Haiti update: although I don't yet have enough facts to decide which side I'm on (Aristide's or the rebels'), I do think it's cool that Guy Philippe checks the Internet everyday for his news.

I've been reading a lot in the past few days about The Semantic Web and it's origins in RDF (Resource Description Framework). Good stuff. I've thought about this type of problem in the past, just didn't know that it had a name and that people were already working to solve it.   =)

WindowsXP 'Internet Connection Firewall' (ICF), if used with XP Professional on a network with a managed Symantec antivirus server, prohibits the antivirus server from contacting the client computer to deliver updates. Bad, bad ICF!   =(   UPDATE: come to find out, Microsoft is very clear about the fact that ICF should not be used with networks. Hmmm, maybe we should start reading a bit more instead of experimenting, huh...?

The problem with some hosting control panels (like cPanel X), is that they don't allow you enough options, like modifying 'A' or 'CNAME' records. cPanel does, on my host at least, *does* allow you to change 'MX' records, but not the other DNS record types.

The Fat Fiancé Finale Friday night was pretty good (how's that for some alliteration). The added twist at the end was great. I'm just glad that everything worked out for Randi and her family, in the end.

I can't say I'm terribly impressed with midPhase's webhosting services, at least as far as their tech support goes (I can't complain about their prices, however, as you can get 5 GB (yes, gigabytes) of disk space for only $27/mo!). We found the "One Hour Parking" cache on Saturday, along with the KR1216 and KR1217 benchmarks, but couldn't find KR1215.
