heise online: stephan münz wins the grotesque trial about the so-called "explorer" link in first instance.
"quickly wars with tribes living in the interior ensued and the germans countered with the creation of a poliztruppe in november 1891 to combat die natives. 370 dahomeans were purchased by a military explorer, capt. freiherr von gravenreuth, from their king who was planning to have them eaten at an upcoming feast." – the colonial wars of imperial germany
slashdot for macnuts: macslash. btw: did apple betray the web community buying amazon's impotent patent? coup de pomme.
the mind of tim berners-lee explained: [world wide web] design issues – architectural and philosophical points.
huh! so i could use my pizzabox as a webserver, too: the machine serving pizzabox.newgeo.com is an old macintosh lcii! and quid pro quo is the server software. found via schockwellenreiter/blafasel. also from latter is the link to macintosh developer.
today i played around for the first time with the latest rebol/view. it's hard to describe what it is: an interface development kit, a browser, a scripting environment, an image processor... or everything at once? knowing rebol/core quite well i was surprised what view can do more (it's a lot). definitely smart is the way it can arrange interface elements. the basic ones that are needed for input and output are available. they come along quite "boxy" but the big advantage is their capability to return to standards known from offline application development. somehow it's like apple's hypercard, but much faster and easier. with colors and – most important – a gorgeous engine for doing network tasks.
mc "stephen" hawking: "yo! f*ck the creationists!" throw your hands in the air and turn your wheelchair like you just don't care!
i will join the net demonstration initiated by freedom for links against the madness of sueing website owners because of simple hypertext links. from tonight, 0:00 cet. haboglabobloggin' will not be available for 24 hours. just my 3 calories against mr gravenreuth.
placing banner ads on 404 pages – is this a cool idea that's been around for a while and i missed it or is it not such a cool idea because it is not working at all?
it's redesign time for german speaking online news magazines: recent emperors in new clothes are der standard and die zeit. while der standard at least made some improvements in design (but still is using frames, yuck!), die zeit removed their whole archive (or uses new urls for archived articles now). that's a big, big, BIG mistake. time to get content-managed! claudia already remarked correctly that the new online zeit is a step back in design.
although i can hardly read one of the colorful plenty of words i somehow like a grippy's logbriefer. whatever hybrid poem's might be, something is stirred up inside of me by a word like "luggallloggagings".
