I've been hunting for a free or low-cost log analysis tool for Windows.  

I've also been hunting for the Newsweek article on the Web. Do you have the print magazine? Is there an article about blogging in today's issue? 

The opening session of BloggerCon III, where we sing the National Anthem (not the obvious one) and get warmed up for a day of discussions.  

News of Powell's resignation is in the State Dept's RSS feed. 

Scott Rosenberg: "At what point will our leaders get their heads around the simple fact that our enemies here have no back to break?" 

The audio of the BC session that Scott led is up at IT Conversations. 

Craig Cline summarizes the Mobile Blogging session. 

Okay I got tired of comment spam and got tired of waiting for Google or UserLand to do something about it. I wrote an hourly script that deletes all comments (on just one of my servers) that have one of several keywords in their bodies. Yeah, I guess they may change the URLs of their sites, and I'll add the new URLs to the list of URLs I check for. I guess I'm getting started on a race. The first two sites to benefit are the iPodder and BloggerCon sites.  

CNN: Colin Powell, Bush's Secretarty of State, resigns. 

Microsoft's search blog reports on an unauthorized leak, with screen shots, of their own desktop search tool.  

Rebecca MacKinnon: BloggerCorps? 

Don Park on standards bodies and breakage. 

Adam Curry's battery took a dive just before the move. 

A year ago I wrote that I was a smoker who doesn't smoke. Something changed. Today I'm a non-smoker. It's getting hard for me to understand how I used to be a smoker.
