A couple of lingering problems. I was sure I had the back link thing filtering out links back from the same page (I don't want it recording back links originating on my own page.) But this doesn't seem to be the case now. I'll get that sorted this week.

My friends from Montana arrive today. I'm very excited. The timing of everything is working out so well. I've been very busy finishing things, and now they arrive just as I am ready to pick my head up, switch gears, and take a long look around. I think Frank was here once before when I did that. In fact, I think that's what started me back into computers in the summer of '99. I wonder what's next.

David McCusker did mention me today, and now it seems that my last name is out. I guess I sort of like that. I wish I could be more revealing about my home life like he is. It's very interesting to read. If it was a book I would be staying up late to see what happens with Lisa and the Taekwondo studio. As this isn't the case MB and I stayed up late finishing Return of the King. This was her first time through. It's great to read out loud.

Finally put the new back end on the other site. Now, if I'm correct, I'm not going to build this project again (this is the third full revision.) I'm going to take a little break from scripting. And then I'm going to try a different project. I don't know what it is yet.

I'll still be here though.

David McCusker is taking note of back links as well (although not mine.) I hope this keeps getting talked about. I want more people to integrate this into their blogging software. Come on, it's not hard. Expose your referers! Now that we pretty much have ease of use in terms of publishing, this is the single largest enabler of the grand conversation.

I won't pretend I didn't have some hand in him noticing, but David Weinberger wrote a nice summary of my reference logging feature (which I should probably just call 'back links' since thats what other people working on similar things seem to be calling it.) Anyway, I am a huge fan of his so this makes me quite happy. Thanks.

Go buy his new book. That will probably make him happy.
