It’s a common state, but once again, my desk is a mess. My laptop (and all of its acoutrements) is piled in front of my monitor. Stacked on top of that is the March/April 2004 “Library Technology Reports” which I have yet to finish in preparation for Calamari, my great Internet content filter application (yes, [...]
