A sad story

about the demise of arsDigita: Diary of a Start-Up, by Eve Anderssen. I was only vaguely aware of aD in the early days, but I wish now that I had kept closer track of them.

Open call for help

Open call for help

: I have been working on a substantial redesign for this site, using code that will validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional with valid CSS as well. Both the HTML and the CSS validate pretty well. And it looks just as I want it to in Mac IE 5.1.3 and Netscape 6.2.1. Trouble is in Win IE 5.5, it looks like hell. The right margin isn’t being respected, so the links div is superimposed on the main text area. I have checked both Eric Costello‘s and Owen Briggs‘ sites for a leg up, but to no avail. Any assistance will be rewarded with everlasting appreciation and respect!

John Robb

October 31, 2001 by Michael Boyle

of Userland Software believes that the USPS shoudn’t be saved. He writes, “Too many workers are in jobs that aren’t leveraged by computer automation” and later states that the postal service is resistant to automation.

According to recent data from the USPS and FedEx, the USPS looks damned efficient. They delivered 200 billion pieces of mail a year with, Robb cites, 300 thousand employees. FedEx delivered 526 million pieces with 215,000 employees. Even if all but 10% of the USPS traffic were addressed and unaddressed admail, that’s still a great deal more volume delivered than FedEx with only 85,000 more employees.
