MySQL 3.23.52 it out. I've just upgraded the server.

Yesterday I bought a copy of NewzCrawler, which is very similar to NetNewsWire, but for Winblows.

I've also created an RDF channel for this blog.

Tomorrow is going to be another busy day, we're all helping Flora finish her move. Vicki is conveniently still out of town. She's coming back on Wednesday.

Wow, major flashback. I just saw a new version of Practica Musica on VersionTracker. I bought that software back in 1989, but never really got around to use it much.

Fred Thompson is joining the cast of Law & Order. I remember when he first ran for a senate seat I thought he was on his way to become a future presidential candidate. Acting is good too.

I just read about France considering banning porn from TV. At least they're showing some. The only thing we get around here is soft-porn, which is really offending.

Apple strikes again. Looks like DDR means nothing on the Mac. At least someone is suing them over .Overpriced. Hope they win.

Microsoft now says the SSL flaw is in the operating system, not the Web browser. Let me see if I got the story straight: It's not really IE's fault, but only affects IE. Whatever… fix it already.

I'm gonna get me one of 'em Tombstone ATMs.

Ummm… I don't know what to think of the 9/11 LIHOP theory. But as far as conspiracy theories go, it's a good one.

Jump Start

The van did it to me again, the battery was flat dead. I jump started it, but apparently did not let it run long enough. Which is when I managed to fry my jump cables… Major duh!… Flora came over and we used her cables. Thankfully everything went pretty smooth from then on.

Me like agua.

I voted for Kelly, again.

My search of a good editor resumes with Visual SlickEdit… Seems to be extremely powerful but only time will tell.

Later on tonite, I have to go help Vicki' sister, Flora, move aquariums from her old apartment to the new house she just bought. We'll be using my van. Should be fun.

Busy Day

Busy Day.

In the morning, we'll be attending Jake's christening. Later in the afternoon, heading to the airport. Vicki is leaving for her 10 days business/leisure trip to Provo.

I'll be home all alone. Well… not really… the cats will keep me company.

Java on OS X

<1 min read

If Apple does deliver 10.2 on the 24th it would have been 200 days since Java 1.4 was released. 437 days since the first public beta. Pathetic.

On the other hand, there was only 9 days between the release of Java 1.3 and its availability on OS X.

It is pretty much safe to say that Java is currently at the bottom of Apple's priority list. Shameful.
