RasterWeb!

Just like webgraphics, I too am exited about the new text formatting options out there. Brad gives us MT-Textile, which I adapted to a system I’m working on pretty darn quickly. Brad says he’ll generalize it away from MT and put it on CPAN soon. Also on the radar is Tiki which I haven’t look at yet, but you can bet I will.

The cool thing about this is, you may be able to add the new Movable Type Simple and Powerful Text Formatting feature to any home-brew system quite easily…

I’ve got this magazine advertisement for a Microsoft product that promises to get you out of something they call “DLL hell.” My question is, who put you into this “DLL hell” thing? Wasn’t that Microsoft? Won’t they just put you into some other type of hell? With Microsoft it seems every version instantly makes the previous version a piece of crap.

Seen on a mailing list:

This is a known bug. I plan on addressing it eventually.

Excellent…

In breaking news, I purchased a domain name yesterday. I know, it’s not a big story like purchasing Blogger, but I’m a simple man with simple needs..

I was sick most of last week. I still worked, just less.

I managed to make it into the office Friday just in time to be relocated. Yes, my desk has been moved near the window. Unlike Russ, who wants to be near the window, it annoys me. Almost as much as the flourescent lights (which I plan to disable.) See, the light from the window comes in, it shrinks your pupils, you look at the screen, your eyes strain. Pain. And the glare, sheesh! I’ve already constructed a small roof for my cube and will put it into place tomorrow.

Yes, if possible, I’d work in a dark room, isn’t that how hackers are supposed to work, in dimly lit rooms, pecking away at keyboards?
