Metajournaling ... journaling about journaling. Yay!

I know I suppress a lot of stuff that I know nobody, not even me, will want to read about ever again, but at that particular moment has me bouncing with excitement. From today:

  • K took me out for lunch, broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl!

  • Handing on my wall at the office is the most overstable disc golf driver produced by Innova, the VIPER. I love this disc, using it I can make a 90 degree bend around the grove of trees on hole 9 at Rosedale to birdie the hole almost every time.

  • Co-worker D has one of those above-the-butt tattoos ... I didn't know that!

  • Hobbit called me on my cel, when I answered, he told me he was going to call me right back, but I shouldn't answer this time ... WTF?

  • Is Pamela Jones a real person, or fictitious? She seems awfully prolific for just one person, how does she find the time to write all those articles and still have a source of income? Still, I admire the work she does, it's been very educational.



See? Not post-worthy at all, but if I didn't filter there'd be a new bit of drivel every half hour or so.

I tend to post more of that sort of thing than I ought to, actually. I try to keep to some sort of standard of relevance, below which I will refrain from posting, but sometimes I fail at that. I tend to get enthralled with things that are of no consequence.

So I am the sort of person who posts one out of every three or four posts I start. And I still manage to post almost every day. The possibility of what this journal would look like if I posted everything I thought about posting is... alarming.

Also, who is Pamela Jones?

Pamela Jones is the chief source of material at Groklaw relating to the SCO vs IBM case claiming that Linux contains Intellectual Property belonging to SCO. She publishes articles detailing her interpretations of nearly every event of note in the case. The service has provided many a geek a lot of insight into what the legal briefs and court statements are actually saying.

SCO has recently tried to subpoena her, only to find her apartment empty and a statement in her blog saying she is going on hiatus for health reasons. There is some scuttlebutt that she may be a paid shill for IBM.

She posts on a lot more than SCO vs IBM, and was doing it before SCO went on their rampage. So the idea that she's an IBM shill is laughable to me.

Maybe PJ would have been worthy of a post! It seems it might have generated some interesting discussion ...

Shy person who shuns interviews and avoids reporters, or not a real person at all ... no good article, but this has come up before.

I'm without a strong opinion either way, myself.

PJ responds to e-mails, with a potent sense of ethics (chastises people for pulling petty stunts for their own ends). On the other hand, reporters have had a heck of a time trying to get interviews.

Best guess? Shy paralegal-trained person with ethics? Probably.

It'll be interesting to see if SCO can find her to serve her with a subpoena, but I hope they don't. I've been dealing with a different tech court case for a year now in which I have to give depositions about once every three months, and it is annoying as all hell.
