me weblog straggler.
kevin sites blog is a "first-person account of a solo journalist's life on the front lines of war" (ie. northern iraq). with rss feed, audblogging and all that stuff.
where is raed? v2.0, a weblog from baghdad. with scarce food, bombs and all that stuff.
i am not sure what i should think of klipfolio and these so-called klips invented by serence inc.
just looking at the orf.at klip three things itch my back:
- there's no information that the klip ist just a wrapper around the orf.at rss feeds.
- except for the xml source (which is not visible for the average user) the klip does not reveal that it was not produced by orf.at but people could think so regarding the information displayed. there's no hint who in fact created the clip: could be serence as well as any other klip provider in the world.
- the klip is totally broken and does not work. it's quite obvious looking at the corrupted end of the source file orf.at.klip (application/octet-stream, 4 KB) .
the army of the willing (ie. governments without support of the people or such of developing or emerging countries).
btw. recent rumour spreads that tarek aziz was not killed but surrendered to the us troops.
update: rumour is rumour. aziz is alive and kickin' in iraq. uh, and the ambush has begun.
puttanopoly – "un gioco per riflettere, una riflessione per giocare".
the guardian: "in puttanopoly (which roughly translates to whoresville), eight players become immigrant prostitutes enslaved by the mafia. the game, created by the committee for prostitutes' civil rights, aims to raise awareness of the growing problem of sex slavery".
i like this information page of aggie (which obviously is yet another rss news aggregator): the feature of getting to know the guy – in a hermaphroditic sense – who scans one's rss feed with a desktop application will become bloody important as soon as your provider will increase the hosting prices for your nifty private weblog due to heavy traffic.
mac os x hints: modify partitions without wiping the entire disk.
due to modifications of p3k.org's domain name server configuration some inconveniences regarding e-mail and web services at p3k.org might occur. i apologize. however, that does not affect global positioning systems or the ambush at the gulf.
"operation terrortubbies" (via shithappens).
or should i rather say "shiite happens"?
the guardian: "hello world – time was when the best would-be writers could look forward to was a publisher's slush pile. then came zines, photocopied and self-stapled. and now, blogging: a global audience at the touch of a key" (via e-mail).
i assume this yahoo! news view reveals(?) that yahoo! e-mails are getting scanned pretty extensively, does it not?
i must admit i find it a very informative service, though.
