Yes, dear. Now give it a try and feel the social networking, the climbing of ideas out of primordial maelstrom. :)

I have added one goal, so far, that I think will enhance my life, that I had not contemplated earlier, simply from seeing it in others' lists.

I'm all about data, distilling information. How prosaic a list, in english, on paper, delimited and dispersed the same as a list of groceries, car colors, or dictionary words... and then, not even (as far as a computer is concerned) a proper list, beyond the list of bits, bytes that turn it into characters on a screen. Words that are difficult, at best, to realize _are_ a list, let alone determine what sort of list it might be.

S'why I use skwerms.org for keeping track of my own personal to-dos. :)

Genealogy is something I haven't _quite_ done, yet. My mom got roped into it many years ago (as reference librarian), and I'm fairly sure she has a fairly extensive tree going back. My wife's lineage is also fairly traced back, through early settlers and onto other continents, with bibles and the whole beeswax. Any "probability assessment" on each of those branches? ;) Once you get so far, it's hard to tell what name got spelled how many different ways, and whose bastard you really are. Etc, etc.

I imagine any number of the 'social networking' sites is just a hair's breadth away from adding genealogy somehow... ?

Is there an online site for managing (and "publishing" your genealogy?)???

"merging" would be ... difficult. ownership of relatives and all that.

HMM.

I know!

It's like he's still the same old Kaolin or something.

Thanks. :)

the ... web interface is nifty, but I don't see the valueadd there.

Well, just prior to noticing mail and responding to this, I was on: http://www.overnitecbt.com/iraq/index2.html

Somewhat more generally, I'm at work, setting up a development system on fedora core 3 with apache, php, samba, mysql, and svn. And theoretically building a book of best practices, building sites, enforcing best practices, etc.

More generally than that, I'm still picking up pieces from after the weeks leading up to getting married.

What a long, strange trip it's been.

I work at http://centric.com/

Which is a 3.6 mile round-trip commute.

Hmm. Forgot I was on this page. Not tracking so well, it seems. Back to work. ;)

Oh, and as far as gmail--yeah, I agree. I don't like the fact that they don't support IMAP. But it's good to have an external account that won't go down, from time to time.
