Another birds eye view of Userland's products. This helps bring clarity for people like me. .< 11:08:05 PM  > If given a lot of thought to Michael Fraase's discussion of RCS. He's a customer and a user of our software. He likes Manila. How can I argue with that? Manila is cool because you can plop it on a LAN behind your firewall and give everyone their own site. If they can access the LAN from their laptop when they're offsite, they can update their workgroup notepad very easily. With modern hardware a single $2K machine with $899 of software can easily support a few thousand writers. It's a bargain, just a little investment and boom you've got a great Intranet.  [Scripting News]I'm posting this because it contains a brief but powerful description of what Manila (which is a part of Frontier) is capable of. I wish we could tap someone whre I work to champion this technology. .< 2:48:33 AM >ie 5 bug? Or is there something funky with my page. If I look at this page http://radio.weblogs.com/0102095/categories/thingsuserland/2002/03/09.html in ie 5 on Mac OS X, the second item ("Attention Radio Fans!) is indented, apparently in a blockquote. But in OmniWeb 4, it's fine.
I haven't seen this behaviour before I switched templates. I wonder if it's a css thing or something to do with this particular template. The four-disc set represents one major orchestra's attempt to rescue its recorded legacy from the control of those clueless executives at the major companies who are squeezing out the classical divisions." They've sold 30, 000 copies of a 4 CD set. Amazing. We're talking about an opera. Many of those sales have been online. .< 1:57:15 AM >Arts Awaken After the Taliban. New York Times Mar 10 2002 0:15AM ET [Moreover - Arts and culture news] I had come to Afghanistan to see what remained of the country's culture after the depredations of the Taliban and the devastation of war. And I was astonished to find, amid the bombed-out ruins of Kabul, an artistic community that was not only optimistic but exuberant. Everyone I talked to had extraordinary stories to tell about the Taliban era, but they had survived that time surprisingly well, and were taking up much where they had left off. You would think from the Western news reports that Kabul is populated only by desperate peasants, many of them warlike, and government bureaucrats and soldiers. In fact, Kabul also has a population of cultured, soigné Afghans, some of whom stayed through the Taliban years, some of whom have flooded back into the country from self-imposed exile. A long (for the web, less so in print) and powerful article. There's a slide show as well. .< 1:49:12 AM >No guns in Canada for U.S. customs agents. Toronto Star Online Mar 8 2002 9:51PM ET [Moreover - moreover...] Those agents will not be armed when they begin work in Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax on March 25, as Canada had insisted that U.S. agents posted at the ports forgo their usual habit of carrying sidearms. Good. .< 1:46:55 AM >Thestar.com/Quebec puts brakes on red light turns: "Quebec will postpone a plan to allow right turns on most red lights in the province after meeting with a coalition concerned about the risk of accident and injury" It took me a while after moving out of Québec to get used to the idea that I could turn right on reds. .< 1:34:50 AM >Apple posts new iMac "Window" ad [MacNN] The official version is up. I downloaded the quickie fan posted version the night it aired. I thought it was fun. .< 1:33:12 AM >O’Reilly: Apache Web-Serving With Mac OS X, Part 5. On installing and developing with MySQL and PHP. [mac.scripting.com] .< 1:30:14 AM >NATIONAL POST ONLINE | Canadian firm aids quick cleanup at Ground Zero: "The box contains a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, which uses satellite signals to determine the location of each truck and a transmitter to send that information to a computer control centre near the Manhattan site.
"They were a little skeptical about the GPS -- there was a feeling that it was just another gizmo," Mr. Shalmon said. "Then we showed them what we could do and they were amazed."
" Looks interesting. Site requires registration. Maybe one day. Too much to do right now. .< 12:59:41 AM >Televison and Computer Set for Digital Photo Battle [NyTimes - Technology] .< 12:52:54 AM >Krell rolls out big power amplifiers in the UK. Gramophone Mar 9 2002 0:52AM ET [Moreover - Arts and culture news] Those are big amps! Reminds me of something. |
