Cool, Charles just added a "remember me" feature to his comments. After me getting a ideas from him, I wonder if he got this idea from me?

He one-upped me though. He gives the user a choice. Nice Smiley

And oh my goodness he used the <label> tag!

Slashdot reports: "Universe Beige, not Turquoise". Space.com: Color Corrected: Johns Hopkins Researchers Say Universe Much Blander Than Before.

Two Johns Hopkins University astronomers announced in January they had averaged all the colors from the light of 200,000 galaxies and concluded that if the human eye could see this combined hue, it would be a sprightly pale green. That, they said, was the color of the universe.

But Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry said Thursday that their conclusion was wrong. They had been tripped up by flawed software that was uncovered by color engineers who checked their data.

"It is embarrassing," Glazebrook said. "But this is science. We're not like politicians. If we make mistakes, we admit them. That's how science works."

Aww, Sarah Hughes isn't particpating in the World Championships, and her life is starting to get back to "normal" Smiley There's also the Great American Figure Skating Challenge coming up in April which will have Hughes, Kwan, Cohen as well as Goebel and Eldredge participating in men's and women's teams. It's on April 16th at 7:00pm. Sounds like a fun thing to watch.

I'm currently watching The Toy, with Richard Pryor, on DVD!

"Were you ever a theif?!"
"Shut up"
"Well were ya?"
"Don't you know it's part of the black cultural imperative!?"

"If I say they're lies, they're lies."
"But it's the truth!"
"The truth? <snicker> The truth has nothing to do with reality. You have to deal with reality."
"In reality, any one of these people, with a little persuasion, will say what I want them to say, because I am reality. - Moorhouse, take your pants down."
"Sir?"
"I said take your pants down, right here, right now."
"I have to?"
"Well, if you value your job."
Takes pants down
"That's reality." Pause. "Get dressed."

I'm about to start using ADOdb for a project. We'll see how it turns out.

I'd been meaning to blog this at the same time I blogged this but I didn't get to. Drop.org, 1st annual Open Source Content Management Systems Conference in Zurich, Switzerland on March 21-22. "This conference will be mainly a developer's conference, but all others are very welcome as well. The goal is to bring together as many great brains as possible to build a network and grow the community of OSCMSs. We want to show the world that there are already great and easy-to-use OSCMSs out there." Covers a lot of CMSs I haven't heard of, as well as a few I have. Go to conference.wyona.org for the official website.

I've been watching the Cosby Show nonstop on Nick at Night tonight! What a good show.
