Interesting. Disruptive technology. The idea (I think) is that when a disruptive (new challenge to existing market) product comes along, both the old and new products grow a new, larger market for a time. .< 6:26:05 PM  >MacInstruct: Interactive Unix Tutorial. Via MacScripter.net. [mac.scripting.com]"This tutorial will help you get to know the Unix side of OS X." How cool is this? A free downloadable interactive Unix tutorial for Mac heads! .< 6:22:42 PM >Chicago Tribune | Life Savers takes business to Canada over sugar costs: "The exit of Life Savers could loom larger as an issue as the U.S. Senate revisits the farm bill, the jealously guarded larder of agriculture tariffs and subsidies that, in the case of sugar, are directly responsible for sugar costing roughly twice as much in the U.S. as it does in Canada and Mexico." Gosh. I thought Canada was the place with all the tariffs and subsidies that American business cried foul over. .< 3:00:29 PM >It looks as though I'll be getting a new Sonic HD system of the studio here. This is very exciting for me. And a little birdy told me that Sonic will be announcing support for DSD within a month. There will be a daughter card which you purchase to add the functionality to the HD system. This is really great news. I don't know if we'll end up doing DSD but it's good to know that the option will be there without making a huge reinvestment in hardware.
Happy, happy. An article suggesting that Apple be more agressive in promoting its new OS to Unix geeks. To be honest I think this is going to happen even without Apple making the effort. .< 11:59:52 AM >British reporters ambushed in Ontario town. National Post Online Jan 30 2002 1:42AM ET [Canada news] Excellent! Pelted them with snowballs, it says. .< 12:57:23 AM >Andy Fragen's PrintOutline Tool: It takes an outline, runs it thru a renderer (you can override the default, by specifying which one -- you could even write your own renderer, if you stare at the code of the other renderers long enough). [Robert Scoble: Scoble's Radio UserLand 8.0 Weblog] This goes in the "tools we use" list. .< 12:24:18 AM >I'm starting to think about how I can use the categories function in Radio 8 more effectively. With Radio 7 I always thought of categories as a way for me to organize my postings so I could find things later. But that's not very effective. I now realize I should organize things according to other peoples interests. For example, rather than use my Family category for postings about family, I should be using it for postings and news stories which I think membvers of my family might be interested in reading. This way they could just check into that page and not have to dig through all my nattering about geeky stuff like Radio 8!
This will bve a real change from how I''ve done things up to now. I'm going to change my categories and my posting habits.
Great. This makes it much easier to post from sites I stumble across, almost as easy as posting from Radio's news aggregator. The bonus is I can quote what I want to quote and I'm less likely to be posting what everyone else is posting.
What a mess. |
