Buffistas.org will be going dark tomorrow (Saturday) morning, 8:55am board time for scheduled maintenance. It may be down a few hours. Please be patient, and tip your waitress.
The High Hat Labor Day Supplement is online, with a feature by our very own Lyra Jane.
Speaking of, Lyra Jane, please email me when you get a chance. Thanks! Happy holiday, y'all!
I have a request for info: I have a cousin in Maryland who fears her very premature infant son may have cerebral palsy. She's trying to be proactive and find a gifted physical therapist to work with him -- she's willing to drive to DC and Baltimore also.
If you do know of any therapists, or tips for where she should look, please contact me at my profile address.
Thanks.
Hurricane pictures, hastily compiled...
Ugh. What a cleanup job.
If I shouldn't post this here, please let me know and I'll delete. I'm working in collaboration with these scientists, and hope to even one day use the data they're collecting, so I know for sure that this is a serious request.
How does the Internet look like? How does it evolve?
DIMES is a new academic research project founded by the European Union that aims at answering such questions. For this end, we are asking the general public to volunteer and download a light agent that will perform network measurement at very low rates. Our code is open source and does not reveal any information about the hosting machine. We currently support MS Windows, and plan a Linux porting soon.
Aside from helping science, running the DIMES agent also provides you with maps of how the Internet looks from your home or office (currently) and will (in the future) provide you with a personalized 'Internet weather report' and other user-focused features.
To download the agent please point to [link]
We are very enthusiastic about DIMES and hope for your collaboration.
Please feel free to forward the above DIMES link to anyone who might be interested in the project.
Best regards,
The DIMES team
Given how many Buffistas are TiVo and/or NetFlix enthusiasts:
Later this month Tivo will allow Netflix customers to download movies over the Internet.
I received an email today, with an attachment that said it would deal with potential viruses.
Beware!!!
I put these in Bitches first, but it seems like some other people are putting their Nilly pics here, so I will too:
Also included, a pic of my Winifred the Echo and Homely-O, the ugliest car known to man. (I had some pictures I had to use up.)
