Ca fait deja trois jours.... 
That's a line from a children's song in French for a charity group that raises money for children with HIV.
I'm too lazy, and too busy to place the cedilla under the *C*

I may be irrelevant, but...
| Fact: The OPML blog - which initially seemed to be the whole point of developing and releasing the OPML Editor - basically has become irrelevant. The only significant OPML blogger is Dave, and even in his case, he primarily uses it as a blog of his other blogs. |
On my last two Mental Health Missives I have been talking about the symptoms of and treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. This has me thinking about what is relevant and irrelevant.
In fact, people have all different kinds of assets and liabilities. I am of the belief that the way to have a life of quality is to pursue that which one does well. It's a lot like the Serenity Prayer. Trying to change the things I can't is a futile exercise. Having the courage to improve and grow in the areas that can change, is the right path for me. I am effective in working with patients who suffer from personality disorders, and this is where I focus my attention.
I love this blog tool, but it is silly for me to think that I could improve the code, or the useability. I leave that up to the people who can do these things.
I am pleased with what I have done with this blog, and if no one reads, that's OK, too. You see, self-actualization means that I do what I do because it feels right, not because I have to, but because I want to...
Thanks, Dave for allowing anyone who wants, to have a blog.

Web Developers
Today I was called to a meeting with the company that is going to create a new web site for my place of employment. The old one is atrocious.
The two young men involved in gathering data about my program were both adorable, and very *business*. I work in health care, and that keeps me separate from the fact that this is a business at which I work.
Our public relations person asked that I be placed on the design team to approve the look of the site. WOW!! She said I had a refined sense of design, and knew more than most people in the hospital about computers and the internet.
As soon as I left the meeting, I went back to my office to check out their web site. Where's kosso when you need him? Some Flash, huh?...Oh, in Boston.
| BTW, kosso, I know doctoe likes the beard, but, I think women in the states like clean-shaven men better. |
| From the way you've been talking, you may be living here soon, anyway. Listen to Adam Curry's metrosexual moment. |

| L'OPML ( Outline Processor Markup Language ) est un format de fichiers qui permet, entre autres, de référencer une série de flux RSS. Il est principalement utilisé pour importer/exporter des flux RSS entre différents agrégateurs. Plus d'informations sont disponibles en français à l'adresse : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_Processor_Markup_Language |

Creepy Research
Have you ever heard of apotemnophila? Yuccccch..
Or should I keep an open mind?

Still can't get the NewsReader to work for a reading list.
