I’ve got this itch to do a site redesign. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do yet though. I’ve got a few things running through my head for options, I just need to figure out which I want to do. I’ve also got some other goals as far as CSS and web accessibility.

SpamAssassin Pro. “for MS Outlook 2000/XP is built on the most popular and successful anti-spam filtering software available: SpamAssassin.” ($19.95) [evhead]

I find this a little annoying. Why is it that free software on unix has to become pay software for the PC world? Not only that, this is an open source project that anyone can work on. Does anyone who work on it get a cut of money that is made? How does this work exactly?

I even got it done on Friday this time around.

1. How long have you had a weblog? Since 3/8/2001. I even remarked on it here when it was a year.

2. What was your first post about? It was about starting a weblog.

3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one? I actually had tried to do one by hand prior to this current one, but it kept being a hassle to deal with. In the end I realized how much easier it was to use a tool like Blogger or Radio.

4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else? Currently I am a happy user of Radio. Before that I was using Blogger. I like both of them, but I really like Radio currently. It’s certainly more powerful then I may need and is immensely configurable. I’ve also used MT a lot at work for stuff and think it’s quite good.

5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place? I kind of equate weblogs and journals, since I know a lot of people other people who blur the lines between them also. I consider them all to be various kinds of weblogs.

Fox News has a great article titled Raving Lunacy today. It talks about the “Reducing Americans’ Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act of 2002,” (aka The RAVE Act). It’s nice to see people beyond ravers realizing how lame this is:

We’re at war. The people in charge of running the war say that we have to trust them: trust their integrity, and trust their judgment.

But how can we trust our government to spot terrorists when it thinks that glow sticks are items of “drug paraphernalia?”

Everyone seems to be posting their results from the palm reading site. Not one to miss a trend here’s mine:

You have a good imagination, and often exhibit sensitivity to others.

There may be times in your life when you give in to feelings of sadness or depression.

There are inconsistencies in your energy level, possibly triggered by external factors or emotional changes.

Although you have ambition, you do not always exert the energy necessary to be successful.

You have a basically strong constitution, and should enjoy good health most of the time.

You were probably given a good start in life by your parents. This could be based on your general upbringing, or on physical characteristics you inherited.

One nice thing about the new Salon Blogs are that they give me a new page to browse for things to read. Here are a few interesting blogs I found just a few minutes ago:

• Pru’s Psychic Spy Training Facility

• An Innocent Abroad

• Andrew Bayer Is Dreaming of China

More things to browse when I can’t sleep at night.

The BlogRoots authors are publishing their book on the Web, in its entirety. Chapter 8, Using Blogs in Business, is online now. Excellent. [Scripting News]

I found this site a week or so ago and have been checking back every other day. It’s a nice place to find out about stuff happening in the blogging world. I thought this chapter was a good one too since I’ve been running a group blog for my team at work for around 6 months and everyone loves it.
