Well, I've been sitting here all day, doing essentially nothing, beyond aimless
web surfing and messing with e-mail. I didn't even read
rec.arts.sf.written, which means I'm
probably about 5000 articles behind. I would check, but if I did that it'd be
far too easy to read a post or two or a hundred, and I probably wouldn't
escape for at least two hours.
Stuff bookmarked while aimlessly browsing:
- "The West Wing" Continuity Guide: TV Show - What every good series needs, IMO.
- Will Hively, Math Against Tyranny, Discover Magazine, November, 1996 - There are actually maybe some good arguments for the electoral college...
- ArsDigita Systems Journal: What can we learn from Jakob Nielsen? - Some good web design meta-commentary.
- MetaHTML - A somewhat tempting server side HTML extension language kinda thing.
- vshnu: the New Visual Shell - Interesting looking shell / file manager thingy.
- Ginkgo's Pile of Leaves
- Weblogs.Com : Express yourself to the world - Perhaps a good jumping off point into the whacky world of weblogs, a phenomenon both amazing and overhyped.
- Disturbing Search Requests - Wow, can I ever sympathize with this one.
- An insane rant of epic proportions.
- 9101 -- /News - Now *this* is the early history of the web...
- Dr. Dobb's Web Site
- Crypto-Gram -- October 15, 2000 - Bruce Schneier explains why digital "signatures" aren't. Among a lot of other interesting stuff.
- View from an Iowa Homestead: Curiosity
- Another good GGK interview.
I'd really kind of like to go to Lincoln, and watch Laurel play for the (Nebraska, class C2) state football championship tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have a quiz at 9:00 and a test at 10. The game is at 11. I suppose I could have found a way around this, if I'd actually thought about it prior to this afternoon.
(Interesting to note that though the LCHS site is still an ugly mess, it's an ugly mess considerably improved over what was there when I was supposed to be working on it, a year ago. High on the list of things I'm quite grateful my name isn't attached to in any visible way.)
Now I am going to do some studying.
I keep meaning to stop procrastinating, but I always wind up putting it off a few days...

Well, it didn't snow enough to get any class cancelled... Ah well.
Messing around with that little table cell over to the right of the page. Nothing much of any use there yet.

Snow, I say, SNOW!
