I’m in the middle of upgrading to WordPress version 1.5. One thing I’ve noticed immediately is how well my comment spam plugins were working, because for the few minutes I had them disabled, I get flooded with spam.

I think one of the hardest things to convey in electronic communication (e-mail, blogging, etc.) - or maybe any written communication for that matter - is humility.
It goes without saying that you think that your own opinion is correct; otherwise it wouldn’t be your opinion. But it seems that even if you frequently go out of your way to explain that you’re completely open to changing and/or reconsidering your opinions on any issue, you still come off as an arrogant bastard if you try to write about something serious.
And it doesn’t help when you avoid using smilies either.

In case you were wondering.

I don’t think I can put it any better than Martha did in her post today, so go read it there for the details. I’ll just add that I’m also thankful for the prayers and support that have been offered during this time.
One insightful comment Greg made tonight during conversation, as we reflected on the printed list before us of friends and family dealing with difficult medical situations in our community, was that prayer is something we are compelled or forced towards doing (especially, it seems in this season), not some optional thing that we “choose” to do when we feel like it.
This rings true for me personally, and I’m sure probably others as well. As much as life’s difficulties suck, I would bet that if we were somehow spared all those difficulties that most of us would be pretty distant from God.

I’m debating with myself on whether I should release the Kiosk Browser as open source software (probably on sourceforge.net) or whether I should hold off and possibly try to make some money off of it.
What do you think?

The shiny new version of the Kiosk Browser is now available for download.
This was originally announced here, and I recently posted (here) about some bugs which allowed the users to break out of the kiosk mode restrictions.
Now that those are all fixed, the new app is ready for another round of testing. That’s where you, the loyal readers of this blog come in, and try it out (if you’re interested). I’m specifically looking to see whether anyone can “get out” of the kiosk mode when all the restrictions are enabled.
Also, Dan: this is ready to be installed on the Bridge kiosks whenever you get the chance.

EU sees no chance US to accept international court - Reuters
BRUSSELS, Feb 16 (Reuters) - The United States will never accept a newly established International Criminal Court and the European Union should recognise that and seek practical solutions, the bloc’s foreign policy chief said on Wednesday.
“I don’t think we’re going to make any progress. The sentiments are very profound in the United States, that fellow citizens cannot be judged by a court that is not American,” Javier Solana told Reuters in an interview.

and Dan is giving me crap about not posting, I guess I have to write something.
Since I need a subject, I think maybe I’ll talk about how I probably have a higher posts/day average than Dan over the last several months. Ha ha - I would go and research it, but I don’t have the time right now.
