Okay, that’s it. I’m not
Okay, that’s it. I’m not going to suffer any more of these click hungry EMU/ROM sites. I’m tired of waiting for downloads that never come, I’m tired of going to these “top 25” voting sites so I can access downloads. Please help me find a good solid arcade game ROM site that will not fucking run me around banner ads and voting scams. No, I’m not naming names… I understand why they are doing it, but I don’t like it. I don’t want to initiate any boycotts or anything. I just want a nice FTP site for MAME compatable ROMS.…

Hollywood looks to kill hyperlinks
Hollywood looks to kill hyperlinks in copyright fights. Evidently, the latest ploy of the hollywood/music industry legal pit bulls in the battle against “piracy” is to attact the premise of linking. Cases and opinions are pending that could have a remote possiblilty of effecting how we link. Remote, but real… this always scares me, when supreme courts decide things that are so far reaching. Technophobic baby boomers and their plaintiffs in action, once again.

Please take time to read
Please take time to read the entry on Greasy Skillet dated 7/25, I was rather taken with it. I can’t tell you how many times I have allowed this to happen to me. I wish I could go back and relive every time… and do it differently, at least. I think that these are the ghosts that haunt us when we are old. Great work David.

Last week I was heading
Last week I was heading for work. Traffic was kind of moving slow, it was earlier than I normally go in. I was sitting in the line of cars, you know, stop and go. Detroit is not as famous as Washington DC, New Youk, or L.A. for traffic jams, but we hold our own among the urban sprawls. I noticed a mother duck and her 4-5 babies moving towards the highway and it’s 4 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic. I could feel panic rise as she got closer to the cars. The highway is divided, so she could really…

Excellent Metafilter discussion! I’ll say
Excellent Metafilter discussion! I’ll say that out of approx. 30+ internet users that I know (not developers), not a single one uses Navigator. Of course the AOL users don’t even know what a browser is. : o Why does AOL use IE? Long term contract? I found the Master Compatibility Chart very informative. Dean, there is great confusion about (XML/XSL) MSXML and IE 5+. From discussions that I’ve participated in during the last 10 days, every other question pertains to the latest namespace and how to install MSXML 3.0. I found this Unofficial MSXML XSLT FAQ site to be very…

I’ve always searched for the
I’ve always searched for the perfect cup of coffee. Everyone who know me well, knows they can always get a cup of stiff coffee at my house. I’ve reasearched the topic a great deal. I still think that percolated coffee is best for taste and caffeine content. This small gathering of data presented in a handy reference table called the Erowid Caffeine Vault : Content in Beverages supports my claims. Of course all of the cooking references, books, how-to’s say that the filtered one pass method is the preferred method for taste. But, that’s what cream and sugar are for.…

Here is a fascinating MetaFilter
Here is a fascinating MetaFilter discussion, that I’m embroiled in about the lack of product from Netscape/Mozilla and adoption of web standards. This is all in relation/reaction to the WsSP!’s open letter to Mozilla. My hope is that the letter will cause them to do what I said about a week ago, hurry up and get it done already.

The answer to The Stinky
The answer to The Stinky Meat Project: The StinkyFeet Diaries. Rich thinks that this is fake. I can’t say that I blame him, but there are some very odd people in this world. I always say, “No matter what you think, say, or do… someone has thought, said, or done it before.”

Since energy can neither be
Since energy can neither be created, or destroyed. I must concede that I may agree with Einstein. There indeed may be an afterlife, if this is true. Therefore, I would like to return to existance, upon my death, as an Outlook Virus. That would be greeeeaaaat.

Nope, no problems at all, however, I am a Netscape user. Traditionally, Netscape has handled true NNTP news feeds much better than Outlook. However, try Free Agent which is much better than either of them.

Using the new “tell dean”
Using the new “tell dean” link again from the browser. Right now I’m on the MSDN site. Dean, are you able connect to the server for the newsgroups? I can’t. I’ve been trying the xml one for about a week and I just keep getting….”server not found”. When I use your link it tells me “unable to connect to server”. I have tried to connect to the msnews-gw server as well with no luck….

Maxtor Corporation releases an 80GB
Maxtor Corporation releases an 80GB hard drive. The IBM Deskstar 75GXP sports 75GB for about $540.00 Since the Maxtor Diamond Max 60 is about $260.00, I’d expect this one not to break $400.00. Can you imagine not having two or three of these things, wow… Only 5400 RPM thought. Keep in mind that smaller Fujitsu drives are hitting 15,000 RPM and about 4ms seek times.
