Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database
table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life.
What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated
with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it
will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun
way to find stuff.

Bill, that's a terrible analogy.
If I ever taught programming, I would set aside an entire class for
making risotto.
If you go to an old-skool barber, sooner or later you get used to
straight-edge razors.
Tomer Hanuka has some fine lines.
Just so no one is confused, Mont Royal and St. Laurent are
perpendicular to one another.
Meanwhile, David "I'm just waiting for my application for U.S.
citizenship to be processed" Frum chastises Americans for not being
Canadians.

Michel Bergeron : "Rien ne va battre la rivalité entre le Canadien
et les Nordiques.
Ça allait au delà des équipes. C'était deux
villes, deux brasseries et des journalistes des deux côtés. Et chaque
équipe comptait 12 ou 13 Québécois dans son alignement. Moi, je ne vois
pas de grosse rivalité aujourd'hui. Le jeu est robuste, mais nous sommes
en séries éliminatoires."

Hunter S. Thompson : "This is going to be a very expensive war, and
Victory is not guaranteed
-- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as
baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the
war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been
chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will
declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody,
no matter where they live or why." via

Michael De La Rue : Schedule::SoftTime.pm
"is a class to implement an `I'll get round to
you when I can be bothered' scheduler. It's based on the queue system in
our banks shops and some doctors I've been to. You turn up any time you
want, but then you have to wait till everyone else who was there before
you has been dealt with. The idea is to let the items being scheduled do
so at any free time they wish and then worry about resource requirements
later. If we can't handle some items when they were scheduled, they just
queue until they can be handled."
Michael Arick : iCal in UML
"The diagrams can be used as a reference guide
for someone starting to develop an application using iCal. More
importantly, however, the diagrams can be used as a minimum requirements
document for developing new protocols to perform internet calendaring"

copy, and delete files as references by string URLs, URI objects or URIs

Bryan Boyer : "Nomadicism is thus no longer lamenting the lack of
Home,
but redefining it altogether. Home as series.
(This makes a rather large assumption that one's aesthetic is influenced
by their Home. I'd like to extend the idea of Home as more than physical
dwelling, but now cultural, spiritual, and geographic locus.)" I'm not
sure I agree with this but I will say that, more and more, not just
having a home but knowing what and where it is is a luxury not to be
overlooked. see also :

connections that otherwise we would not notice."
