Not that anyone asked

I haven't posted my birthday/winter solstice/New Year's/Yule/Newtonmas/Joe Got a Haircut Day list here because it's not anything I can realistically expect my friends to get me. I want good jobs (defined as interesting work, decent pay, and non-maddening hours+commute) for me and cattitude. I want an honest recount in Florida and Ohio, and the inauguration of John Kerry as president of the United States two months from now. I want cures/prevention for, among other things, AIDS and a stack of autoimmune and neurological problems. I want really fast, comfortable transport so I can see my loved ones and good friends who live hundres or thousands of miles away as frequently as I can see the ones who live in Brooklyn.

Telling you all this isn't actually going to increase the chances that I'll get any of it. If micheinnz ever comes up with a reliable implementation of MTP [1], I'm sure she'll share it so we can work on the general case.

In the meantime, chocolate and good tea are some comfort in adversity, but you already knew that, too.

[1] Miche Transfer Protocol, of course.

Re: job for cattitude, you haven't answered the E-mail I sent about Visual Basic programming. My company has had slim pickings from craigslist so far, so if he's qualified, he will be considered. Remind me at cquinones@itsnyc.com and I'll send you the URL for the craigslist post for our criteria.

I hear ya.

Is there any progress toward the Ohio re-count that you know about?

You bet your life I would. Something that good would have to be open source.

That would be sort of a Freind Transfer Protocol. Hmm...the RFCs already list something called FTP! Maybe this is a solved problem!

Dang! It's only for files.

People don't fit into those little raviolis.

Maybe if we use a _really big_ font...
