Try out Windows 2000 without the download! Quite fun. (Does it look as good on a Mac?) (Thanks Remco Brink.)

So what's the deal with the Web Log Word Count Index, anyway? The thing doesn't seem to properly handle blogs in frames, for one, although it seems to work in some cases. And most people don't keep all of their blog entries on the first page anyhow, so the messy ones get a higher score than the well-organized ones? My score is only 1079, but I've written much more than that! Not a very good measure of the quality of a we blog, if you ask me...

...And the word occurrence counts make the page too long: the words are listed twice, once in order of occurrence and again alphabetically. A 3MB file! Sheesh! [Update: It seems he's split it into multiple files now.]

Well folks, that'll do it for the year. I'll be checking my email, and I might throw up a thing or two if I run across something, but that's pretty much it until Jan 1, 1900. Until then...
