Great stuff at lgf: "How dare those Israeli oppressors prevent the Palestinians from acquiring 50 tons of illegal offensive weapons! I guess this tends to undercut Arafat’s claim that the whole thing is an Israeli plot."

Also via lgf, Crazed Palistinian Gunman angered by stereotypes.

Finally, sorry I'm taking all your links, but a great article from the Washington Post, It All Points to Arafat: "The evidence is close to overwhelming that the Karine A mission was financed and organized at the highest levels of the Palestinian Authority, most likely sanctioned by Arafat himself -- and that Arafat allowed the mission to proceed after he called for cessation of all armed actions against Israel on Dec. 16."

Oh, and by the way. He also uses a homegrown PHP weblog, similar to mine, although his is cooler That's right, homegrown is the way to go. "Roll your own", I always say.

Haha, DNS is really funky. I was on my site (at my new hosting provider) posting a weblog entry. I closed my browser, opened it up again, and found myself at my site at my old host. Closed my browser, back at new host. Twice more back at old host and now again back at the new host. Silly.

I just remembered. Now that I have my schedule for this coming semester finalized, I can post it here So...

Here's my schedule for my spring 2002 semester at Rutgers. I listed the assembly language course separately because that course is at NJIT. I'm signed up for the middle time slot out of the three at the bottom there.

Interesting stuff on Adam Curry's weblog. Check out Blog to the Future and its sequel, Blog II the Future, which resulted in an online calendar. I didn't get it at first, and I'm not sure I totally do yet (but it's about 5 in the morning, so I won't be too hard on myself). Basically, from what I get, it started as a way to post future blog entries, then he realized that if you make the future blog entries viewable by the world you can have an online calendar, and then ran with that. Although because they started out as blog entries, and because it's integrated into Frontier, you can get your calendar available as RSS. See Gang Blogging for the latest.

Jeez, I just spent hours working on my new task manager, basically just improving my "filtering", so that it's totally customizable. My main goal was to be able to represent the default filtering (what you get if you don't specify anything) with the filter form. I suppose I'll have to give a screenshot for it to make any sense... well, you can't see all my tasks... so never mind. Wow I'm rambling, time to go to bed.

As a side note, for some reason it seems like, while writing this program, writing complex filtering clauses in sql (I want only the tasks that either don't have a date or have a date where the notify date is either null or within X days of today and the priority is X and the task isn't complete or was completed today or yesterday) was harder for me than writing huge, monstrous joins like I used to do on a daily basis. I don't know whether I'm rusty or whether the joins were just easier.
