Bryan Bell lists his Manila themes for 2003. 

Derek Slater: "Good to know that some universities are willing to stick up for their students." 

A new report on the Berkman site, shows site updates in reverse-chronologic order. It's merely a listing of the contents of config.manila.updatedHomePages. 

One of Doc's friends asks a question we hadn't thought of. Will New Iraq be allowed to hate Israel as Iraq Classic did?  

A picture named shotton.jpgI had a bunch of very strange dreams last night. Isn't that typical. Everyone's always saying that blogs are about trivial stuff. Anyway, here's the dream. Groove, for some reason, had fired all its engineers except for a couple, and Ray and his brother, and they hired Chuck Shotton, and Chuck was leading the team producing a new version, and instead of sucking up to Microsoft, they made it work really well with apps that support XML-RPC and RSS. I remember thinking what a strange idea. It took them a while to get a beta that works. Then I woke up. 

Speaking of bad dreams, David Green at NTK had a doozy of a bad dream about fellow sarcastic Brit Andrew Orlowski. Someone ought to tell those guys that self-deprecating humor is funnier, although his piece about Orlowski had me howling and rolling on the floor. 

A picture named rohit.jpgBTW, NTK stands for Need To Know, which surprisingly is not related to KnowNow. That reminds me that everyone I knew at KnowNow is now somewhere else, so I don't really know anyone at KnowNow, now. Try saying that fifteen times fast. 

Greenspun: "Now that we New Englanders seem finally to escaped the clutches of Winter it may be worth reflecting that it could have been much worse." 

If you want me to like you, buy my stock.  

Bruce Loebrich wrote to say that no one can make me happy by buying my shares because none were available. So I created 5000 additional shares, and thus dropped the per-share price dramatically, but it's slowly coming back up and now anyone who wants to can buy these very affordable shares that are sure to increase in value.  

One year ago today a nice engineer joke. Or is it a transgender joke?
