Ted Nelson: "Today's nightmarish new world is controlled by 'webmasters', tekkies unlikely to understand the niceties of text issues and preoccupied with the Web's exploding alphabet soup of embedded formats."

I've got the user interface coded and tested. Now I want to see if the notification gets through to Weblogs.Com for both Have's Handsome Radio Blob, and the Michegas category. Back in a minute. Not sure if it worked. Trying again. My Events page says the notification was sent, but Weblogs.Com may think my site is a ping-spammer. I'll wait a few minutes and try updating again. OK, it's been about 45 minutes (two phone conversations) so now I'll try updating and see if both the home page and the category page show up on Weblogs.Com. Now I think I have the glitches worked out. You should see both Michegas and DHRB on Weblogs.Com. Wish me luck.

Steve Wozniak: "I use iCab. It's a little incomplete but works fine for me. I like the fact that iCab respects HTML standards and instantly analyses and points out the HTML errors in web pages. I check all the options to observe the standards rather than violate them as do IE and Netscape, so some pages don't look the same. If MS had observed the HTML standards then we'd have quality web pages that look the same everywhere, and webmasters would be a bit more precise and professional."

Pfieffer Report: "In a funny way, we are back to where publishing was before DTP came around: content creation and management is once again the playground of larger players, and requires heavy investment, just as publishing technology did before XPress arrived." Amen.

Dylan Tweney: Infrastructure is big in 2001. "If you've got a website, chances are you'll be spending significantly more this year than you did last year to beef up your site's capacity to handle traffic, customers, and content. Sites that don't invest in these improvements will find themselves falling behind, as the number of Web users mushrooms and puts a heavier strain on their servers."

USA Today: Net journalists allowed to cover Olympics. Internet organizations will be accredited at the 2002 Winter Games, despite being denied lucrative video rights to the Olympics. The IOC said Wednesday that it had agreed to accredit a limited number of Internet organizations for the games, so their journalists can ''produce some original text and content.''

DW: Lest I forget to give credit, the seed of the idea for Desktop Websites came from the Cobalt Qube. They showed that the browser is a great way to configure a local server. The difference is that the computers we program have screens and keyboards, so we can view and edit the database on the same machine.

Salt Lake Tribune: Web Had Humble Beginnings. It is amazing to think today, with the World Wide Web now spanning some 7 million sites, that its creator could barely get his colleagues interested at first. Ten years later, Tim Berners-Lee has different worries: keeping the Web from growing out of control as commercial developers pile layer after layer of software on top of the Web's foundation.

Ten years after he created the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee is nurturing it into a gigantic brain, where databases get smarter and work together to solve problems.
