Adam Cadre’s Little-Lytton contest, like its bigger brother the Bulwer-Lytton. [By way of Zarfhome]

Apparently the PATH train riders will have zoetrope motion picture advertisements through their windows [by way of Fox 5 Ten O’Clock News]. Does that mean I wish I could get up early enough to take the PATH and get to work on time? No.

I am a media junkie. I ran a Google search on this title, and nothing came up!

Anyway, though I struggle to become a realized, self-actualized individual who expresses his creative energies effectively, I still find myself surrounded by entertainment media of mediocre quality. In a word, crap. There is some good stuff, I’ll allow, but for the most part, I find myself hostage to crap. A large measure of my efforts to create is to help free myself of other people’s crap. If I must suffer crap, at least let it be mine own!

So, “Hostage to Crap!” A category that collects my encounters with media of any quality, of any form—books, music, motion pictures, plastic arts, imagery, poetry, speech, &c. I’m going through my old posts to recategorize anything about media to this category, so this will not be the first post.

Ugh. Dealing with DLLs to support gzip transfers in Rational. Quick stopgap solution, not quite done.

Bandwidth test using bulk uploads and downloads. In case I ever forget.

I still have some quibbles with OmniWeb, I guess. Why can’t you select the whole document? Why can’t you print a selection? Why can’t you save a page and its objects in a single file, say, in the tar format, and browse through it?

I ought to be sleeping seeing as I am working tomorrow. But I just had to post this, a rendition of Star Wars on telnet. Found by way of GranneWeb. Also there: a link to a data atlas.
