Random Notes

Beth is back blogging at a new locale. Those of you who were at Gnomedex last year know who Beth is, since she spoke. The rest of you will just have to go this year and meet her. (Thanks to Doc for the pointer.)

I’m still holding out some hope that I’ll make it to Iowa this year, and I’ll get to sit and talk to Robert about some of his ideas. 🙂

Ok, gotta run, lots of things on my plate today, so I better get to it!

    Well no, it’s not. Despite the ominous sounding headline, blogging is more popular than ever, people just aren’t calling it that any more. Yes, the “blog” that we first talked about at the turn of the century, and in 2001 when I started; a list of entries sorted in reverse chronological order and with full…

  • One other experiment

    One other experiment I’ve had in mind recently is tied into something that’s not been working correctly anyway. I just sent this email to the folks who had been getting posts by email: As I’ve mentioned before, something seems to have gone terribly awrywith the topica list in terms of getting emails when I post…
