I’m trying out Matt’s Asides. I’ll check it out first with my test blog and if I can make it work, I’ll implement it here. I’m also running the beta version of Open Office (version 2.0 beta 2). I used to run the stable version, 1.14. I installed Open Office 2.0 this afternoon.

I was asked to write for a special report in our paper on a topic I really like. I can’t disclose the assignment, the editors might kill me. For this assignment, I plan to use Backpack (www.backpackit.com) and ZiddlyWiki (www.ziddlywiki.com) for my tasks lists and notes. I’ll then write about it here.

NerdTV’s first episode is out – here’s PBS’ teaser on the episode: “Andy Hertzfeld, the original Macintosh systems programmer, talks about MacHistory and how he fell in love with Open Source software.” I’m still downloading the episode.
