And my project for the day: write a lightweight address
book/rolodex thing that doesn't require a DB or X. If such
a beast already exists, let me know. In the
meantime, Ive got a 3k perl script that lets me add, view,
and update real-life contact info for people. like phone
numbers and such. If my website ever gets back online, I'll
post a link. Or if you're interested, I can mail it to you.
Sadly, I really could've used this while I still knew
where the contact info for certain people was. Oh well.
... Wait! just found my years-out-of-date contact
list, explorted <tangent>new word!</tangent>
from Outlook
back in the dark ages. I can get phone numbers for my
family, at least. They never move.

Hey! Didn't MS say they were changing their TOS?!? While
attempting to re-activate my old hotmail account, the TOS I
was presented with contained the following:

provide to Microsoft (including feedback and suggestions) or
post, upload, input or submit to any MSN Site/Service or its
associated services for review by the general public (each a
"Submission" and collectively "Submissions"). However, by
posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting your

What gives?
