A trio of interesting Oilers stories
Oilers make top 10 in ESPN poll
That comes as no surprise to me, I've known my whole life that this team is something special. The Detroit Red Wings were the only NHL team ahead of the Oilers in the list if 118 teams.
Injury-riddled Oilers earn OT win
Ferry Building renos nearly done
NYTimes (via SN): A Waterfront Palace of Produce -- an interesting story about the Ferry Building in SanFran.
Just before I joined NetStruxr (R.I.P.) in 2001, they moved out of the Ferry Building because it the part of the building they were in was about to be renovated/restored. I've never been in the building, but the next time I'm in SF I'll make a point of visiting it.
Plone 1.0 RC2 installer for Mac OS X
I just finished the installer package for Plone 1.0 RC2 on Mac OS X.
It's available from the Files section of the Plone project on SourceForge.
Thanks to Andy McKay, Sidnei da Silva, Alexander Limi, Alan Runyan and Johnie Wardlaw for helping me get this thing put together, and of course to Mark Murphy for authorizing the time to get it done. :-)
This release doesn't have a pretty System Preferences pane like our OpenNMS installer, the Plone team is planning a cross-platform controller app for Zope/Plone, so I deferred to that effort.
The OpenNMS prefpane could probably be adapted to Zope pretty easily though.

Roddick: I'm not dead yet!
Ouch! And I thought I was brave, playing 1.5 hours of squash last night. Good thing Andy's so young. :-)
A great UNIX resource for OS X users

A very useful site. Thanks Ernest!
Mitnick free at last
Wired: Live on the Web: Kevin Mitnick
Woz gave Kevin Mitnick a new PowerBook G4. Sweet. I read Kevin was selling his old computers on eBay to be able to afford a PowerBook... I wonder, will he still sell those computers now? :-)
Xavier finally likes to walk
Xavier started walking the week after Christmas last year. But only if we'd beg him to. :-) He hated doing it, even though he could, preferring to crawl instead.
This week he started doing more walking on his own... but today, I think today's really the turning point. He walked a lot more than he crawled today. He even turned around, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, walking in circles, and even trying to walk fast to catch up to his sister.
So down the road, when we wonder, when did Xavier start walking, I think we'd have to say, 2 days before his 1st birthday.
Way to go boy!

Will Mac users still be able to rip these discs? BTW, what's the point of a Media Center PC if you can't get your media on the PC?
Xavier's Icy Squares
Yesterday, Xavier somehow managed to get at a bowl of Icy Squares that had been on the dining room table and plow through about 2 of them before I caught him.
Rather than clean him up, my first reaction was to grab the camera and take some pics. :-) Here's the first one:
Cyan denies any involvement whatsoever.
