Reality check 
Over there
| | Okay, my Linux Journal cruise blog is now live. This week it's in Moveable Type. We'll be experimenting with other systems over the coming weeks. The main context is a story I'm working on with David Sifry for the March 2003 issue. |
| | Blogging will run a bit thin until I get past tonight's keynote. |
Corkage
| | Still learning how to blog from sea. |
| | The connection from here is 240/84kb down/up this morning. I'm alone in the Library at 5:30am, preparing for my keynote this evening. Between now and then, a journey into Cozumel. |
| | The connection logs off automatically after a certain amount of idle time. This is a good thing, since customers are charged by the minute. The little logout window, however, keeps counting down. This bothered me at first, but I realized after some experimentation that the counting down doesn't really count. When I log back in, it rolls back up to the time remaining at timeout/logout. Nice. |

Sounds like you're using an inmarsat account.
Sniper 13 shut down Washington this morning. Everything was closed tight. How about traffic reporters not allowed to tell you where the roadblocks were? Or traffic cams not allowed to cover certain areas? Or TV stations traffic copters not allowed to photograph areas where the roads were litteraly stopped. That's what happened here this am. Martial law without the troops.
The U 21 was up over the beltway this am.

What hell.
Is anybody suggesting this might be an Al Qaeda thing? It's suitably perverse and terrifying.

Hi Doc,
Off topic here, but didn't know where to attach it.
I'm new to your site and I'm generally with you on most stuff. I saw your name signed to an open letter to FCC Secretary Powell about letting the foundering telcoms die. I wonder if you could expand on your reasoning behind this, other (I hope) than simple laissez faire idealogy. I'm not an economist, but seems to me there's an idea out there (Don Norman, The Invisible Computer where I saw it first) that infrastructure naturally tends toward monopoly (self-reinforcing effect of standards adoption, e.g. Windows) and that such monopolies ought to be accepted and heavily regulated.
