Hypertaskers do things faster but not better is today's article from SlashDot. Forgetfulness, sleeplessness, irritability and stress, sounds familiar? Sure does to me. Anyway, with increasing demands and increasing inputs it seems the logical thing to do is to find a way to be able to deal with issues one at a time in a relaxed fashion. And how do you deal with that email-overload? 
Ralph S. Engelschall writes on FreeBSD'sUFS2 Snapshot Management Environment. This is really rather cool stuff for a filesystem in a production environment like at work.
Hi. I'm having a bit of trouble using Roller for Ingeborg's homepage. I've set the characterset to be ISO-8859-1, yet all norwegian characters end up as question marks in the HTML. The database contains the posts with Norwegian characters, so something weird happens on its way through Roller. Checked this with version 0.9.8.1 and 0.9.8.2. Apparently this is still true with 0.9.9. Time to finally ditch Roller (and go for WordPress?)? I like the system, but it keeps failing on me and not having a big community making plugins and such for it, there's not really that much to hold on to. Or is there? Input is most welcome! 
Crhis Anderson answers Miguel de Icaza's concerns about Avalon. I'm very glad he does, and to have discussions like this in a public forum is great. I don't totally buy the SVG and CSS both were passed on because they weren't adaquate to meet our needs. I've heared this way to many times before as an excuse to reinvent the wheel and having to answer to no-one. Although it's not embrace and extend we're used to, I would have preferred them to implement standards correctly and then make additions through contributing to standard bodies like W3C.
