We live in a house built in 1920. One of the finest homes of that era still standing in our town.
But, like many homes of that era in the US, some of the main systems have been neglected since the house was built. One of these has been insulation.
Mission accomplished.
It was a dirty, nasty job, but now it is done.
And we used the coolest stuff to do it — Ultra-Touch COTTON Insulation.
No full body hazmat suit required with this stuff. You can put it up with your bare hands.
Warm and comfy, here we come.

…when it’s released. [here]
Now, if I had any sort of pull, Yahoo would have let me know when this relase was going to happen so I could be prepared and begin monitoring immediately.
Eh, what am I thinking? I am a mere flea out here — no chance of any advance heads up from Yahoo. They are too busy catching up to Google, and beating Microsoft off their heels to notice little ol’ us out here.
I will add the standard measurement from Yahoo blog search as soon as I hear about it.

I went to David Allen’s GTD Roadmap seminar here in Boston yesterday. Frankly, it was the best 10 hours of my life in a very long time. Great speaker, re-affirming content, and amazing folks in attendance.
Kudos to the David Allen team for putting together a great day!
You should see my list of Next Actions.

A colleague in Germany forwarded me this interesting Microsoft knowledgebase article.

Internet Explorer May Lose the First 2,048 Bytes of Data That Are Sent Back from a Web Server That Uses HTTP Compression
This appears to only happen if another program registers (Real8 Download is the example given in the KB article) to use some of the more obscure Internet Name-Space handlers with Urlmon.dll. These corner cases include rarely used protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.
Also, this only applies if you haven’t bothered to patch your MSIE 6 for like, oh, two years. So, if you have bizarre behaviour with sites that use compression, use that Microsoft Update thingie you may have heard of.

I have a lead on a possible new project. Very exciting, and will build on some of the things I have been developing over the last year or so.
But it will mean changing my dream of a Powerbook to one of a functional Linux laptop.
Any recommendations?

I will be attending the David Allen GTD Roadmap session in Boston tomorrow (September 30, 2005).
Hope to see many Boston GTD freaks there. Should be fun.

Oooohhh! A surprise!
DeLay indicted, steps down as majority leader
I think he should personally be responsible for cleaning up Beaumont, TX.

The Gomez measurement location suffered a mental lockup and system hang at approximately 04:00 EDT (08:00 UTC) this morning. Just figured it out, and the system has been restarted.
Sorry for the lack of data over the last few hours.
And, if you want to host a GrabPERF measurement location, drop me a line.

What more can I add on this?

Found this charming set of entries in my logs this morning.

Apparently the Tower Hill Insurance Group (sent you past their flash entry page) hire folks with not much better to do than fill my logs with stupidity all day.
