I'm going to try and suspend my disbelief

long enough to imagine that he means well, but I find John Robb's relabeling of a real-time black box as a "weblog" to be shockingly callous and opportunistic. see also : U.S. Is Expecting to Spend $1 Billion a Month on War

LGF : "One of the cool things about freedom of speech

is that it allows the idiots to show us who they are." Indeed, if you read between the lines of the First Amendment you'll see that it is all just an elobarate and cleverly disguised trick to make people divulge their true intentions. These are not the droids you're looking for. But now, alas, in a fit of pique you've gone a ruined for the rest of Us by spilling the beans and letting Them know who's really on first (no pun intended). Seriously folks, get a fucking grip...

John Kricfalusi : "[The hippies] questioned everything that was good about progress and technology, and destroyed Western civilization,

as far as I'm concerned. Culture is dead, and has been since the mid-'60s, when the dirty hippies took over. And now corporate thought--you'd think corporations would be a purely American product of progress and capitalism, but they're not. Not any more. Now corporations are run by ex-hippies, people who go to retreats and beat drums in the woods and bury themselves up to their necks and have Indians piss on them. Can you believe all this crazy stuff? They've taken over everything! It's creative people, and scientists, philosophers and inventors that move the world. Those are the people that you need--everyone else is a follower. But they've stopped that. All those human endeavours that used to perpetuate themselves and drag the world along with them, they're all run by corporations now--which are run by ex-hippies. They stop creativity, they don't allow it to happen." Happy happy. Joy joy. \

"We are a vegetarian restaurant,

organic as much as possible. We have no menu as there is only one meal available per evening. There are three sizes to choose from: regular, reduced and kid-sized. We have a few rules that you must know. You order only what you can eat. If you do not finish everything on your plate, you will be fined two dollars, which we will match and give to a charity. Also, you will get no dessert. If you do not finish your dessert you will be banished from the restaurant and never be allowed to return."

Dave Pawson : DocBook FAQ

"This is a collation of some Frequently Asked questions regarding Docbook. The initial focus will be on the XML version of the DTD, and the XSLT based stylesheets. Over time I may add faq's for SGML and DSSSL. I will need help there though! I doubt if its possible to keep up with the latest revision of the stylesheets, so please excuse me (and let me know) if you find content that is out of date." Authored by the excellent fellow who brought us XSLT Questions and Answers.

Did Aaron think anything about that?

I finally got out the duct tape and put the enough of the search widget in place to make it (mostly) usuable again.
