Whoops, a recent hard drive crash destroyed my Radio.root and wiped out my old templates. Just a matter of time I think, but the old HTML was pretty crufty, so I might make a fresh start. I spent the last week using Debian, and particularly a nice distro that boots of cd called Knoppix. It ran just fine on my HP laptop, autodetecting and configuring my cisco wireless. Very handy. For more, see the ZenOfKnoppix for more on the hdinstall for knoppix. Samba is set up, the new box has all of our mp3's, and I'm working on a jukebox system. 7:23:50 PM

Chiplace.org is introducing papers accepted to CHI 2003 with online discussions with the authors. Notably, work at MS is finally getting the idea, brought to realization with Zoe, that email messages don't happen in isolation but form conversations and relationships. This works takes a different tack with an attempt to represent the tree and sequence aspects of mail. Winning the neat idea award, check out Haptic gravity wells. 7:18:47 PM
