Rob van der Woude’s Scripting Pages is an excellent reference site for everything scripting – including DOS batch files, Perl, Rexx, and WSH. Lots of examples, which makes it all the better.
From the EFF’s web site:
He’s wrong.
Right now, under the Supreme Court’s ruling in Sony v. Universal (the Betamax VCR case), devices like the iPod and CD burners are 100% legal — not because they aren’t sometimes used for infringement, but because they also have legitimate uses. The Court in Sony called these “substantial non-infringing uses.” This has been the rule in the technology sector for the last 20 years. Billions of dollars and thousands of jobs have depended on it. Industries have blossomed under it. But the Induce Act would end that era of innovation. Don’t let this happen on your watch – tell your Senators to fight the Induce Act!
What a way to start the week…
A hospital reported the latest case to the city, which in turn alerted Quiznos after learning the patient worked at the 74 Summer St. franchise.
Although rarely fatal, hepatitis A causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and fatigue. The virus has a 15-day incubation period.
Sure enough, I ate there on June 17th. I guess I’ll be dropping trou’ for an innoculation.

From the May Day Mystery web site:
The solution to solving the puzzle lies within unraveling a series of complex, detailed, and interwoven pages that are printed every May 1st in the Arizona Daily Wildcat, the student run newspaper on the University of Arizona Campus.
Information from Microsoft on the latest Windows exploit. Oy.
Interesting entry on Dare Obasanjo’s blog regarding Microsoft’s decision to not support XSLT 2.0 or XPath 2.0 in the next release of the .NET framework. Instead, they’re switching to XQuery.
Finally got myself a much-coveted GMail account. Too bad I had to cheat and buy one off of eBay ($0.99).
For some reason I feel like a better man now.
Donald, Donald, Donald…you bring shame to UNIX geeks everywhere. And I’ll bet your web site will bring a restraining order to you some day, too.
The Countdown to Hermione Granger’s 18th birthday
(shudder)
jarnot.com has moved from a spare PIII 500 in my basement to 1&1 Hosting. I feel like I’ve grown up. 
I just need to find some spare time to rewrite my kludgy PHP wrapper around MovableType. Until then, I’m using a bare-bones install of MT.
We’re now running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3.0 at work. I’m in the process of setting up Bugzilla, which needs MySQL. I went to access MySQL (which I know was installed during the initial OS install) and lo and behold – no mysqld. All of the client apps are there, but no server. Damn…
Anyways, after poking around the Web for a bit, I found out that the server is not installed by default (stupid). AND, to top it off, the mysql-server package is not part of the base OS – instead it’s available via the Extras channel on RedHat Network.
So, to get it installed, I had to log into RHN, add the “Extras” channel to my subscripion list, and the use up2date to install by typing up2date mysql-server.
Now it’s there.
Dumb.
Dumb.
Dumb.
