[VOID] Into the sixth power circle.

Sweet, I post a little nonsense stream of conscious and suddenly I'm
offered hot tubs, eggnog, vacations, and milktea.  Life is good.

Another FoRK dinner might be nice, though I gotta warn you that if I
haven't cracked yet, I'm not likely to crack.

Rohit can't show up, by the way, since he refuses to exist anymore.  (In
the truly Cartesian sense, he no longer thinks, therefore he no longer
is. :)

Man I love the holiday season...

P.S. -- Has anyone broken into the Oracle site yet?  "In the seven weeks
Oracle's ``Unbreakable'' ad campaign has been running, hacking attempts
on the company's Web site have increased ten-fold, Ellison said during
his Oracle OpenWorld keynote this week.  ``Normally we get roughly 3,000
attacks a week. Now we're getting 30,000 attacks a week,'' Mark Jarvis,
senior vice president and chief marketing officer, told Reuters. ``We
are not inviting hackers to come and attack our site. They have decided
to take it on of their own accord.''"
