Hoorah!!  I finally got my personal site up and running with XHTML and CSS!  Check it out!  I went with a very minimal site this time around.  No pictures.  Only text.  I also kept all the old FogCreek CityDesk file names.  I did this because some people have links to me.  So far I haven't seen any problems from the few referers that I've verified.  If you run into any dead links out there could you let me know? 11:04:02 PM

PocketSOAP 1.3 ships !. [Simon Fell] Congratulations Simon!! 5:42:14 PM

A blog that I will be paying attention to.  I like Groove.  I love the fact that they are working on being able to make SOAP end-points out of client machines.  I like it so much...I applied...Still haven't heard from them :( 1:17:44 PM

I have a dilemma (sorry not a technical dilemma).  I am looking for a new car.  I currently have a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder.  This is a FUN car.  It handles like a dream over the twisty mountain roads here in Arizona.  And it gets fairly decent gas mileage even when I drive it hard (28 mpg).  But it is so not pratical.  It has no trunk.  So my wife and I can't run any impromptu errands.  But on the plus side when we are in the car it keeps our impulse buys to a minimum :-) So anyway, after driving it for 2 years we are ready to get rid of it.  Right now I have a very short list (1) of cars that I'm looking at.  At the top is the Volkswagon Jetta TDI.  The TDI is a diesel.  Before you start calling Green Peace on me, you should know that a diesel is as clean or cleaner than a gasoline engine for certain types of emissions.  Check out this page for details. Anyway, I test drove one and liked it a lot.  I couldn't corner like I can in my MR2 (mid-engine cars are a dream for cornering), but it had equivalent torque for get-up-and-go.  What I'm wondering is if anyone has anything bad to say about a TDI?  If so, could you let me know? 12:27:52 PM
