Speaking of work, I've been going back and forth with the CMS developers to see if they can automate the conversion of things like á into text for article titles, because we post a lot of French material. I just received the following email from one of the developers:

I'm working with our developers now to try simplifying the French letter problem.

Because books.

There's going to be a sequel to Wall Street?

It's all a plot.

So there have been a few dustups in various neighborhoods, with people doing variations on a huff & flounce, and then I read this [link] in the Sun's dining blog and....yeah, I definitely think a case of neighborhood crazy is rising to the surface lately.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nice outfit!

A podcast I found sort of fun.

Memories of the Futurecast. It's Wil Wheaton (aka Wesley Crusher), reading bits for a book of his about ST:TNG. I can't really remember the episodes, but he gets sort of snarky and stuff.

Yes or no: having to leave for work while it is still mostly dark is worse than having to get up before the sun.

Count me in as one who would rather get up before the sun than leave work after it's dark. Though I do find it HARDER to get out of bed when the sun is still down (once I'm up for the day, though, I'm usually good).
