If you’re a programmer and haven’t yet checked The Farm: The Tucows Developers’ Hangout (or just haven’t seen it recently), come give it a look! There’s all kinds of developer news, and it’s also a good place to go for Tucows client code and docuementation.
THIS magazine — Canada’s alternative politics, literature and culture magazine for thirty-odd years now — is having a party tomorrow night at The 360 on Queen Street West (326 Queen Street West, a half-block east of Spadina) in beautiful Accordion City. THIS is smart, funny, and unlike a lot of left-of-centre publications, doesn’t have its head up its ass.
Music will be provided by my friends Global Pop Conspiracy, which means it’ll be both eclectic and good. The cover’s ten bucks and proceeds go to the magazine. I’ll be there.
It’s Dave “Technorati” Sifry’s birthday today! In honour of this event we should drink Cosmos!
(Get it? Cosmos? As in Technorati Link Cosmos? Oh, never mind…)
By the way, Blogware — the blogging tool used to create this fine blog and put out by my company — and Dave are working together to make sure that Technorati and Blogware fit like a hand in a glove. Watch for great stuff from us!

Now I need to get the company to sponsor me or scrounge up a free pass somehow (the con is very expensive)…

Mark it on your calendars: Saturday, November 8th, 2003.
My friend from Crazy Go Nuts University, Ashley Bristowe and I have the same birthday: November 5th. We’ve had three joint birthday parties before and we’re doing it again. It’ll be my 36th and Ashley’s I-don’t-know-whath. It will be held at my swanky house, and given the current situation, it will probably be the last party of mine held there.
My estimate is that at peak, we had 120 people in the house at my last birthday party. If you’re really looking to procrastinate at work, you’ll enjoy the series of photos taken at that bash.
The sale of my house by my landlord has taken some strange twists. I got a call this weekend, saying that it had been bought. Followed by another call, saying that the buyers had backed out. Now, the buyers want a second look tomorrow morning. I’d just like to get it over with so that I know whether I need to begin the house hunt or not.
