Nice dinner

Got a surprise break away from the world of computers this evening. Some very dear friends of ours decided to have a surprise dinner a couple of days early for my birthday. Thank you, Mary and Howard, for a wonderful treat, and thank you, Angela for helping to arrange it.

They have just returned from a road trip to Texas to see Howard’s son, and talking to them got me pretty jazzed for the roadtrip to Gnomedex and beyond! (I have the whole week after the conference off work, I am planning the great tour of the Midwest! Stops in Des Moines for the Gnomedex festivities, Fargo, to see Jen, Nathan and new baby, and other stops to be determined. I’m still working out the details, but I can’t wait!)

And now, I need some sleep. I’ll catch up with the tech world in the morning!

    Phil’s got a complaint about an article he was reading. Some of it wasn’t accurate: But what really gores my ox is the awareness that, since every news article I read about something I actually know is completely, utterly, absolutely, factually, wrong, I have to assume that all the ones I read about things I…

  • Blogger and RSS

    Seems the new relaunch of Blogger gave people the opportunity to grouse once again about Blogger’s use of Atom instead of RSS. Fair enough. To add a bit more fuel to the fire, the dirty little secret is that the old BloggerPro accounts do support both. Notice how my feed is RSS, version 0.91, I…

    From a link at PC Doctor, under the heading of Email annoyances, I followed along to this post and laughed especially hard at this one: “The 18-line sig about all the Bad Things that will happen to me if I ever reveal the contents of your privileged, confidential (and unencrypted) message” As any law-firm IT…
