[ANN] Conversant 1.0b1

Macrobyte: [ANN] Conversant 1.0b1 (the only thing beta about it is the incomplete docs, IMHO)

"Conversant is a flexible web application development platform, with emphasis on groupware applications such as Intranets, project work groups and collaborative learning environments. It provides exceptional integration of web, email, and even news-based (NNTP) collaboration."

It's been three years in the making, but the day has finally arrived! Woohoo! Congratulations to Seth and co. for shipping. (real artists ship, you know)

Check it out!

In case you didn't know, this site is a Conversant site, hosted by Macrobyte.

Cool screenshot utility for Mac OS X

I saw a co-worker using Constrictor, and was VERY impressed with the intuitiveness of this software.

For people doing documentation with screenshots, this is a VERY useful utility. (hint hint)

Embargo creates leverage

USA Today: Embargo creates leverage

This is a well written op/ed piece, I think. Not the typical thing you'd think I'd point to or agree with but I can see the logic there. As much as I'd love to see embargos lifted on nations I understand that the USA has its beliefs to consider when trading with another nation.

Ted Rall Op/Ed re Hekmatyar

Ted Rall: When Idiocy Meets Evil Outside Kabul

"Reagan's Executive Order 12333 states that "no person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination." That executive order, confirmed by Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr., remains the law.

Bush broke that law. He should step down and face prosecution for attempted murder."

Funniest /. post ever

Slashdot: MS Cites National Security to Justify Closed Source

"Microsoft has therefore taken the position that their code is so bad that it must kept secret to keep people from being killed by it. Windows - the Pinto of the 21st century."

ROTFLMAO!!!

Huhhh?

Libertarian Senate Hopeful in tough against Constitution-quashing Judge

"Then I'll explain it again. You are not to reference the Constitution in these proceedings. You will not address it in voir dire, you will not address it in your opening remarks, you will not ask any questions about the Constitution when you summon your witnesses, and you will not talk about the Constitution when you give your closing arguments. Do you understand my instructions?", questioned Judge Patterson.

That is fucked up.
