interesting thread on henso.com about that server-on-the-desktop thang...
at the time, i am pretty lost concerning where internet technology is going. so many directions to go (although everyone wants me to believe there is only one path to follow)... but i believe that it's nothing unusual, just a phase of transition (another one, why not).
on the other hand, i do know that the term internet technology has to fade away from its applications. as long as technical implications stand in front of any internet service, most end-users will be turned off completely, sooner or later. i know that this leads to considerations about commercialisation, but my point of view is rather to improve our lifes (e.g. to enable my parents to use the internet at ease and therefore better).
whoa, this sounds pretty akward.
i expected some good news about trellix saving blogger and after two sentences i just don't want to read this thoughtless praise of capitalism any further. yeah, i live with it, i make profit of it, too. but what happened here does not make capitalism any better (if capitalism plays any role her at all, anyway). happy eastern (making already 60% of christmas sales).
sometimes i wish i could find such excellent texts about "austro-prawdism" on popo.at... vanishing point o5.
modularization of xhtml is a new w3c recommendation. while xhtml is really pretty easy to understand, i get terribly confused by that document. why do i fear more and more that some folks try to single-out simple tech-minds like me? wasn't this the same with rss 1.0, soap and xs(s?)lt...? shut up and dance!
today i took another look (remember?) into the depths of userland's static server. still and always very interesting stuff to be found there: my current rss channel, same for popo.at and the whole rest is here (long listing!)
and then there's all that good ole userland software (including source files), strange dr watson debugging logs and numerous web statistics.
still to be explored: the misc directory...
why is it that all the newspapers' online versions are getting worse and worse with every re-release? recent stereotype: sueddeutsche zeitung online now dull and gray, hardly to read, ugly graphics... my theory: the big guys behind the print versions suddenly got attention of the net's qualities or the impact of their digital sibling and reshape the online versions without a clue how to do it right.
lycette bros.: "not my type iii wins best direction at the french internet film festival fifi." congratulations!
i still like best the first part.
taking your talent to the web? i wonder if this book really can help...
michael hayman wrote a php script to integrate a manila-like calendar in radio userland blogs (hell knows why they did not include this feature).
