My new favorite site
Wikipedia. It has everything. More useful articles than I’ve ever seen in an encyclopedia before, and you can download the entire thing if you like.
Microsoft sides with Linux against ADTi
Somehow I missed this story, and it doesn’t seem to have gotten lots of press, but hey. I’ll give Microsoft credit for doing something right.
Although it is only a very small thing, very late.

Found this today: Tapestry – Your Favourite Comics by RSS
Tapestry is a series of RSS feeds for online comics. They help you keep up to date from within your favourite news aggregator, especially if you happen to miss a few days. Works great with the liferea reader. (Tapestry folks — you should add that to your list.)
Blog Software
OK, so I was looking for some new weblog software for this site. I had been using Drupal, but it was just not working well. It’s XML-RPC API was limited, it was slow, and it took a lot of effort to maintain a blog, which was poorly suited as the site’s primary purpose (as an example: there was no way to make it say anything other than “jgoerzen’s blog” for the title).
So, I went hunting for other blog software. Turns out a lot of people have been doing this lately, for completely unrelated reasons. Anyway, there’s a great comparison chart. He finally made a personal choice, but is continuing to maintin the list.
Slashdot also ran an article on MovableType recently, in which many people are looking for new options.
