More unoriginal thinking in the Linux world

The latest in blatant Linux-software-ripoff-jobs is Kivio, a Visio clone.

First of all, why would you clone Visio? Even more than Outlook sucks and thus Evolution-as-an-Outlook-clone sucks more, Visio has an even more horrible UI, IMO.

If you want a great diagramming tool, check out GlyphiX... I hope they port it to Mac OS X (it's currently available for Mac OS X Server and NT/2000 through the Yellow Box libraries that (only) come with WebObjects).

Radio UserLand weblog?

There doesn't appear to be a definitive Radio UserLand weblog... by UserLand or anyone else. I've been out of the picture since early October and I don't have time to read the 700+ messages on the RU mailing list between then and now.

I'm looking for something like the Frontier News page, something that chronicles new features, updates, changes, discussions, etc.

I don't care if UserLand does it, as long as it's well maintained. Please!

(Maybe one exists and I've missed it?)

Federal Election: November 27th

It's Official: we vote on Nov. 27th

That's 36 days from now. That's great, I only have to listen to political bullshit for a month or so...

There's a difference between the US and Canada. In the US, practically 30% of a term is spent campaigning... and it goes on and on and on and on on CNN. Here, we hear what they have to say, vote... or not, and get on with the hockey season like nothing happened. :-)

Mozilla bug

I submitted a bug to Bugzilla today. Mozilla only works on the primary monitor in Windows 2000 -- browser windows on secondary monitors are totally non-functional except for the window frame. :-( (I have two monitors attached to my machine) Okay here's another bug... it's not sending CRLF for line endings in TEXTAREA boxes. Grrrr... probably just LF.

Patrick Roy arrested, domestic violence suspected

Roy arrested, released on bail

Okay that's too weird. He beats Sawchuk's wins-record and now this? Doesn't make sense. Sigh.

Teens: Before Their Time

Teens: Before Their Time -- "With budding breasts and pubic hair, U.S. girls are developing earlier than ever. What's causing it? And what are the psychological effects?"

I'm sure there's something in the environment causing this. Maybe its the unnatural foods we eat (all the meat is pumped with hormones and other chemicals, just for starters), or in the air or water.

As a father of a young daughter, I find this very interesting. I hope this turns out to be as simple as starting puberty early, instead of signs of something actually very bad in the future.

Being John Malkovich (1999)

IMDB: Being John Malkovich (1999)

Saw it tonight. What a strange, strange flick. I wouldn't see it again, not because it's bad, but it's too draining.

If you like strange, unique movies that twist your brain up, see Being John Malkovich.

BTW, I thought the many-Malovichs scene was total bull... there should have been a stack overflow. ;-)

Free at last

It's DONE!

And thus ends at least 20 straight days of work, where I put in over 200 hours. Probably closer to 250 hours, +/- 20.

No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm completely burned out.
