Misc Stuff.

Informative stuff here, a comparison of different desktop firewall offerings.

Jevon in response to Scott Andrew’s suggestion that blog tools “talk” to blogtrack instead of it going out looking for changes:

Scott: we would love if everyone would talk to us and tell us when they have updated, but until that happens; we talk to weblogs.com when we can and scrape most of what we need.

It would be nice, but I wonder if this is a chicken and egg argument. If blog tools don’t try to talk to blogtrack, there’s no reason to build an interface to allow it, and if blogtrack doesn’t have the interface, there’s no reason for blog tools to try and “talk” to it. I think a critical mass of users asking for it would get this pushed along, I’m not sure that critical mass exists yet.

Apparently, blogging is becoming a part of the job description of everyone attached to Lockergnome, but Lori and Jake haven’t quite become addicted to daily updates, like the rest of us! On the other hand, Randy seems to have gotten the bug. 🙂

Looks like I missed a birthday yesterday. Happy 36th Frank! And here I thought I was the old one among my fellow linkers. Frank’s got me by a couple of years. 🙂

    I’m feeling it this morning. I shouldn’t have stayed out so late last night, but it was all good fun. I’m just getting my caffeine fix from the free in-room coffee maker before heading out to Fargo/Moorhead. It’s only about 7 hours so that’s not too bad. Plus with a one-month old, I doubt Jen…

    I was able to finagle my way to a “Well we need to make sure it works so we can send it back” look at my Dell Axim X5, It setup real easy and works really well. I was quite happy with the performance and the simplicity of syncing it with Outlook. Looks like I…

    Girl, 13, dies after being hit by hockey puck This is a really sad thing to me, as a hockey fan and a Columbus resident. My heart goes out to a family who went out for a fun night on the town and to catch a game and had it turn into such a tragedy….

    It never fails! Register at a job site, or try to get your resume out as much as possible and then just watch the number of “Work from Home” offers and “Great financial opportunity” spams come rolling in, including some that try to hide as legit responses to your resume. But they’re pretty easy to…

    I forgot to mention the other omen that this is going to be a real good week. Later yesterday, after I posted that stuff, I discovered that someone had thrown a rock and broken one of the windows on the second floor of our office building. The window is in an empty office so no…
