This is the first thing that has come out of GWB's mouth that I actually approve of. It is time we removed the distinction between soldiers and terrorists. If you train soldiers/terrorists in your country, to attack our county, then you are our enemy.
Notice how we define the word "Zeitgeist" in English as "the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era." So instead of saying the latter phrase, we can just steal a single word from Germany. If we could define the word "Zeitgeist" as "well, it means the same as 'flgrogbrsa' in English, then we'd have no reason to use the German word. I guess we could go to the trouble of making up our own in English, but people in this country have problems as it is with the words we've got.
Or you could just use the word "Trends" like most people do with their marketing information.
I was to deliver 4 milestones to complete my project. The first was delivered in early December of last year and I have yet to receive the payment for this milestone yet. I was assured by John Egan of Collab.net as late as February 22, that I would be paid for it. I have a snowballs chance in hell of seeing that money now.
Milestone 2 was scheduled to be released in two weeks after being integrated into the Jive CVS repository.
Milestone 3 is to begin this weekend when I travel to work with Bill and Matt of CoolServlets to consult with them on the best way to include Moderation in the Jive codebase and integrate with existing Moderation code.
I still plan to do Milestone 4.
For those of you wondering what does the passing of SourceXchange mean for the Open Source world? Nothing. SourceXchange was more of a hinderance than a help to my project. They were supposed to supply every project (mine was #39) with a mailing list. The first time that I saw the SourceXchange mailing lists work was when Brian Behlendorf sent out the SourceXchange announcement that they were closing the doors.
From the letter:
Thank you to the hundreds of participants on our various projects,
and to the sponsors who were willing to take a risk on a new model (and
who, by and large, got good results).
I certainly doubt that MyComponents.com feels that they got good results from SourceXchange. They got very little from the contest winners (myself included) and I am sure absolutely nothing that would benefit them as a business. If MyComponents made any payments to Collab.net, they should be asking for a refund.
The only good thing to come out of the whole "Best Webapps Contest" was that it inspired the First place winner RickardOberg to write WebWork.

It's time to go to war.

I am the developer who won third place in the "Best Webapps Contest". While a lot of the winning entries didn't seem to be making much headway, my project was under active development.
