Had an excellent week offline, even though the weather was less than optimal. Most days I’d stand on the porch of the beach house, and stare into a white wall of fog. Not exactly beach-centric weather, but ideal for hunkering down and getting some reading done.
And Gamecube. Lots of Gamecube.
Anyway, quite a bit seems to have happened in the past week. My team here at Harvard has moved into new digs; I’m currently looking out over a spectacular view of Cambridge at the moment, down onto some rooftops that seem to have bowed slightly under years of rainfall. I’ve just gotten my workstation back up, and unpacked most of my books. Here’s to good office karma.
What happened elsewhere while I was away? Well, lessee:
- Jon Udell shows a few XSLT recipes that bring us closer to turning the document into the database,
- Mozilla starts pimping (though the thong scares me),
- Firebird starts rocking harder than ever before (Linux users can now grab XFT-/GTK2-enabled builds),
Blackout 2003
is covered with grace, aplomb, and Josh (respectively) at Scribbling.net, Ftrain, and Fireland,- an excellent demonstration of website accessibility pitfalls has been published by the UK Disability Rights Commission (via Mezzoblue),
- D. Keith Robinson outdoes himself yet again with a stellar new layout and an excellent article evangelizing a switch to Mozilla,
- Joe Clark publishes the definitive guide for ISSN for weblogs,
- The Register gripes (and Winer whines), and
- I signed you all up for a body massage.
The end. Gotta go wade through a few hundred e-mails, and wade through my RSS subscriptions. Hope your weeks treated you well; it’s great to be back.
