The French Revolutionary calendar The French Revolutionary Calendar (or Republican Calendar) was officially adopted in France on October 24, 1793 and abolished on 1 January 1806 by Emperor Napoleon I. It was used again briefly during under the Paris Commune in 1871. The French also established a new clock, in which the day was divided in ten hours of a hundred minutes of a hundred seconds - exactly 100,000 seconds per day. The calendar was adopted more than one year after the advent of the First Republic (there was no year 1), after a long debate involving the mathematicians Romme and Monge, the poets Chénier and Fabre d' Eglantine and the painter David. The mathematicians contributed equal month division, and a decimal measures of time. The poets contributed the name of the days, choosing the names of plants, domestic animals and tools; the months rhyme three by three, according to the "sonority" of the seasons. The Eiffel Tower shown at right was built in commemoration of the French Revolution, and was built for the Paris World's Fair in 1889. The calendar was one of the great reforms undertaken by the national Convention, like the Metric system. Read

littletinywit.com Column 5: September 10, 2002 Beanee Weenee: ticking time bomb on your grocer's shelf Column 5: Bubble Boys Steve Laments Two Generations of American Idiots By Steve H. What a wonderful morning for web entrepreneuring! I'm working on the second half of my daily quart of strong coffee, I'm nearly caught up with my law practice, and web hits are piling up like dandruff on Phil Donahue's glasses. I apologize if any of you are fans of Donahue or his new show, but given his ratings, that would pretty much mean you were Phil himself. Today I want to apologize to the French for all the mean things I've said about them on this site. I know I said you smelled, which may possibly be a small exaggeration in a few isolated cases. I guess I was jealous over some of the areas where you outdo Americans. For example, a lot of you can read when you leave high school. That must be swell. And then there's the fact that a lot of you speak better English than we do. French Hotel Clerk: May I help you? American: [Blonde-haired, blue-eyed college student who watches way too much MTV] I needs me a crib, homes. Hook a brah up.

Some Random Things I Wrote Long Ago Here's a short piece on why the Internet costs money to use, and another on how the Internet relates to the hyper-concentration of power. I've joined the many people who have pontificated on whether Microsoft's dominant position in the operating system marketplace could be challenged by a non-proprietary competitor. This unfinished essay attempts to describe and explain source-spoofed denial of service attacks. I've also written a piece on what some are calling the Network Computer Revolution.
