booting an Intel-based Mac with Windows. I said:

Hm. Dave is re-inventing RSS's <enclosure> element, this time as the technology-specific <torrent> element. We already have Bittorrent-as-enclosure working just fine, thank you.

I've found some links to my content floating around the web of the form www.redmonk.net/discussion/thread.html$msgnum=2353 So I decided to route them to the same script that maps some of my other old Conversant URLs to the new site, and now the discussion-style links work after a fashion - they get 302'd to the correct url - in this case redmonk.net/archives/2003/10/30/winter-lawn-redux.

Dave Hyatt blogs about the solution he chose for the extensions Apple is making to (X)HTML to support the new features in Safari and Dashboard. I think he chose the right solution and it's fun to see the conversation played out in the public space.

Sean McMains (friend and Conversant user) has been out of work since March when they closed the office of Electronic Arts where he worked. > Woohoo! Just heard from the University, and they extended me an offer! I should be starting on Monday.

Bill Bumgarner: IP more sacred than life? >In Japan if you develop software that MIGHT be used to violate copyright laws you can be charged with a crime and be arrested. Yet, in the USA, if you manufacture guns that MIGHT be used to kill someone you are essentially immune from criminal prosecution...

Bill has some good comments on Microsoft's acknowledgement that Longhorn is not going to ship until 2006.

BIll points us to this bit of absurdity from Donald Rumsfeld.

Eric Meyer went and saw Weird Al Yankovic...

No time to blog this properly, but Bill blogs an IM conversation we had about Mark Pilgrim's "Winer Watch". See Bill's site for links.

Scoble says: "I'm glad I'm not in Silicon Valley right now, though. I heard it was 107 in my dad's car in San Jose yesterday. Whew."

Discussion on #openacs about ways to handle Form-to-Email in openacs without creating a spam-machine...

Well, I managed to survive Monday's brain-bake, so obviously Murphy was not satisfied. Grilling a nice fat rack of boneless pork ribs tonight I got a rather severe burn to my forearm from the grill lid. Damn.

Dave Hyatt:quoteIf my geek receptors aren't burned out by X-Men 2, they are guaranteed to be overloaded by the righteousness of The Matrix Reloaded.endquote MMmmmmm, Matrix.

Jodi, dear that she is, has been picking up my blogging slack lately over on . She's covered our visit to Paulo Soleri's Arcosanti, my mom's plans for an Ivy Family portal, as well as a site of her own, and she's reviewed X-Men 2, which we saw yesterday (hint- it rocked!). If posting seems slack here, for the latest!

Random Stuff:

• Thanks to Scoble linking to this post, I'm now #41 on Popdex. I'll be gone in a couple days, but it's been fun!
• TidBITS is looking for a CMS, Zope/Plone mentioned as a possibility.
• I rode 16 miles yesterday, in 1 hour, 20 minutes. My longest ride this year.

Dori responds to my earlier post with some good points.

Of course, no journey would be complete without a few choice temptations along the way.

Clever, and interesting. Mike Sanders has posted a webloggers' version of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It's split into several different posts, so start from the list on Ton's Interdependent Thoughts.

Chris Ruzin re-arranged his archive section partly based on my work on the new calendar on this site. Cooooool.
