10:06 Worked some more on my anti-xmas site, added an explanation and a list of contenders in the IE-HTML list eXploring Xmas contest.

I'm surprised and pleased that most of my readers have positive (or at least tolerant) views of my entry. Most of the world seems to be quite negative about it :-( It seems that my readers are a cut above the rest of the world in both intelligence and tolerance, and most likely in looks, too! Thank you all for being here!

Pretty crummy night... I slept all of it, which means I'll be up all day today, so I'll be beat going in tonight at 19:00 to work my 12 hours (OT!) but maybe I'll get tired enough to take a nap somewhere down the line here.

I was very embarrassed at an incident on the IE-HTML mailing list... when I sent in my entry, I didn't erase the previous subject line, and it made the owner of the subject line look like they had something to do with Nilknarf, and they don't really want anything to do with me at all, especially my anti-xmas entry! So I sent them apologies individually and also to the list, but it made me look like a newby fool... so I guess I am.

The Atheist in the box at a funeral... all dressed up and no place to go... several people have sent me this line, I love it! It was the first thing that my mother said to me when I told her I was an atheist, many years ago.

I just realized that I'm inconsistent with my capitalization of atheist and christian and other stuff. I don't know what to do about it. I would like to go all lower-case, like a lot of people have done. After all, one word isn't any more important that any other, right? But my English Teachers got to me when I was young, and it stuck really good. So I'll have to live with this, and so will you. If I ever get an editor(hah!) I'll let them worry about it.

I'm going to put this up, there might be more later, maybe not. Depends on the day....

Thanx for being here!
