Rob Weltman: "I have posted to my Web site a prototype of an xml-rpc server for accessing an LDAP directory."

Duncan Smeed reports on ETP sites used in teaching.

fighting jetlag, walking around amsterdam, flaky shift key, linux considered harmful, etc.

on my way back from the walk I stopped and had a beer with these people. they didn't understand much english. i of course don't understand much dutch. we talked about america. they had never heard of silicon valley. we talked about the c.i.a., which they had heard of.

re venture capitalists: "Are they people who venture to different capitals," asked Nicole Gordon, 11. "I'd like to go to visit capitals like Washington, DC"

MSNBC: Moms rally for stricter gun laws.

Michael Shrage: "The surprise is that there are still managers and technologists who think that life would be so much better if only their machines understood what they were talking about. That's sad to the point of pathetic. But it certainly helps explain why so many managers and technologists have so much trouble making themselves understood."

Jakob Nielsen: Eyetracking Study of Web Readers.

it's hot, in the eighties, humid, yet this woman was riding her bike fully clothed. i was sweating in shorts and a t-shirt.

it's definitely spring here. lots more pics, but i gotta catch some sleep now.

one more thing, manila express works across the atlantic. the link comes into pike. xml-rpc is a miracle.

OK, with renewed appreciation for dial-up users, here is a selection of today's pictures from Amsterdam, including pictures of Dutch people cruising the canals on a hot Sunday afternoon. Now it's off to dinner with Edd Dumbill.
