DSR: what do you call a person who craves s*x? If you're going to search for it, search for the actual word!

The other day I saw a truck of the "Steven Gould Corporation". They do packaging material, apparently.

Steve Ballmer is Jewish, apparently. I didn't know that!

For some reason there are a lot of boats in the bay today. I don't know why. Maybe they're dredging for a body?

Multiple inheritance for Java. Motto: "The net interprets any arbitrary design decision as damage, and routes around it.", or possibly "Information wants to be subject to Nixon's triangle."

Test of timezone fix.

Test of better time zone system.

Excellent! NewsBruiser (my local copy; it's not in CVS yet) can now have a timezone set for each notebook. Can't really do anything about the SSI includes at the bottom, without using a timezone-setting wrapper script. Which I will now write.

OK, that takes care of the script. Funny how little things can annoy you for years and then you take a little time to fix them and they're gone and not annoying you anymore.

I fixed NewsBruiser searching, and added to the bottom of every page a site-wide search that uses Google. I'm not sure whether or not Google wants a logo or anything on all public-facing forms that use Google. I can't find anything on their site that says they do, and after all, they get to do whatever they want with the search results.

I still haven't fixed the big thing, which is the rather obvious fact that these entries are timestamped EST and I'm on NST.
