CC: Part 2 A lovely future indeed. And I see no reason why a few RFCs couldn't be
modified to make it true. :)
Danny emailed me back about my
CC: post, where I tried
to remember what carbon paper was. Quinn (his
daughter's mother) pointed out a wonderful alternative expansion of "cc".
At the Creative Commons launch, she asked him, "Wouldn't it be a great
future if we had to work really hard to dissuade our daughter that Cc:
didn't stand for Creative Commons?"

Love Spam Too bad these aren't real! Love the tracking number at the end, that's
totally classic.
I'm sure everyone is tired of reading my spam, but I just keep getting
funny ones I want to share. Check this one out -- somebody's looking for
love (or valid email addresses) in all the wrong places!
Hi. My name is Kara, I saw your profile on the internet and was wondering if you were interested in maybe going out and doing something some time. I'm new to the area so I really don't know any of the hot spots around town, so if you're interested e-mail me at kara_532@hotmail.com and I will send you a picture of myself. I hope to hear from you soon. -Kara

Lessig's Challenge for December
This month's Lessig Challenge
results are up. The recipients of this month's contributions are the Free
Software Foundation (I'm now associate member #78) and the ACLU (of which
I am now a "card-carrying" member). Take that, Ashcroft!

Word Unmunger Batch Mode Word Unmunger now features a batch mode, so you can process many files at
once, instead of one at a time. Hurray! You could've done this before with
a shell script, but I had a user request to add it to the program. Next
thing you know, it'll be able to send email.
I'm seriously considering moving in on
the demoroniser's turf for
my next release. I'm getting annoyed with the Microsoft-isms that remain
in the HTML (like "smart" quotes and Microsoft-only emdash).
For all you hordes of Word
Unmunger users out there, I've got a tasty new feature for ya.

Marriage is what brings us together today... So congratulations to McClain and Becca.
My coworker McClain Looney got married yesterday
and he asked Nick (another coworker) and me to be the witnesses. I've
never done that before. It was pretty cool. We signed the documents, the
judge gave a nice speech (more that I would've figured), and boom, they
were married. Then we went out for drinks. Now that I've participated in
both, I can say with authority that civil cerimonies are much less
stressful than the religous ones.
