Jeremy from AGN3D is ill, and is currently still in the hospital, and his condition sounds serious. Josh from over there tells me he will pass along any well wishes that are sent along, so I'd like to urge any who are so inclined to please take a moment to send along "a get well soon" to lift his spirits. I like to believe these things can help.

Things are (thankfully) settled down on the build an NT machine project that's disrupted my days lately. Well, not exactly, since Tropical Storm Floyd prevented the delivery of my CPUs, but at least today's chapter in that saga didn't once again involve me abandoning loony to wander plaintively from store to store asking for unstocked merchandise (though it certainly is another blow to immediate gratification). BTW, speaking of Floyd, I misidentified the then-Hurricane as Hugo at one point yesterday, thanks to all who wrote in with the correction.

Link of the Day: THE REGISTER Lav me tender, lav me true. Thanks Dennis Anderson and Ant. The applications for geeks are countless.
