That's it for this year! See y'all in 2-2.  Blog-Con: "Vegas was chosen not for proximity but for the possibility of getting 50 million bloggers in one place at once. We already have more than 3 million signed up, but we need more." Survey: Is it 2002 where you are? Another survey: Will you/did you get drunk to celebrate the New Year? WSJ: Computer in Kabul holds chilling memos. "Last May, someone sat down at an IBM desktop here and typed out a polite letter to a bitter foe of al-Qaida, the anti-Taliban leader Ahmed Shah Massoud. The writer tapped at the computer for 97 minutes, according to its internal record, then printed out the fruit of his labor: a request for an interview with Massoud." Essaylet: When to give away the technology. I think that should be my year-ending DaveNet piece. What do you think? Or maybe it should be my first DaveNet of the new year? Hmmm. Phillip Harrington chose Weblogs.Com as one of his Best of 2001's. Thanks! In a way it's nice to be thought of as being so thoughtful as to have planned to get so embroiled in debate. Now of course we don't mind the traffic, our servers get lonely if no one uses them. But we're not the king of the hill as Julian suggests. Blogger was just named one of the seven wonders of the Web. Microsoft has $30+ billion in cash (we have $0 billion). We're just a little company always trying to figure out how we fit in in this crazy ever-changing world we live in. John Robb summarizes the discussion about open source. Two-Two   Good morning and welcome to the last day of yet another year. Later today I will say "That's it for this year." Tomorrow we start another one, Murphy-willing of course. What will happen in that year? Everyone wants to know. Its name will be 2002, that much we do know. It can be pronounced Two-Two. The name of an award-winning bishop from South Africa. A short dress female dancers wear, and male comedians. You heard it here first. All the news that's not worth printing. It's even worse than it appears. Another thing that will happen in 2002 -- the On This Day In feature will get another year. I could put it in right now but that would just get another pointer to the text you're reading right now. That would be Two recursive for my poor coffee-deprived brain. |
