On a small copper plaque on the El Camino Real freeway:
Battle of Santa Clara
On January 2, 1847, somewhere hereabouts was fought the last northern battle of the Mexican war. The official casualty report: “dead none, wounded none, missing but one on the American side and he came up shortly afterwards stating that he had been searching for his ramrod which in the excitement he had forgotten to draw from his gun and fired at the enemy”

I’m attempting to return to the point where I enjoy writing. This may involve some work. But then writing for me has always involved a lot of work, ever since – well, ever since I started getting paid for it. You wouldn’t believe how much I struggle over even a few sentences, and often for very little obvious improvement. I truly envy people like Avedon Carol and Richard Kadrey who can write beautifully coherent arguments online at terrifying speed, before logging off and doing their real, paid, writing work.
I’m presuming a little. Maybe they fret as much. Prose appears fully formed, ex nihilo, with no clear idea of how it forms. Except in IRC. I remember being very disturbed when I watched over the shoulder of somebody I knew on IRC, regularly spilling out complete sentences into a channel at a speed I can’t even think at, let alone write.

The following is an analysis of a worst case virulence for a computer worm, using existing mechanisms and a modified infection strategy. Such a “Warhol Worm” could infect every vulnerable machine in a 15 minute time period, outpacing human defense. It is important to understand the possible threat, in order to develop better defenses.

Bloody hell, but this weblogging requires requires some discipline.
Today was mostly working on getting a co-loc up and running in London, helping move the Oregon co-loc to a new machine, attending the Sklyarov bail hearing, and finally getting a goddamn backup system running on my home machine.
Wow. Imagine owning a book for a whole semester. What a privilege to be paying for such temporary bounty!
The Steve Ballmer dancing movie we published last Friday has proven to be a bit too popular. Especially, it seems to Mr. 212.110.233.20 , a Russian who is using FlashGet to try and access it five times a second since about 23:50 +0100 last night. It looks like FlashGet completely sucks at understanding 301: Moved Permanently errors.
