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.)
Pictures from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, New York City and Washington DC.
These are only pictures from my camera, and not all of them yet. Some of the captioning may be wrong/mispelled/just bad, but I'll just correct things as I go along.
Thank you. All of you. I had such a great time. It will take me a while to process it all, and I do hope to get to write about everything, eventually. I feel so lucky.
Going back in time...You'll All Pay #26 is up.
Tough to beat #27...so I didn't.

Will go to F2F with this and email with this as well, but my signing/reading event at Barnes and Noble, University Village, is official for Halloween weekend. Laura Stretchenback is asking which night I'd prefer. I'm thinking the Saturday night (30 October). In any event, I want to schedule it so that the maximum number of people show up (obviously!) and also to maybe rock the B&N with a nice gothy little party, which Laura would probably love.
I need to confirm this with both the store and my publicist, so if people could e me with what date they'd prefer, I can get this set up ASAP.
Thanks!
