This is my computer. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My computer is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it, as I must master my life. Without me, my computer is useless. Without my computer, I am useless. I must use my computer true. I true. I must compute faster than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must outcompute him before he outcomputes me. I will. Before God, I swear this creed. My computer and myself are defenders of this country. We are masters of our enemy. We are the saviours of my life. So be it until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

Visio Rant: The new AutoConnect feature in Microsoft Visio 2007 Professional doesn't do exactly what you'd like. Firstly, its unintuitive to turn on - requires a Tools | Options type of enabling, and it also requires a toolbar selection to enable it per-drawing. Secondly, in UML drawings such as an Activity diagram, you want to modify which connector is being used. E.g. use Control Flow between States or Action States, whereas the autoconnect puts a two sided generic 'connector' between the states. This doesn't help because in the Activity diagram, you need to represent which direction the flow is proceeding in with the Control Flow or Object Flow connectors. Feature request for Microsoft? Automatic connections are so much easier in Rational's eclipse based modelling tool (RSM/RSA). In RSM the connectors change based on the objects you are connecting. Seems obvious enough.

Somehow I came upon The International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) is an annual report by the Department of State to Congress prepared in accordance with the Foreign Assistance Act. It describes the efforts of key countries to attack all aspects of the international drug trade in Calendar Year 2007. "Diversion" is apparently the latest way of getting from the suppliers to the end users. Notice 'Transit Country A' is somewhere in South America - interesting graphical prejudice ( but I love diagrams!) A snippet of the report on India's role in the world wide diversion scene: "A joint investigation by the DEA and India’s Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in 2005 led to the dismantling of a major international pharmaceutical drug organization that was distributing controlled pharmaceuticals such as bulk ephedrine (a controlled precursor chemical) and ketamine (a Schedule III non-narcotic controlled substance in the U.S.) internationally through the I...
