Synthetic Morpheme Christopher Taylor's editorials on Science, Technology, Salsa dancing and more ![]() Scott Loftesness has a number of pages on his weblog that he uses to track links and postings on topics of interest to him. After seeing one of these pages [Living with Groove] I decided that I really liked the concept and have just started one of my own [P2P Download Solutions]. One of the main reasons I keep a weblog is to keep track of things that are of interest to me. Combining the standard reverse-chronological format of weblogs with this topical page approach is a winning concept. I liked what he has done so much, that I am even stealing his format for titling these topical pages. Hope you don't mind, Scott <grin/>. 6:02:17 PM
![]() Today, I went to CNET's download.com to get a copy of Trillian. After searching for the application, CNET presented me with a download page. But, I noticed something on the page that I hadn't noticed before. In addition to the standard "Download Now" link that I have become accustomed to seeing on the page, there was a link called "Fast Download". I decided to try it out and what it turned out to be was a download manager provided by Kontiki.
Maybe everyone isn't happy, but I think this type of application is absolutely something that should be on everyone's computer. However, paying money to some company for the honor of providing the service may not be the way to go. But this or something like BitTorrent will eventually be used for nearly every download on the web. 5:51:34 PM This is an excert from a email I received today: Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? I did a little Google search and found a much longer version [chickenjoke.com]. 2:28:58 PM
