The Pledge of Allegiance - Why we're not one nation "under God." [Slate]
Sunday, June 30, 2002 12:48:41 PM (Pacific Standard Time, UTC-08:00) ( Journal )
After getting my haircut and doign some shopping, I was itching to get some exersize, so I hopped on my bike and rode around the neighborhood. In the park over at the end of the camwest development is access to a trail that rides along the side of the hill, I continued far enough on the trail to reach a high point that had a picnic area and an overview. From there I could access an area that will contain new home development next to the golf course. It looks like paradise for a mountain biker.

Well... I've did it, I've bought my first home. It was probably one of the more stressfull experiences of my life and I'm glad that my problems are reducing back down to the normal day to day things. Last Saturday was spent packing and some of Tim's movie shooting. Sunday I went down to UHaul in Renton, and got thier biggest truck, only to discover it was a manual... and I don't know how to drive manual. So Pam drove it to the QFC near the appartment, and we let Matthias drive it up to the final hill, and to the house after loading it. A lot of folks came out to help me move, and It was a really good feeling to have that type of help. Monday was spent unpacking and setting some things up. Tuesday was spent moving left over stuff. Unfortunatly there was too much stuff still, so wensday I rented another truck (smaller and automatic) to move the remaining things. Thursday I finsihed up my review, and Friday I got back into sync with work.

WebMatrix (nee Saturn) finally shipped! Congrats to the ASP.NET team for producing a kick-ass IDE for ASP.NET - I love how it is more fully-featured than VS.NET in some regards (as in it has web service-specific wizards, an FTP browser, community integration and more). [Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog]

Review Time.
It's review time at Microsoft again.  Is it just a coincidence that I used the thesaurus 5 times today?  For more information about Microsoft's review process, check out Joel Spolsky's comments on incentive, or my rant on HTP. Better Living Through Software]

ugh.. my review still isn't done :(

Security warning too quick for comfort?. Internet Security Systems, which published a security advisory for the Apache Web server, said it did the right thing by moving early. But critics say the company jumped the gun. [CNET News.com]

The article raises two problems, the classic how long to wait to go public, and who gets notified when the project is open source.

MSNBC has an article about why software is bad, and while I agree with a lot what's being said, something things are just incorrect. The author constantly interchanges security issues with bugs, and doesn't talk at all about bug severity; yes, we, software engineers often decided not to take a perf improvement, or change some confusing ui right before RTM, but that doesn't mean that crashes or data loss bugs will get punted. The piece describing the event loop seemed completely useless. The componentization explanation is weak, and is horribly applied to Gates’ court testimony. Also disappointingly, the article doesn’t go how software QA is done what so ever. It would have also been nice to contrast the difference between how code is written for NASA and code is written for a consumer.

Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS [Slashdot]

The Story here is that they are advertizing it as compatable with windows applications, which it doesn't do a great job doing, so the end result is a really negative impression of linux in the general community. Other comments remark on Walmart having the "power" to stand up against Microsoft.
