TMBG:

There’s only one thing that I know how to do well
And I’ve often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And that’s be you,
Be what you’re like,
Be like yourself,
And so I’m having a wonderful time
But I’d rather be whistling in the dark

And on that note, cue the roundup:

  • Via Hack the Planet, RFCola: “We describe a market mechanism for providing incentive for the review of IETF documents. Reviewers would be “paid” by the IESG to for their reviews. In turn, document authors would need to “pay” the IESG to take up their documents. This mechanism rewards reviewers for their reviews, thus (hopefully) increasing the quantity and quality of reviews.”
  • Guido Speaks at O’Reillynet: “Also I will have time carved out in my regular work week to work on Python. So I’m pretty hopeful that once the dust of the move has settled, say in mid-August or so, I will have enough time for Python.”
  • Rob Flickenger wonders exactly how secure your wireless network is.  I’ve got more to say on this, but I’ll save that for later.
  • Mono 0.26 is out.  New in this release is Cairo support, Corba remoting, and sports a managed XSLT engine.  This release also boosts Windows.Forms, compilation speeds, web services, and other goodies.  Scan the release notes for more.
  • Someone give Sean Bonner a job, mmkay?
  • This hot microbe can survive heat at 121 Celcius.  Wow!
  • Was it a lightning strike that cause the power outage?
