A couple test entries are coming up; Josh Lucas sent me some code to make NewsBruiser notify the
weblogs.com aggregator when a new entry is added to a notebook. I properly productized it and am now in the testing stage.

That worked; this should actually do the update.

Woohoo! Now I have to doc it and do a new NB release. I wish I had a CVS tree here.

OK, the official
NewsBruiser 1.0 release is
out! Enjoy it. I know I will.
Oh, I just noticed this on the weblogs.com site:
Welcome to the meeting place for blogging excellence on the Internet. Any weblog can participate.
That's a strange definition of 'excellence'.

When the sun sets, Crummy Cleanup Day becomes Leonard's Hard Drive Cleanup Night, and as I clean I'm finding all sorts of interesting old stuff. For instance, I found (at long last) the original Nerth Pork robotfindskitten submission. I also found the sample transcript which was the first manifestation of Guess the Verb!. GTV trivia: the original verbs on the wheel were DEFOLIATE, EQUIP, PARTITION, FORGET ABOUT, REFUND, MISALIGN, and UNDO.

More archive stuff, from a story fragment I wrote instead of working on my Wittgenstein paper back in 2000:
[G.E.] Moore was also a great traveller. In his visits to foreign lands he
was often mistaken for someone from the moon. He never understood why this kept happening to him. (Little did he know that he was taking
part in thought experiments created by the German philosopher Ludwig
Wittgenstein.)
