Giving up  

Ack. I think I've put in about all the time I can afford on my community server trial. Probably better to try it on a clean box. Using one of my son's computers, I'm running into trouble with Windows' built-in home networking stuff. File sharing seems to be done via TCP/IP on port 80. Our computers are holding hands in too many different ways to screw around with that. I do have an old old NT server around here... no! I know there are better testers of this kind of thing. I can contribute better in other ways.

God, I wish I had more confidence. When I was writing up my tests of RSS discovery in the new IE, I'd started to write something about how the feed list seemed no better than bookmarks, then I started doubting myself. I thought there must be some angle I wasn't thinking of. I didn't want to embarrass myself.

Some days, not most by any means, I'd like to be a guy.

I've read that men, perhaps by nature, are surer of their own abilities. In a study in which men and women were given the same fine motor task -- one that would be easier for women because of our slimmer fingers -- more men than women predicted they could do successfully do the task. Sometimes research like that doesn't ring true to me. That one sounds like a goddamned carillon.
