Hey check this out. The mind bombs are spreading. DJ Adams figured out that our XML coffee mug could map onto any HTTP server running on 127.0.0.1, port 5335.

This is what bonds us, not whether or not we give our code away in a way that pleases Richard Stallman or Jeff Bezos (to pick two extremes) -- it's whether one can pick up on an eye-twinkle, and let your soul get excited by the possibilities. I love playing tennis with people who hit the ball back. There are so many sad sacks floating around, what a thrill to find someone whose mind is alive.
