Rainer, your weblog looks bad over here, through Safari, I don’t know what’s going on. Do you want a snap-shot of it so you can check it out?

Thanks Rafael; I use Safari myself. Something has changed since about a year ago which makes the weblog text centered vertically (instead of top-aligned), but I’ve been too busy to find out why. Hold on…

I just got word that Akwan has been acquired by Google. Akwan (a Tupí-Guaraní word meaning “fast”) is a company founded by several of my former colleagues at the CS department of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. An earlier effort by some of the same people, the Miner search engine, was bought out by UOL (a large Brazilian content provider) some years ago. Congratulations!

Wolf Rentzsch says, Perhaps Time Away from the Computer Would be a Good Thing:

…Alarm goes off. Groggy. “Hmm, what time is it?” Look to the upper-right of the screen. 7:30 am. Wake up a little more. Realize I’m in bed. Realize there was no screen. Realize I’m sitting at the computer, working, even in my freakin’ dreams…

Hey, I often dream I’m online but the connection keeps dropping, and the screen is so blurry I can’t find out why. Hmm…
