4. March, 2002 - news - followups
- After reading about the settlement that says QWest has to allow more time for people to migrate their DSL service and do a better job of explaining that there are more choices than MSN, Jim went to their site and got their take on it. MSN and Qwest Alliance FAQs doesn't directly mention that anyone other than MSN provides DSL service. But as of this morning, you can punch in your phone number at their ISP Availability page and find out who besides MSN can handle your needs. I've got 62 ISPs available to me.
- The Strib encourages us to think again about attending precinct caucuses tomorrow. But the caucus for which party? The dominant DFL, or do I go see where the MN Independence Party is going? Perhaps the Republicans or Greens. Hmm. None of them fit my political views very well. [strib]
- Switzerland votes to join UN. Now the Vatican's the only holdout. [google news]
- NewsTrolls - News Under the Radar - scours the news so you don't have to. [some guy]
- Amtrak reaches end of the line. If you're looking to take a vacation by train in the US, you'd probably better do it this summer. [fark!]
- Ann Coulter's opinion (quoted in the first paragraph of this article) seems to rile almost everyone. More of her columns can be found at Her archive at Townhall.com. While I'm not sure which reader submitted this, I think they missed the fact that Ann Coulter is a John Dvorak of politics. Say something outrageous in order to get attention.
- UserLand is now Tracking hits and referers for everyone using Radio who adds a simple macro to their site. And it's slowed down every one of those sites. I wrote a rant about it: Web bugs, and why I hate 'em. [scripting]
- I added a section About Polaschek yesterday. It talks some about the family history and my last name.
