ODP/dmoz Update
March 9th, 2003, No Comments
(Sinus update: It’s been about one week since the surgery. I’m off all but a few of the drugs, I’m back to my usual routine at work, and I feel great; better than I’ve felt in a year. I can breathe, taste, and smell. I feel a few years younger.) The latest RDF dump error [...]
