a couple fixes
June 13, 2003 by Eric Richardson
I just fixed the archive and comment functionality. Oops. Didn't realize those two were broken. They aren't now.
upgrade time
June 12, 2003 by Eric Richardson
I just upgraded this eThreads installation to the devel code I've been banging on for a while now. It's not perfect, there are still a couple little things that won't work right (I need to go through and change the syntax for a couple things), but I decided that the new code with flaws was better than the old code, so it became time to flip the switch. Little fixes will come over the next couple days, but feel free to let me know if you find something going wacky.
back at home...
June 09, 2003 by Eric Richardson
I'm back at home for a few weeks, enjoying not cooking for myself. I made it over to Grand Rapids on Saturday to check out shmuel's show. Cool stuff. I'm excited to hear his cd when it's done. Alan wrote a post about the show and geourl that both includes a picture from the set, and quotes me, so I'll just link over there instead of writing more.
geourl

The other day shmuel mentioned geourl to me, so I went ahead and put the tag on my site. You can see registered sites that are in a 10 mile radius of me. Somewhat interesting stuff. The first two are USC people. In fact, the guy who does the closest one actually came and commented here.
eldred petition
June 03, 2003 by Eric Richardson
Earlier I mentioned the proposed Eldred copyright act. Now they're putting together a petition for it. In the slashdot comments, though, there is some definite misunderstanding of the act. It would not do away with the current life+70 term. Instead, it would simply require renewal at 50 years, and then if that renewal was done the normal term would transpire. You can't renew perpetually, only up to the full length of US copyright term. That said, Congress could still do its 20 year dance, but that's another whole can o' worms.
