will push ever die – please!? version 1.2 of the wireless application protocol will support push. will those suits ever get it? begging even more...
webmonkey adds two additional ressources to my acronym links: the "acronym interaction, expansion and extrapolation engine" aieee and – a little further from providing acrotalk only – the "web economy bullshit generator".
hey! i became a rebol beta tester! wonder why, probably i just sent to many feedback messages... this is my first time as a beta tester and i want to take this seriously <g>. well, that is quite easy since rebol/command brings an odbc interface, external library support and access to shell commands. i am so excited!
i chose siegmund as my weblog icon (vienna, psycho analysis, you know, wink, wink, nudge, nudge!). i probably did not completely get behind the idea of those icons but maybe some people indeed do have the right perspective to find one colorful, tiny image in between hundreds of other colorful, tiny images...
meanwhile i entertain myself with some flangynews links: e.g. fisher price little people that look like trekkies or muppets. reminds me of those moon-faced kids from southpark.
certainly i like a good, sticky porn site (hehe).
today is be-an-acronym-day! because london news is examining some acronyms i was looking for some sites about acronyms. acronym finder looks really crappy but seems to be quite powerful. at least i can find a lot of well-known people there: e.g. pimi, flo, pia, chris, babs, andi, arf, milli and tobi.
i accidently came across a tv report about a new austrian movie called heller als der mond (brighter than the moon). it was a very positive recommendation and the excerpts shown were promising. the characters seem to have jumped out of a kaurismäki story and the scenery is minimalistic as can be. and that is not primarily because of the low budget. the makers learnt their film history lesson well. the overall plot is about being a stranger, being in strange places. something you cannot tell the people about often enough. especially at the moment in austria.
evelyn glennie plays the percussion and drums perfectly. she is from scotland and deaf.
i assume with the helma object publisher (hop) i could do things like wiki, too. i installed hop on a mac and everything went smoothly and with ease. great job, hannes!
i am thinking of adding a revision control system on the wiki backend...
when i hear the word "wickie" in austria at the moment i rather think of yet another psychological mass phenomenon than of some cool software idea. but exceptionally i am wrong here in many ways.
first of all, the word in question is spelled "wiki" and i assume it originates from the anglo-american language. and it is in fact the name of a weird hypertext system. wiki brings back the editor to the world wide web, something tim berners-lee never considered as an option but as an unalterable quality of his invention. take that, suits!
on my way through this site (which i already got to know browsing for references on extreme programming) i found a good old buddy going wiki as zwiki.
i found out about all of this because i got to know a wiki expert via weblogging: christian langreiter adapted wiki to work with rebol and calls his baby vanilla. i just installed vanilla and was not disappointed. vanilla is a flavor you can rely on: simple and seductive.
feels like a i peeped through a keyhole into a new little universe.
