Oh, cool. According to Radio Free Blogistan, there's a weblog category in the Yahoo directory.
And wouldn't ya know it? Mine isn't listed. Yet. I happen to know how to add items to the directory. Perhaps I'll remedy that minor oversight. :-)
Is your blog missing? Let me know. Let's see how large we can make that category!
If you happen to be using AmhetaDesk from CVS and run into an odd error about something not being an ARRAY reference in Channels.pm, apply this patch:

It fixed it for me. Patch is on its way to the AmphetaDesk hackers, too.
Yeay for Open Source.
Update: Morbus Iff (the creator of AmphetaDesk) tells me that it's already fixed in CVS. Woohoo!
After a few month of lurking and leaving odd, sometimes offensive comments in the blogs of my friends, Dan Isaacs now has one. He's calling it Because I can. He still has some tweaking and customization to do, but there's content there already.
So, if you're one of the many that have been harassed by Dan, now's your change to return the... uh... favor. :-)
