Dick for Prez?
During the Global News National broadcast this evening, Mike Newman referred to Dick Cheney as the U.S. President. It wasn't too
long ago that no one would have corrected him. Dick seems to have taken
a back seat over the last 18-24 months though.

Salim Ismail writes that he's moving on from PubSub
"PubSub is about to go into its next phase and I'm separating from the
company, so my email address won't work anymore. when I started PubSub,
it was always the intent to build it to a certain point and then leave
to do my next venture.
After four years (internet years, no less), that time has come." Good
luck Salim - it was a pleasure working with you at PubSub. I'm looking
forward to learning more about your next venture.

Headlines, it turns out, are useful
The javascript conversion tool that I'm using lacks some flexibility. It
doesn't give me the option not to display headlines, which I prefer not
to, so I'm being forced to write them in. This is actually just another
test. Enjoy! :)

Welcome to my MiniBlog.
I'm using Blogware's very cool moblogging functionality to create the entries in a subcategory of the main blog and then parsing the RSS into the gutter of the main blog using an RSS to Javascript tool. I'll be using this to plow through little bits and small observations, links that people send to me, et al. Nothing serious. You can aggregate this feed from http://www.byte.org/blog/sot/index.xml if you are so inclined. Be warned - I won't be using headlines all that often.

Adding RSS Headlines to my navigation has increased
the visibility of messages that would otherwise languish in
sub-categories. The fact is, people don't really browse sub-categories,
so unless everything is on the main page (which on this blog, it isn't)
people generally won't see it. For the last seven days the article
appearing just before this one in the "Stream of Thoughtlessness"
category is one of my top ten most popular articles for the last seven days.
Neat eh?

I swear, some days
I have the attention span of a nano-gnat. That probably explains why I'm posting this instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing. In pondering what the heck I was supposed to be doing after I was interuppted I began to ponder my attention span and then I began to ponder a post about it and the tragedy is. I still have no clue what I was originally working on before I was interrupted. Agh.

We got some snow
this morning. I thought for sure that it was going to mess up the drive
in, but the snow stopped earlier and is already starting to melt.

It seems that the train

Neat.

Hooked up gprs this afternoon.
It works amazing. Fido prices things out at three cents per k, which
lets me get into the gprs game without having to pop for the fifty
dollars per month super account unless i actually need to. This message
has been brought to you via fido gprs :)

We have a door bell
on the front door of the office so that the receptionist can actually do
other things instead of constantly worrying about who might wander in
off the street. All employee's have smartkeys that give us access to the
building without the need for a regular key or ring the doorbell, but
our delivery people don't. Which means that everytime a delivery person
shows up, they need to ring the door bell. Guess who is going bonkers
everytime the doorbell rings today - salivating, the whole nine yards.
[01:58PM EST]
I ordered a smartphone on Thursday
and its supposed to arrive today. It didn't show up with this
morning's fedex stuff for some reason, which means it should show up
this afternoon. The delay is driving me bonkers.

screw outliners.
I have been trying to integrate outliners into my practice for about a
year. I have, effective immediately, given up on this quest. More, in
great detail, later.

why is it that "fat chance"

Back from bloggercon
and having been sufficiently inspired by Dave's continued enthusiasm
for the model and sufficiently disappointed by the lack of alternate
tools, I've decided to give Radio another shot - this time, purely as an
outliner. Blogware talks enough of the same language as Radio that the
two tools should work well together - even if they don't, I'm more
interested in using a good outliner than I am finding another weblogging
tool. Blogware should keep me happy for a while ;)

The founder of the company
just called me a "biatch". One of the reasons I still work here after
ten years. The constant praise and positive reinforcement really keeps
me motivated.

the test posts
are all related to the new moblog support that we've created. in the
last twelve hours or so, I've been able to test post via mail and post
via SMS - there are still a few bugs to be worked out before we roll
this out to all users, but it does work quite nicely nonetheless. more
as it happens....[via mail]

This morning thing
is sometimes good, sometimes bad. it was really good in the summer
when the sun was starting to rise at this time of the day and it was
getting warm outside. this time of the year, its still dark outside and
not getting any warmer. I've been here a 1/2 an hour and now its time to
go outside for the daily loop. I should be doing this inside. Time for a
gym membership. (this was originally published at 6:20am, but I'm actually using it as a test post meaning that I've had to republish it a few times since ;)

i'm having a really hard time with all of the "this is the end of the internet" and "this is the end of email" posts making the rounds. the fact of the matter is that it isn't terribly hard to stay organized email wise - i get a ton of mail everyday myself - and like most people, its mostly spam. But with the help of a trusty mailer, a whack of mail filters and a decent anti-spam methodology my inbox runneth over with realmail and my trashcan overfloweth with spam and stuff I dont want. no problem here. and i'm one of those crazies that has no problem sticking my email address in a million and six publix places. i don't like spam, but its hard to whine about it when i dont see it. maybe I should formalize these notes into a real post and outline exactly what my spam processing tools do for me...

Hello World.
Neat - a year from now, I can point to this article and say "exactly one year ago at noon, we turned on the juice.". This is probably post #1500. (nope, its 1504. ;)

What is it that some men find so mystifying about urinals? It is a receptacle, not a reflector. Things are supposed to go in a stay in. If this presents an insurmountable percpetual challenge, the one really should be sitting down anyways for fear of hurting oneself in other ways.

I've received 15 virii via email today. Well, 15 notices from Tucows antivirus email checker thingy that there has been 15 attempts to send me virii. Anyways, that's not the point. The point is, based on my read of the headers, someone in ICANN circles has a virus and is serious infecting other people in the ICANN circle. Which is rebounding out to other users in the ICANN circle. I'll give you a rough count of the total later today.

maria says that the UPS isn't making a lot of noise and adrian says that everything is fine because the little LED panel on the front of it says so. I think that this thing is big enough to take us all out if it goes up. We'll see who has the last laugh when we're drenched in flaming PCB's.

Stream of Thoughtlessness is working again. I monkeyed a bit with the category template from the "newdefault" set. Hopefully I'll get back into the habit of using the category again. Now I just need a per category bubble control knob.
