Here are a couple films—I mean “movies”—that you might like. I certainly did. Jesus' Son Jesus' Son – Billy Crudup plays "Fuckhead", an almost lovable dufus with a poet's heart and a penchant for heroin. The story follows his unintentional search for sobriety. There are some laugh-out-loud funny moments sprinkled with some harrowing and disturbing bits. Much to like here. No Man's Land No Man's Land – Set on the front lines of the Bosnian-Serb conflict, the movie spends most of its time following 3 men (a Serbian and Two Bosnians) trapped in a trench between the lines ("

Employee Directory Search: Resolving Conflicting Usability Guidelines Finally, an Alertbox that doesn’t completely suck. It’s been a while since Mr. Nielsen has contributed anything worth reading.

Jeremy Zawodny changes his mind and [now recommends]1 FreeBSD over Linux for MySQL applications at Yahoo.

[Robert Daeley noticed]1 I’ve been a little ho hum and suggests playing Enigmo. Good idea, but first I’ll have to dust off the G3 on the floor next to me and lose this silly VAIO. Probably not a bad idea in itself

Guess what, I’ve done it again. I kept waiting for blosxom 1.2 to be released and during that time ran into PHPosxom. PHPosxom (pronounced “possum”) is a blosxom work-a-like written in PHP. Since I love PHP so much I thought I’d give it a whirl. No need to export the blosxom entries since it works exactly the same way. Also, plug-ins are implemented, so you’ll see the calender, category links and

I’ve been using the Synderella RSS aggregator for reading my news. Mostly nice, but I really wanted to be able to organize my growing list of feeds into categories, folders, whatever. Along comes SharpReader, another .NET RSS reader, but with most of the features I like, including categories. Now if I could only get it to open links in Mozilla rather than IE, I’d be happy. Oh, and the threaded

SlashNOT is funny

Saw Tori Amos last night here in town. Every time she’s been here in the past, I’ve told myself that I wasn’t going to miss her show. Then promptly missed her show. Glad I didn’t this time. She has an amazing voice, writes great songs and put on a fine show. Hand me my leather.

This month’s UETips (from uie.com) includes some reasearch notes about categorization on several large e-commerce sites. I’ve included the text of the message… How does a site containing thousands of pages of content get users to the content they seek quickly? There are many different strategies for organizing content on sites and we recently took a hard look at five of them. We’ve been examining several e-commerce sites to see how they handled the problem of categorizing large numbers of products.

It has been suggested (by Rob LeFebvre) that I include a form field in PHPetal for “Author.” I want to carefully consider the pros/cons of adding new fields before implementation. My thought right now is to add the field, but also allow it to be disabled/enabled via a configuration setting. Discuss (quicktopic)

Arnold King writes an [interesting counterpoint]1 to [World of Ends]2 by Searls and Weinberger. He lists 5 clues for geeks. Good ones, too.
