I find this hilarious. Not the fact that Sun Microsystems is changing their NASDAQ stock ticker symbol to JAVA from the old SUNW. Rather that so many top Google hits commenting on this fact come from ASF folks, not Sun marketing the SUNW -> JAVA change. Ha!

Disappointing Spam
Amused this morning when two adjacent spam emails were 1) a phishing spam for a bank, and 2) a purported anti-phishing security report. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the second and realized the Subject: line was bogus, and it was really some religious spam. Not as funny. [0]

Irony of ironies
My current Excel registry policy settings prevent me from saving spreadsheets to any 1-2-3 file type. And making it doubly ironic, my current Lotus Symphony (the new one, not the original one) settings don’t include any 1-2-3 file type writers, either. Is this what over a decade of testing/building/coding 1-2-3 releases has brought me to? [1]

Happy SUNNY 4th of July
Thanks to the weather gods for our first sunny summer weekend – and happy 4th of July to all who celebrate it. Bonus thanks for the friends who threw a great party this afternoon too! Now must go find my recording of the 1812 Overture to listen to again… [1]

The phrase “lipstick on the pig” comes to mind…
