submit your proposal now and beat the rush. (proposals are due on november 1, the conference is in april 2005 in santa clara.)

the manchurian candidate (the original) is playing tonight at the arclight.

and by tonight, i of course mean tomorrow.

i don’t even remember the context in which it came up, but one thing that came up briefly in a conversation at foo camp was people who have way too much time on their hands for being a nuisance, like the folks who jump all over anything jeremy says.

powerblogs, the closed-source, hosted blog application that a few well-known political blogs use (among others, presumably) introduced a feature recently called “post chaining”. it’s sort of an on-the-fly categorization, where the posts in the chain are automatically linked to by all of the other entries in the chain. so if i provided a link to this posting in the middle of a chain about jimmy swaggart’s stupid kill-gay-people remark, you can easily find what earlier and later posts on the same issue had to say.

i signed a new lease, so i guess that means i’m planning on staying in downtown los angeles through at least october 2005. (and the nice thing is that my rent did not increase.)

maybe by then i will have unpacked and/or gotten rid of the things that are still in boxes.
