about the problems with software patents that cover online practices and methods. It’s a pretty good article, though intended for an audience who’s never heard of the issue. [via MetaFilter]
Billy Bragg and Wilco
Billy Bragg and Wilco have released Mermaid Avenue II, the second collection of songs from the Woody Guthrie lyric archives. I got it on Friday and have listened to it a couple of times, and so far I’m very impressed. Of course, I love Billy Bragg and Wilco on their own and have since long before this collaboration, so it’s a bit of a no-brainer for me.
Next Saturday, Belgium
kicks off the first game of Euro 2000 in Brussels. I’m not a huge football (aka soccer) fan but I love the big tournaments. And Montreal is a particularly great place to be a soccer fan – it really comes alive during a big event. My neighbourhood (le Plateau Mont-Royal) is a mix of artists and students – but also of tons of first-generation Canadians, just here from Portugal, South and Central America, and little Italy is just up the way a mile or so. During the last World Cup if you had walked down boul. St-Laurent, you would have noticed that every business had a TV in it – barbershops, hair salons, cafs, bars, restos – and they were all tuned to a game.
My friend Roel splits his time between here and Amsterdam and tells me that Holland is particularly dangerous this year.
I’m still getting
these weird caching problems with IE. I thought I was done with those – but my about page still shows up with the old design and the new stylesheet using IE (which is very ugly), and just now a recent post didn’t appear to me, though it did in Netscape and iCab. I would love to know if anyone else has had similar problems.
