read some Yeats last night. it's been awhile since i've read good poetry. i'm still most moved by "september 1913" and _michael robartes and the dancer_ (especially "easter 1916").

They weighed so lightly what they gave,
But let them be, they're dead and gone,
They're with O'Leary in the grave.
--September 1913

Hehe.. well, some people have Obsessive Refresh Syndrome, others (like myself) rely on the beta Win32 client that blinks whenever there's an update--so I can see it within 30 seconds or so :)

*grin*
I tend to stay away from things labeled "beta", on the grounds that about half the time "beta" is a synonym for "my dog wrote the network drivers."

Well, they're certainly better than alphas.. of course, the current DivX codec most people use is calling itself 3.11alpha. This particular beta seems to work fine, though. The worst part is when -it's- working, and my friends page -isn't-, so it tells me "there are new posts, but you can't get to them" :P
