netzeitung.de: hindert microsoft! – a short article about dave winer and microsoft (actually, i link this because i have not heard about netzeitung, yet).

the configurable rss-box viewer, version 0.9b. reads rss versions 0.9x and 1.0 (rdf) as well as the scripting news format (well, it should and actually does with most of the urls i tested).

it's non-validating, ie. the level of forgiveness is higher <g>, and – as usual with p3k projects – more a hack than a program. now syndicate!

thanks to aaron swartz, i found a much easier way to create rss-feeds from blogger-driven weblogs. actually, the tool he provides did not work very well (at least not with popo.at), but the idea was worth to pick up. with a few additional <span> tags and a little parser popo.at news go rss 1.0, too.

katz und goldt, funny although i scorn mr goldt (lucky mr katz i dunno).

hey! you! put down that web site! – a list of pirated sites with screen shots.

tonight there was a power failure here at helma labs.

i don't know if there is a correlation but all i can say is that today my machine runs unpredictably unstable. apache suddenly returns an error when it is stopped and after logon the desktop takes ages until it is displayed.

and on hannes' laptop i have troubles, too. the machine freezes because of a problem with iexplorer which causes (the "normal") explorer to crash as well – ie. the taskbar is not reacting, i cannot open any folder, not even start the task manager. die hard!

computer life stinks, at least sometimes.

christian langreiter on the ubiquitous inflation of the word commerce. true.

"mit to make nearly all course materials available free on the world wide web" – open course ware.

so little time, as if: the world time server shows the current time all around the world.

ptbtime1.ptb.de is a reliable ntp-server in germany at physikalisch-technische bundesanstalt braunschweig (the home of atomic time).

i hoped to find some more time server resources at this page, but unfortunately the guy who maintained it ran out of time (resp. wasted too much of it answering strange phone calls).

pre-view of rebol/view. introducing "the world wide reb". hmmm... another paradigm shift? it's not unusual.

i found additional information to my ftp invaders issue in a macintouch special report about ftp hijacking.

phew, i am not the only one (but i never thought so anyway). and besides the scary effect, it remains a quite interesting idea and concept.
