Convert posts to markdown files This was considerable effort, and took a bit more time than I had hoped. While newer posts were written with Markdown, previous ones were writen with my own Markdown-like formatting, but they had enough differences that it was quite an effort to get things updated. I also checked the HTML output of each, though I didn't read every article in detail. Some of these were more substantial than others; National Uproar, for example. These conversions were markup translations: the actual text remains unchanged, except in one minor instance to add text for the sake of providing some text to hold a link to a quote. Any changes to post text will happen in future commits so that the diffs are clearly visible.

# USPTO Wants To Hear From Software Community
The [USPTO wants to hear from the software community][0]. Interesting, but the
problem is that the "software community" includes more than just those who
find software patents to be an abomination.
I have [mentioned issues with software patents in a previous post][1], but one
resource that may be worth looking at direclty is ["The Case Against
Patents"][2] [pdf].
