While I love the idea

Saturday, January 19th, 2002

While I love the idea (as reported in The Times) of banging on the door of your local Jehovah’s Witnesses church during their services to offer them some magazines, the really useful, but not widely known, information is down at the bottom of the article: Paul Gillies, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Britain, said: […]

Alas, poor Blogger

Saturday, January 19th, 2002

I wanted to link to Ben Sullivan’s “RIP Blogger” piece (never mind the #comments in the url, that’s just how he refers to his permalinks), but sadly neither it nor his blog are available at the moment (RIP techblog? Guess not: it’s back the next day.). Really nothing very exciting, just another person who fails […]

Web Techniques changes its name

Tuesday, January 15th, 2002

Web Techniques changes its name to New Architect. How lame. Why not Transmediation Engenderists’ Monthly? Worse yet, it doesn’t have an X. Every new name needs an X.

weblog API

Monday, January 14th, 2002

Radio Aaronland : “And as far as the Blogger API goes, with any luck the community as a whole will develop something that *Blogger* writes to. The API, as it currently is written, fills a vacuum but I’d like to see something a little more comprehensive.” Maybe I just travel in the wrong circles, but […]

Evhead RSS: not likely to wake up

Monday, January 14th, 2002

Do you ever wonder what people are thinking? There are more Radio users subscribed to the dead Evhead RSS feed than are subscribed to, say BBC world news or diveintomark. Maybe I’m wrong, but I figured that the content of Ev.’s feed (“wake up”) was directed to its readers, rather than to the feed itself.

BlogSnob

Monday, January 14th, 2002

BlogSnob, the free, cooperative textad service, has 1119 users (as of me) out of a planned 1500, so if you have been thinking about joining, don’t put it off too long. I have to admit that when Arnab first announced it I was skeptical, but it has turned into a great promotion and site discovery […]

Bush suffers bruises in brief

Monday, January 14th, 2002

Bush suffers bruises in brief fainting spell President Bush fainted and fell off a couch in the White House on Sunday after choking on a pretzel while watching football. Is it any wonder that we get the Presidential candidates we do? Would you like to have it be national news that you fell off the […]

I got to thinking, after

Monday, January 14th, 2002

I got to thinking, after Tom at plasticbag was buttering me up, that I’m not doing near enough buttering up, myself. Thus, a sappy paean to Ev. and his former crew. Last spring, while I was getting bored with the commercial internet, I somehow ran across not.so.soft and, undoubtedly like many others, thought “I should […]
