Updated Postnuke to version 7.03 today, and it seems to have fixed a couple issues (like the poll sql error). Tell me if anything seems broken.

Distributed computing:

Lots of these things out there. Ones to help cure cancer and other things. But of current interest is this one which helps to evaluate drug treatment of Anthrax victims. Seems worthwhile. You can download the client here.

Saturday the weather was nice (mid 50’s) so I took my bike out and rode it for a couple hours. It was fun, but I came back shivering, and I’ve been sneezing, coughing, and generally feeling like crap today. Oh well.

From the current NOTW:

Cute Couple

Albuquerque Metro judge Barbara Brown was temporarily suspended in November after she and an ex-boyfriend were charged by police with throwing rocks at a Cash Mart check-cashing store that had refused to grant Judge Brown a loan, on the ground that she hadn’t yet paid off a previous loan. The ex-boyfriend, Richard “Dickie” Hone, who in post-charge interviews with Albuquerque Journal reporters, implied that the charges would eventually amount to nothing because he would lean on the clients of his sports and entertainment agency, including Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson and others familiar with his humanitarian work, such as Nelson Mandela, boxing’s Don King, former energy secretary Bill Richardson, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. (Journal reporters contacted several of those people, but no one recognized Hone.) [Albuquerque Journal, 12-6-01, 12-19-01]
