Reality check

Marc reminds us of what happened during the last intra-California world series.

Over there

Okay, my Linux Journal cruise blog is now live. This week it's in Moveable Type. We'll be experimenting with other systems over the coming weeks. The main context is a story I'm working on with David Sifry for the March 2003 issue.

Blogging will run a bit thin until I get past tonight's keynote.

Corkage

Still learning how to blog from sea.

The connection from here is 240/84kb down/up this morning. I'm alone in the Library at 5:30am, preparing for my keynote this evening. Between now and then, a journey into Cozumel.

The connection logs off automatically after a certain amount of idle time. This is a good thing, since customers are charged by the minute. The little logout window, however, keeps counting down. This bothered me at first, but I realized after some experimentation that the counting down doesn't really count. When I log back in, it rolls back up to the time remaining at timeout/logout. Nice.
