Okay... so I managed to set up the delicious RSS feed here and I am not even the one who wanted it...

Has anyone else tried to set up this plugin using a flat file installation of movable type??

because the only blog I read is this one;

Results of New Intel Survey on Women and Tech

Misbehaving talking about Intels new survey on women and tech..It's high time someone did another one of those.

Misbehaving quotes Genvieve Bell:

"Not often recognized as early adopters, women in the survey are revealed as leading the way with wireless Internet access, as more women than men believe this is one of the most important features for a laptop to have (39 percent women versus 29 percent men). While men (51 percent) and women (48 percent) agree that the airport tops the list of the most useful locations to have wireless Internet access, women (38 percent) are more likely than men (30 percent) to desire a connection in a doctor's office as well."

Here's a quote from business wire

"Introducing "Tif" - the Technology Involved Female
A new, tech-savvy woman has emerged and Intel calls her "Tif," short for Technology Involved Female. She spans generations and backgrounds, from the young women who have grown up with technology, to women who have been exposed to technology at work, to motivated self-learners. Tif is closing the technology gender gap, with women at the youngest end of the spectrum actually surpassing men in their intent to purchase a laptop. Half of young women say their next computer will be a laptop as compared to 43 percent of men their same age.(2) "

I am a tif..... tif tif tif .. it just rolls off the tongue. I wish I could have made that MT- RSSFEED plugin work yesterday than maybe I would feel a little more tif-ish than I presently do.

I also wish they could have come up with a sexier name. I mean Geek-chic, that's sexy. TIF is a file format (as only a tif would know). I want to be a laptop lesbian or something.

Okay also FTR I let the oil run out in my furnace and it is sOOO cooolld. That was my fingers shivering while I type. so cold.

verbal scaled score 42, putting me in the 98th percentile.
math scaled score 21, putting me on the level with monkeys and other tree dwelling lice eaters (okay in plain english - the 25th percentile)

The whole deal with the percentiles is that reather than saying how good I am or am not, it is saying you are better than x% of the population

Look at that! I am a verbal genius.

As I mentioned earlier I was a little nervous about my test.

So last night I had this funny anxiety dream in which Oana and I were working together on designing a new kind of high-tech running shoe that was completely open-source.

I woke up and felt just fine.
