8. August, 2002 - Is it war yet?
- There's a report in The Guardian (among other places) about commercial satellite photos of the recent expansion of a US airbase in Qatar. The actual are available online from Global Security [Jim]
- Hmm. Dave Winer was Singin' in the Rain (the initial post is gone now, but I have a snapshot). I bet he's got a happy feeling going on. But when I see the lyrics, I don't think of Gene Kelly. I think of Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange, kicking the stuffing out of someone. Not the same feeling at all, is it? [scripting]
- I've tweaked my Archives a bit. Now the monthly view gives you all the days in an expanded form, rather than collapsed. It'll make the monthly views a lot slower to load, but you'll actually be able to see everything. I'm also adding a "last month" link to the bottom of all the monthly archives so you can move back in time more easily. I haven't figured out if I'm going to do "yesterday/tomorrow" links on each day's archive, but it's a possiblity.
- Pirated Sites!! Not just a single page, like happened to me (and still got found fairly quickly), but entire sites. [zeldman]
- Internet attack fizzles after dramatic warning from FBI, but then even looking at their warning, I don't see what the big deal is. People trying to hack websites is a daily thing. [strib]
- The Warholiser, put together by the Modern Tate in London, will give you your fifteen minutes of fame. [zeldman]
- A woman's debit card gets stolen and she ends up a couple hundred pounds richer. The thief bet on the horses with the stolen card and won, and the victim gets to keep the money, which was deposited back to her account. [fark!]
- The North Pole's moving to Russia. It's had it with Canada and has moved something like 500 miles in the past 50 years. [fark!]
