28. February, 2010 - slow month
permalink
I nearly missed posting at all during February. Back in late January I had some server problems. They’re still there, and I’ve been looking for a new home for my blog, with at least two failed attempts so far, so I haven’t wanted to add new content just to have to tear it down later.
In any case, I’ve got a few links, and little news. February is one of the hibernatin’ months, and things have been too busy at work and too slow around home. Soon that’ll change, but for now…
- Back at the beignning of the month: More from Scalzi on the Amazon/Macmillan battle: All The Many Ways Amazon So Very Failed the Weekend. Yeah, Amazon was full of fail that weekend. Now the dust seems to have settled, but frankly I just haven’t been following it. Or buying from Amazon. [boing boing]
- From Wired: 100 Quotes Every Geek Should Know. I don’t know that all of them are essential, but it’s still a good enough list.
- Derek Lowe has a list of Things I won’t work with. Oh man, is it funny, even if you’re not a chemist.
- A nice little picture: The Great Battle of Sitting and Spitting: Whitney, Texas, 1949. Officiousness defeated.
