iMOG the bLOG


Saturday, February 01, 2003

I have it almost to the point of looking decent, no graphics yet but the new blog is here. I have a bit more leeway and am busy learning XML and CSS2. So far, it is in compliance with standards and works with the blogger api thou I haven't tried that bit out yet cause I haven't made that many changes yet. But it can be looked at.

Messing with the blog template so if it looks weird, you'll know why. Well, changes aren't working so I tried messing with php on my site, still haven't gotten that to work right so waiting on help to figure out what stupid thing I did.

Still awake and now very unhappy. Curiosity, as I was excused before it was stated what the trial was about, I wanted to know. I found out and even without the back pain I would have been excused. Think it had to do with this. in relation to a crime that I have strong feelings for, abusing and murdering a child. They want impartial jurors.

I'm no expert but that was a great address, me happy. Now I expect stuff will really start happening, well with Iraq, the domestic agenda has to be passed first.

I lucked out, had jury duty. I was picked for a trial that was expected to be a month long and as luck would have it, I got excused, reason it hurt to sit cause of my back. I'm only many thousands of emails behind cause it hurt to sit. Today it really hurt. I was trying to read some mail when psycho cat leaped up, slipped and raked my finger with her claw. I was so pissed at that cat. Must remember to lock the door if I want to use the PC. Her claws hurt.

Now I am going to relax, nurse my wound, and listen to the President's State of the Union Address. I am really curious what he has on Saddam that hasn't been released. I was pleasantly surprised at how bleak Blix's report yesterday was. Guess Saddam didn't fool him as much as Saddam would have liked.

Yesterday when I woke, I went to check my IM email and noticed NAV went crazy, worm after worm had been caught. I also noticed my ISP said I was over my limit on emails. Checking found 68 dupes of one letter, 138 dupes of another. I am guessing either the ISP or Yahoo Groups went crazy with the cyberattack. And I know Microsoft will use the attack as just one more reason to go with their "trustworthy computing", ie Palladium. Uh, hello people. Macs don't get Windows viruses/worms and neither do Unix boxes, all flavors. There is life after Microsoft and life can be sweet indeed without the threat of getting attacked. Sides, I do like Unix. Now if I could find/build an open source alternative to Incredimail, I would be happy. I AM addicted, love creating. However, IM has instituted draconian DRM into their program. Now I paid for mine, did within days of downloading it. Some people have not and have even cracked the program. Now I am not in favor of cracks but the software is still in beta stage. I could hardly consider it a finished product as buggy as it is. And I understand not wanting to pay for beta software. I am still bugged by the bugs thou. And I am no big enthusiast of DRM. So far, Apple has the best DRM natch.
