So I’m going to be home most of the day today. Aside from managing the Senior Project, I also need to write a 20-page paper on why Apple Computer is best-in-class in the PC industry, and coordinate some DNS changes for an application for work.

Speaking of, anyone know how long it takes your average DNS to propagate (I know worst-case is 48 hours)?

Asa Dotzler was kind enough to provide some linkage to my commentary on the Mozila project. Thanks, Asa.

I realized that when I was looking at my site statistics today that all this time I was looking at the wrong numbers. Apparently, I was reading my average daily visitors as my total visitors for the month. Then I realized how many visitors were coming in per month. Wow. I also just noticed that we’re running at about half-capacity with our monthly bandwidth. Looks like I’ll be looking for ways to slim the site down a little bit.

PlugSocket rules. I asked them this morning why the search feature on Our Story wasn’t working. Two hours later: boom!—fixed. They also apologized for the patch they installed that caused the regression. Heh, that’s okay. It could have been a lot worse.

Apple computer is hiring. They want a senior engineer to build the new iTunes application for windows. Very interesting—I thought that they would have already been in development for this. I wonder if the Music Service feature will also employ a KHTML web core as Apple’s Safari does now. Speaking of Apple, they’ve managed to make the iPod even more desirable. I could look at this page (scroll down for full effect) and drool all day.

I messed with “the brand” today. Blogrollers should (hopefully) notice that our site title doesn’t overflow to two lines, now.

Decision-making seems to be a common theme in my thoughts lately. Every new thought, after being thought about, turns to the “decision-making” meme in my head and asks, “How do I apply to you, decision-making meme?”

Decision-making meme says back, “You are a metaphor for me. Link us together in the brain, for we will be stronger if we join forces, and you will get a percentage of the attention that I receive from the other thoughts who have joined me in the past.”

And I go, “Shut up, you guys, I’m trying to go to sleep.”

- Eric Benson, decision making. Eric seems like a pretty interesting guy. I’d read more, but I have to finish this %&#@ paper.

Via email from Nathan Oostendorp (who wrote this), Everything2 has an RDF feed of top 10 creative writing picks for the day. Sweet.

When, oh when, will MovableType feature Trackback checking to see if you’ve already pinged another site? Mark and Asa now have multiple trackbacks for this blog.

Ugh. Too much distraction. No more wireless internet today.
