Late morning, sleeping in with a dreary rain forecast for the day.

Ace technician Steve has diagnosed the grinding sounds of my main development machine as a failing CPU fan. Got a new one on order. Gotta cross my fingers that it gets here first…

http://www.google.ca/press/zeitgeist.html has some great information about who is using Google and what that are looking for.

Justification for my slacking off the last two weeks could be twisted out of Tom Demarco’s latest book, ISBN:076790768X Slack.

The Boston Software Process Improvement Network has an interesting site, newsletter and group mission.

Time to go multi-user. Added the HoneyDew topic. Boy, am I in trouble now… First buglet: IE6 centers all of the text in the Tiger skin.

Blogging is a fascinating self-referential game, where many of the players contribute to a conversation and link to each other. The New York Times in jumping in on the story today, calling bloggers journalists. Perhaps journalists in the old sense of “keeping a journal.” Metafilter, Scripting News and InstaPundit? have dozens of links. An incredible time sink.

If VOB does what it claims to do, it looks like quite the bargain!

Robert Scoble, a fellow MVP, blogs on Radio Userland, a place where he used to work for Dave Winer and associate with the likes of Dan Gillmor. I’ve been following some of the goings-on personally between the men, and trying to understand how having this out in the open is more challenging.

Happy birthday, Mom.

Another beautiful Saturday, spent doing work around the house. Repaired two outdoor extension cords – out eaten by the mower, the other, I think, by the snow blower. Both are working now, and made it through the first day of mowing. Weeded gardens, repaired the hanger for the bird feeders, and did other domestic kinds of things. Great day.

Spent the morning walking through the “InstallShield Express Limited Special Visual FoxPro? Edition” that replaces the Setup Wizard to install a VFP application. The interface is pretty good, although not entirely consistent, and the frequent ads for “you could do this in the real Express edition” showing disabled features was a little annoying. But, it got the job done.

A brief day. Worked on client stuff in the mornings, prepared and attended the Boston Windows 2000 User Group in the evening. Arrived home to spectacular thunderstorms, left the computers off.
