mftl sounds like a pretty cool programming language. but i'll admit to have a soft-spot for any language that allows question-marks in identifiers.

there's an article on mozillaquest (yikes, make friends with a competent designer) about how mozilla 1.0 won't be out until 2002. i like how the author goes on about the 3000 bugs, and 14,000 "new, assigned, and reopened" bugs, and seems to expect a 1.0 release sooner. huh? (the politics of version numbers is always stupid.)

ignore this garbage, go download the latest mozilla build, and enjoy. they are, in my experience, quite stable (and without all the added junk that is in the releases from netscape.com).

pencils down is a site campaigning against standardized testing in schoolds (in a nutshell, read the site for more). an adjunct professor of education at pepperdine is behind it.

i really should dump my va linux stock. now that the company is basically focused on sourceforge, and i find sourceforge appalling (the geocrawler mailing list archive service is especially terrible), it really doesn't make much sense to hold on to the stock.
