I have been playing with the Weboutliner demo (I wish Doug had done this when he was at UserLand, LOL) and it is very cool. I want this for my weblog (but I want it on the desktop)!

Marc has big plans for this tool (his blogroll display on the left of his weblog is something that I want too!). [John Robb's Weblog] 9:55:45 AM comment []

Hollins writes "Yesterday, SCO filed their latest 10-Q.

the 10-Q, including "The success of our SCOsource licensing initiative,
at least initially, will depend to a great extent on the perceived
strength of our intellectual property and contractual claims and our
willingness to enforce our rights. Many, particularly those in the open
source community, dispute the allegations of infringement that we have
