"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.
rss feed reader directory – "a (still incomplete) list of (mostly) free rss feed readers".
dns, shooby-doo!
"...and don't mention a weblog service that's not commercial, alright?"
"alright, sir chief editor, mein führer!"
"as a digital brand asset management company, nameprotect engages in crawling activity in search of a wide range of brand and other intellectual property violations that may be of interest to our clients."
scary.
what happened in the meantime?
the software update at antville.org was successful, however the server surprisingly makes troubles (which are not related to the update, btw). currently, antville is running there with java 1.3.1 but at least it is running at all.
david weinberger's new book, "small pieces losely joined" has been published. weinberger is co-author of the cluetrain manifesto and will be at the blogtalk conference in vienna in may. (btw. there will be a short presentation of antville, too.)
rebol core 2.5.5 has been released. now with full support for mac os x. and the dns "zombie" process bug should be fixed now, too.
feedster (aka roogle) is a search engine for rss feeds only.
nofrontiere relaunched its web site. nice that the nofrontierans and janek are still there.
last but not least at all: the trashqueen is blogging again.
update: futurezone reports about the new orf.at service.
bob log iii: boob scotch (can't be bought in a can).
