Google zeitgeist. If I wasn't already used to the feeling I'd be surprised I hadn't seen that page before. Probably as close to a snapshot of the world computer using group mind as you can get. Dig the top 5 historical personalities:
1. picasso
2. van gogh
3. marilyn monroe
4. bruce lee
5. einstein
I'm pretty sure that says something about us. Not sure what though.
Bruce Sterling. Long. Very worth it.
"Hi" - Nasty Outlook virus going around. I'm getting hammered with this thing. Here's what to do if you are infected. Well, that plus stop using Outlook Express unless you really know that program well (I mean unless you know how to change all the massively insecure defaults - not showing file extensions of downloaded files!!! Automatically executing them!!! - that Microsoft ships this thing with.)
The stars must be lined up or something. I really got a lot done today. I was fortunate enough to have eight straight hours to spend in the code, and I now have the complete system in my head just like back when I wrote it. Except this time I'm rested enough to actually do battle with all the little inconsistencies I just let go the first time around following the "good enough" engineering principle (or is that the "can't see it from my house" building principle?) Anyway, there were some serious inconsistencies which I believe are now worked out. Phew. I love working on this thing.
I'll explain the changes tomorrow over here.
We've been talking about Segway over here if you're wondering why I haven't mentioned it.
