Glow is an open-source GUI calendar effort. I can’t really tell without looking around more whether it’s going after the Exchange calendaring server stuff, but honestly, that’s the part of Outlook that I appreciate most: scheduling meetings. The email part is nothing special. I dislike the archive format immensely, and the constant connection to the Exchange server to be useful is the most aggravating thing imagineable when you are working remotely, especially via dial-up (which is, of course, excruciating under any circumstances once you’ve become accustomed to broadband). Still, seems like a quixotic project to me.

Read Cameron’s report on Bill of Rights for Web Services, Panel, with Tim O’Reilly, O’Reilly & Associates, Inc., Jeff Barr, Amazon.com (didn’t know he had left his consulting gig to go to work for Amazon full-time), and Jeffrey McManus, eBay. I’ll have to look around for other news from the OSCON conference.

Convert an image into HTML or ASCII text. Fun stuff. Of course, I don’t have a logo or other iconic images to translate, but I’ll find something.

Small Initiatives perked my interest in Word HTML Cleaner. I’ll have to try it sometime, since it’s sometimes useful to write in Word, but the HTML is godawful ugly.

CNN story “Geniuses, criminals do best work in their 30s” forces me to ask… does this count double for criminal geniuses?

Sorry, had to go there. 😉
