Squats of the Day

Seems that some people just haven't figured things out... EMAILFROMNETWORKSOLUTIONS.COM NETWORKSOLUTIONSEMAIL.COM NEWNETWORKSOLUTIONS.COM NEWNETWORKSOLUTIONS.NET NEWNETWORKSOLUTIONS.ORG etc...

[Update: I really should start doing whois lookups on these things before I post them. In this particular case, these are all owned by Verisign or Verisign employee's. So I suppose that people have figured things out (like don't leave obvious squats out there for registration if you are paranoid about your brand...) - I'll stop now. Waiting for the other half of my fishing trip to show up.]

The dry side of the ice...

Great - I'm goin' ice fishin' and it looks like there are more people in the water than there are fish. Almost looks like it might be a better weekend to sit inside and talk about fishing than it would be to actually go fishing. Especially if that means fishing each other out of the water.

MT 0, Me 1

In setting up the new blog, I've been pleasantly surprised quite a few times. There is still far too much complexity in their system, but the positive results have thus far exceeded any obstacles that I've run into (Joe would have a substantially different opinion I fear - perhaps it is more of a pleasure working with Joe than it is working with MT ;) One thing that I have discovered is the wicked combination that Newzcrawler's Aggregator is when combined with the Newzcrawler Blog Client, MT's XML-RPC interface and MT itself. This is exactly what I wanted from a blog refinery in the first place. Data goes in, content comes out. MT has thus far left me with the feeling that I've been doing something productive, whereas Radio always left me feeling like I was tinkering around with something until it worked.

A Wiltshire dad, "Children need to be force fed standards, they need to be made to do right." What, does this guy work for Sony?

I'm off on an ice-fishing trip this weekend and I'm reminded of this quote..."Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak." - Jay Leno

Which is probably exactly what we will be doing ";->"

Looks like Apple figured it out - even without announcing an eyePod. Autodiscovery even. Drool.
