webpager says: A message was sent to you from Dee containing the text;

well you said to try it, so I thought I would…. hi!!!!!

That I did. So it works and at least one person gave it a try. Could make for an intresting way to post to blog or something. Will have to think and maybe write some code to give it a try.

Description of Buddhism

The Snelling Sutra

What is Buddhism About?

Basically the question is: How can you achieve release from suffering? The Buddha found that there are certain steps that can be taken. Buddhism therefore offers its followers things that they can do rather than things for them to believe.

Meditation

When people are meditating, they are not frantically caught up in all the pictures and thoughts that are milling about in their heads. Rather, they are peacefully allowing these to settle down. They do not, however, allow their minds to go blank. In fact, they stay very alert and watch everything that comes into their minds.

Joel Picks a Ship Date

Picking a Ship Date, lots of good advice

So my basic rule for software release cycles is:

  1. Set a ship date, which might as well be arbitrary
  2. Make a list of features and sort them out by priority
  3. Cut low-priority features every time you slip so as to make the date.

This is just a great aside, and I can attest to the validity of the statement.

“How are you building the site now?” I asked.

“Oh, we just do it all manually with BBEdit,” they told me. “Sure, there are thousands of pages, but BBEdit has a really good global-find-and-replace function…”
