The web log without a name

Top -> The web log without a name Dishing up hot, steamy guilt for the left-of-center engineer.
Friday, October 06, 2000 [10/6/2000 12:04:20 PM \| link] I'm not a big fan of sculpture, but Andy Goldsworthy is likely to change that. The piece Wall that went for a walk makes me want to visit upstate New York again. Thursday, October 05, 2000 [10/5/2000 08:50:54 AM \| link] I've added a cascading style sheet to the site. Things may fall apart over the next couple days as I try and move the presentation tags out of the existing HTML. Let me know if things start going to hell in a handbasket on your browser. Wednesday, October 04, 2000 [10/4/2000 06:59:40 PM \| link] You would have thought I'd have found The Progressive Engineer site before. This block of text below is from their intro. It looks like do not cover the software industry (since we are not real engineers, no doubt), but the magazine looks very interesting none-the-less. The magazine prompts engineers to think about what they do by taking a candid look at ethical and philosophical issues engineers face in their careers. Would you (or do you) feel right designing machinery for a tobacco company, defense industry, or meat processor? We're not going to tell you should or shouldn't, just that you ought to think about the consequences and make ethical judgments for yourself rather than trust them to society's norms.

BTW, Ralph is the one on the right in the picture... Tuesday, October 03, 2000 [10/3/2000 02:04:18 PM \| link] Debster was telling me about Living Machines last night, and she was wondering if they might be useful in Baltimore's Inner Harbor . They sound neat, much neater than trash skimmers... She came across it was indexing Yes !. [10/3/2000 12:24:17 PM \| link] I actually received some interesting spam today, from a group called Greenstar. I suspect they either slurped my address from the Viridian mailing list or from the Northern Virginia Greens mailing list. Normally I'd be peeved at getting the spam, but their project looks like something a left-of-center engineer might be interested in. Monday, October 02, 2000 [10/2/2000 07:11:35 PM \| link] And so the delivery is made. Everyone has gone home, and it is finally quiet here. Never having been in a hurricane before, I imagine this is what the eye of the storm feels like. [10/2/2000 02:21:10 PM \| link] Here's a small picture of the woman I love. She is the one with the feathers on the far right. The main page is supposed to be here, but it doesn't look like it's being brougt up correctly. I had to check out the page source to pull off this picture. Sunday, October 01, 2000 [10/1/2000 08:10:42 PM \| link] I added an experimental Atomz search link to the bottom of the page. I know it looks pretty bad, and I haven't had a chance to set the Atomz templates yet to make it look like the rest of the site. I'll get around to it eventually. Another feature I want to add soon is a standard link on the line including the time and "link" line that'll take you to the site that gave me the idea for posting the link. I haven't found way to get a user-editable link in that line yet though. [10/1/2000 07:13:14 PM \| link] Hey, at least things where I work aren't as bad as this: "There's always been an anarchist technophile drug-use thing that seems to go together," said Josh Fishman, a 26-year-old New York programmer who has tried speed and "extra" doses of his Ritalin prescription to help make deadlines or conquer code-writing challenges. Damn, I can't imagine taking Ritalin, much less getting hopped up on it. No, I only do things like lock myself out of the office on a Sunday afternoon, with my wallet and car keys stuck in the office, so I have to walk the three miles to my apartment. Don't tell anyone, but I think it was just my unconscience telling me it was time to r-e-l-a-x a little.	Common Sources Follow me here ...
