<IFRAMES> Thanks for that code Dann!  It took me about 5 minutes to hack up a 'new spam' notice that i can click to initiate a spam report without needing to switch to email. a step saved at a very low cost. Thank you!

Now i want to know HOW TO KEEP AN OPEN CONNECTION from the http server to the iframe. I imagine continuously sending JavaScript updates to the client.

Dann Sheridan shipped something very cool for Radio -- a way to do dynamic browser-based dashboards that link into the core of Radio's XML engine. There isn't a lot of software in Dann's release, but it's still a breakthrough. [Scripting News]

A picture named brentThrowingSnowball.gifI'm still doing the line by line review of the community server running behind Radio 8. Yesterday I worked on the Web "bug" -- a 1-pixel graphic that's the key to hit and referer tracking for Radio sites. Such a tiny little thing, but it provides so much information for the community.

umm... my count is still not working dave!

Follow Me Here: "The Illusion of Conscious Will: "Do we consciously cause our actions, or do they happen to us? Philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, theologians, and lawyers have long debated the existence of free will versus determinism. "

Fascinating question. Pointer to a book.

My take, essentially is that both are true. the present moment (as a device to solve the riddle) is inevitable. it is 100% predetermined. 'That' moment, the one that passed out of the present is 'The' present moment by the time you break out of unity. When you are 'in' the moment - in unity/flow/whatever _you label it - you are 'with it' with the moment. From there you have many degrees of freedom along which to 'exercise choice' - you attenuate. e.g. free-will is in what you do with it - right then and there.  :)  Thus we have "Keep on Truckin.."

New Scientist One-year-olds are supposed to learn by copying adults - but now it seems they only copy us if it what we are doing makes sense to them.

Looking forward to the day when its "makes sense in them" rather than "to them".. we all have blueprints that unroll over time. if it works, even when its a misconception we use it. over time we force ourselves to let go off the misconceptions or the blueprints.  tao reasoning. energetics, resonance, induction. its not that hard to see, is it?

ABCNEWS.com : Scientists Want to Know Why Sex Is Popular

"The field is tired about talking about theory," Kondrashov said.

"My sense is that it's more or less accepted that there are a couple of coherent ideas, reasonable ideas which may explain what happens," he said.

"And also it is accepted that we are still pretty far from knowing what actually happens."

Clearly a case of "Just do it".... perhaps a sprinling of Turing's Law's will open up that possibility to readers confused by ABC's flat-landers:

(quoted from "Turing's Law - Ambiguity and Computability")

Law of Computation (conscious intent): Turing Church: expressions are computable if, and only if, the terms can be represented by finite numbers and the expression can be computed by finite means.
 
Law of Ambiguity (conscious intent): Turing Babbage: (unlike math) computation must include selection statements, however all ambiguities must be resolved by computation.

Law of Finite Space (conscious intent): Turing Schrodinger: the universe is measured in indivisible quantum states and our knowledge is finite, thus the known universe is finite.

the known is finite, the unknown infinite. me, i like meeting the unknown.. to triangulate the unknowable. weekend topics :)

nutshell: sex is where you meet the unknown; the rest is obsession. period.

The unofficial Astrid Lindgren Page Astrid Lindgren died peacefully Monday January 28th 2002.

The burial ceremony will take place in Stockholm on March the 8th. The ceremony will be shown on Swedish TV. The actual grave will be in Vimmerby. Safe journey to Nangiala, Astrid! We'll miss you! Astrid wasn't afraid of dying. "I don't mind dying, I'll gladly do that, but not right now, I need to clean the house first", she once said in an interview. Astrid was born on November the 14th 1907. In November 2001 she was asked what she wanted for her 94th birthday. "Peace on earth and nice clothes" she replied, with a giggle.
