6. February, 2002 - Twins to play in 2002 - software fun
- I think yesterday's illness was a case of me just being Too Damned Tired. After complaining about it yesterday, I got out, went downtown and picked up my new glasses, got groceries on the way home, and was feeling good enough to consider grabbing a happy-hour beer somewhere. Then I got a real night's sleep, and I'm feeling pretty good today, except for the part of having lost a day of work on a project that shows every sign of being long and brutal.
- Supreme Court rejects Twins appeal, which means there's almost certainly going to be major league baseball in Minneapolis this coming summer. [strib]
- Selig: No teams will be cut in 2002. So the Twins are safe for another year. [strib]
- Vivísimo is a clustering search engine that a reader recommended. Similar to a meta-search engine, but different.
Best search tool I've since since I first found google.
I haven't had a chance to look at it much m'self.
- Daily CSS Fun. The same site with a different style-sheet for each day of the month of February. Cool. [zeldman]
- Your typical open source hacker isn't a pimply faced teenager But rather (according to a recent SourceForge survey) someone trapped in a cubicle all day and looking for a creative outlet. Which is another sign of most tech companies being pretty screwed up. If your programmers are bored enough that they're taking on additional outside projects, you might want to consider making things more interesting for 'em. [Reed]
- The first annual Google Programming Contest gives you a chance to write some cool software that will churn through their data. [daypop]
- Look Ma, No Hat! It appears the big story about AOL trying to buy RedHat was another case of a journalist just makin' shit up. It's a bit of a shame it took this long for people to fact check his ass. I'm with the instapundit on the fact that this is one of the good things that amateur journalists can do for (or to) the professionals. [cam]
