Washington Post: Republicans Draft Impeachment. Like it or not, it's happening. Analysts believe the House will impeach Clinton next week, followed by a Senate trial early next year.

UserLand's explanation for the slow performance of our dynamic server.

I'm doing my first Nirvana slide show tomorrow, and of course I wanted you all to be able to sneak a peek.

I had a few minutes to kill this evening so I added a new feature to our dynamic server. For each member, we now list the messages he or she has posted in the discussion group. Here's an example.

Everyone says Linux is strong on the server, it sure is, but now, why give up on the workstation? Linux seems a better fit than Java OS was for the "thin client" everyone used to talk about. It's still a good idea. Give me a few clean and simple editors that run fast on a 1995-era laptop and I'm happy! It's got to have great TCP, and hardly ever needs to write to its own disk. This leads to the inevitable, why doesn't someone who knows menus and windows and mice get over to Linux quickly and lead the desktop developers? Of course I'm thinking about Jean-Louis Gassee and company. As if they need to do another port. {qbullet.imageref ("sidesmiley")}
