  • It's Finally Over

    Thank goodness. It’s finally over. We have a humble [winner][GWB] and [someone][Kerry] who gave a gracious concessions speech. All I can say is “everyone get over it.” Being angry and bitter or giddy and self-righteous is totally non-productive. If you want to vent — vent. But let it pass. I can’t understand how many people…

  • Jeff Cheney's take

    Jeff is someone I consider a friend. When I made my last post about Kerry’s discharge he emailed me. We’ve been carrying on a rather lengthy discussion of the issues. All without the usual ad hominem attacks on either candidate. It’s refreshing. Perhaps we’ll find a way to publish it, but then to what real…

  • Podcasting

    This is a very cool idea. I’ve been playing around with it for the past 24 hours. Here’s what I did. 1. Downloaded [podder.py][] script. 2. Followed [directions][1]. 3. Made suggestion to Clint Ecker, the author of the script about automatically removing the downloaded MP3 as it gets duplicated upon entry into [iTunes][]. 4. He…

  • VoodooPad

    [VoodooPad][1] is one of those very cool apps that you just want to try to use. Essentially a [wiki-style][2] notepad. It was so cool I paid the shareware fee after a day. I don’t know if it’ll eventually find it’s way into my normal working pattern. But it’s certainly worth a try. Go grab the…
