I’m leavin’ the afternoon of the 7th on a much-needed vacation to Paris. Yay. My flight leaves Dulles at 7ish, but I’ll be at the airport way early. I want one of those seats by the fire exit, or maybe the bulkhead. The one where you have lots of legroom and you’re all by yourself. …

How random is this? It’s
How random is this? It’s a mention of me, as best I can tell, in the Romanian version of Computerworld. Anybody read Romanian? I’ve found some other randomish links. One about the Forbes interview, and that’s also in Romanian (Scroll down ’til you see my name, and continue to see my name appear in the …
In Wired.
Wow, it looks like I haven’t touched my site for a while, based on the dates on here. But, in reality, I’ve just been updating my cphack page. Anyhow, I’ve got a mention and a little quote in Wired. It’s in Elisa Batista’s 2nd-ever article for Wired, "Vendors Overwhelmed by ‘Love’." (Top of the 2nd …
Peacefire has been served papers
Peacefire has been served papers to stop distributing cpcrack. More mirrors are needed as other mirrors are taken down. Please help.
Eddy Jansson and Matthews Skala’s
Eddy Jansson and Matthews Skala’s cphack program, which exposes the serious problems in Mattel‘s CyberPatrol censorware program, is being cut off. Mattel has filed a federal lawsuit to get the website shut down. So some of us have started to mirror that website in order to keep the program and the information out there. Mattel …
We’ve changed the name of
We’ve changed the name of WAM!design. Now we’re Munk & Phyber. I like it. And it’s not as restraining, image-wise, as WAM!design. Including "design" in the name made people think that we only do design. (I pointed this out to my mother, who said "you do more than design?") Also, WAM!NET probably won’t sue us …
So, I went out to
So, I went out to try and rain on Microsoft’s parade today, as it’s their big release date for Windows 2000. At FeO2 last night, we made a whole mess of RedHat 6.1 discs and printed up liner notes and handbills, as well. We figured we’d go to the stores here in Charlottesville that would …
There’s this company, Epidemic.com, that
There’s this company, Epidemic.com, that lets people attach advertisements to their outgoing e-mail as a way of making money. That way, other people — presumably friends and family — are subjected to ads so that their supposed friend can make money. This smacks of Tupperware parties and Amway. So a little note: If anybody, good …
After long last, there appears to be a real Charlottesville news website.
After long last, there appears to be a real Charlottesville news website. We’ve had The Daily Progress‘s extremely weak attempt at a site for about a year now, and The C-Ville Weekly does what they can, I suppose, but it’s not really a news website. And, to be fair, The Cavalier Daily does a bang-up …

It’s snowing! Here in Virginia,
It’s snowing! Here in Virginia, the last few winters have been awful. Some weeks were downright balmy, and snow has been something to be seen on television, not outside of the window. Well, it snowed last week, just a few inches, and this morning I woke to find 6″ of snow on the ground. This …
