Opera in OpenBSD -- I shoehorn it in
The realities of using OpenBSD on this old machine have had me booting Puppy more and more. The reason is that Firefox in OpenBSD can't handle posting to Movable Type. Scripts are constantly timing out, and the experience is more than a little frustrating. The Dillo browser runs great in OpenBSD. It doesn't have tabs, like some versions of Dillo do. But as an interface to something as complicated as Movable Type, Dillo won't work. Since then, I've discovered the free (but not open-source) browser Opera, which is a good deal faster than Firefox (or anything else based on Mozilla) and in Windows a great deal faster than Internet Explorer. Could Opera help me in OpenBSD?

On Second Thought, Perhaps Stephenie Meyer Doesn't Get Online Fans
It really was just a month ago that we were writing about how super successful fiction author Stephenie Meyer was showing exactly how to embrace online fans, giving them free reign to build on her works and do more with them to build up her own popularity. As I was writing that post, I have to admit, in the back of my head, I wondered if I would later be writing a post about an anti-fan decision -- but even I'm surprised at how quickly it happened.
Apparently, a draft of the fifth book in her Twilight Series was leaked online, and Meyer is so upset b the ordeal that she's saying the book is on hold and may never be finished. Instead, she's telling people to consider the fourth book to be the end of the series.
As a writer, you can certainly understand the sentiment. She wants the final release to be as good as it can be, and that means getting the chance to do full rewrites, edits and other things to make sure that it's as good as can be. But, at the same time, she also has to understand that her fans are going to clamor for such a leak anyway. It shows how much they love her work and how badly they want to keep up on the latest story that they're willing to either leak or download the leak. It's just a sign of how strong their feeling is towards her work -- and her response is to punish them for it? That seems wrong.
Her true fans will still buy the completed work, should it ever come out. They want the official version and the leaked version. Why do you think so many music fans rush to get "leaked" copies of demo tapes of bands they love? People like to see how these things evolve and change over time, as it gives them an even closer connection to the work itself. I can sympathize that Meyers is upset by this, and that she might be concerned about the impact on the final story, but she might want to rethink her initial reaction, and realize that this is hardly something to be upset about. It's a sign of how much people care about her work.

Texas Firms File $1 Billion Suit Against Stanford Financial's Insurers
Two Texas law firms opened a new front Thursday in the legal battles over Stanford Financial Group, the company R. Allen Stanford allegedly used to chisel billions of dollars from unwitting investors. In a federal class action filed in Dallas on behalf of Mexican investors, the lawyers accused U.K. insurance giant Willis Group Holdings and smaller Texas insurance broker Bowen, Miclette & Britt of aiding Stanford's alleged fraud by vouching for his investments. This is the first case to target Stanford's insurers.
