Strategic Programming The Essence of Strategic Programming. Sub-titled "An inquiry into trans-paradigmatic genericity." [...] [Lambda the Ultimate] Looks interesting. I wonder how one would go about applying Genetic Programming to Strategic Programming (i.e. evolving strategies). Could be interesting. 6:42:13 PM

New Flash Macromedia has released a technote on the changes .... Macromedia has released a technote on the changes in the lastest Flash player. It's a pretty impressive list. [via Mesh] [protocol7] Flash is now scriptable within Mozilla, as it now supports XPConnect. Part of me thinks that flash is a great thing, it looks purty, it can be made to do useful UI things, the other half of me runs screaming from the lack of ability to easily create dynamic flash animations. And part of me just laughs at the various Switch flash animations. :) 6:37:12 PM

Spoofs, anonymous "drunkgamers.com switch parody" [Daypop Top 40] Another cool take on the Apple Switch campaign. Heh. 5:53:02 PM

DomAPI It's been a while since I last played with DHTML (or was that dHTML? ;), so I was intrigued to see how far things have come with api's like DomAPI. In short, things certainly have changed. 4:50:21 PM

More SVG stuff European comics in SVG. The Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) has opened its SVG-powered virtual exhibition dedicated to the "Masters of European comics". [xmlhack] Interesting goings on SVG land. Also have a look at XMLhack's Insatiable SVG article. Very interesting stuff indeed. Here's hoping Mozilla does SVG soon ... 2:03:09 PM

Example collecting A cool example of what you can do with javascript from Sjoerd Visscher's weblog. I think i will have to pull that apart sooner or later. 1:48:03 PM

Mozilla App Coding Creating Applications with Mozilla. Coming in September from O'Reilly: Creating Applications with Mozilla Creating Applications with Mozilla explains how applications are created with Mozilla [Blogzilla - a blog about Mozilla] Looks like I get my wish for a Mozilla coding book. It's on the wish list. ;) 1:38:10 PM

Apache.NET .NET for Apache [Slashdot] *blink* That caught me off guard. 12:28:04 PM

Jelly Build Instructions Current build instructions.... Right now there is no release of Jelly so the best way of working with Jelly right now is from... [jelly] I'll hopefull get a chance to do a build this coming weekend. Unless I get dragged kicking and screaming for a weekend away with the better half. Heh. 12:01:42 PM

Synchronicity My New Scanners Are In! My New Scanners Are In!. Is the Internet cool or what? On Wednesday I made a post about a personal library app. [Blunt Force Trauma] A post about a peice of software that can take a feed from a CueCat to catalogue your books/videos/cds. All this just a day after joshing around about needing a Book XML for sharing library info. Too scary. 12:00:14 PM

Marks Accessibility WebBook Mark Pilgrim's series of articles about accessibility becomes a Web-based book. [Scripting News] I suspect this is going to be really useful in an upcoming project that I am going to have to do for uni. Good for beating up second years with. :) 11:56:10 AM

JPublish JPublish 1.0. Anthony has put up JPublish 1.0 (also see TSS thread). It's like a simple CMS I think. I'm not sure I really get the free energy part of it. More reading to do. [rebelutionary] A CMS architecture that lets me use Velocity and Jython? Sweeeeeet 11:53:52 AM

Spin the revolver gimp!. amusing [/0] I lost. It's addictive tho. :) 11:50:59 AM

Java 1.5 is looking good JSR-166 - Concurrency Utilities. Doug Lea provides information and implementations related to JSR-166. The design is similar (surprise surprise) to the library discussed in Lea's book. It is interesting to compare these 'concurrency utilities' with facilities found in other languages (e.g., Ada). Seeing as I am interested in collection libraries, I wanted to see how collections are handled. Compare the initial aims and scope of JSR-166 with the implementations found in Lea's original library. [Lambda the Ultimate] Looks like Java 1.5 could be an interesting language - if both this concurrency library and the generics make it in ... hoooboy. 11:50:08 AM

Train wrecks Brett Morgan comments on Building Business Relationships via the Blog: While I do think Blogs are an amazing business tool (I'm explore daily what they can do for my business relationships) - I'm not sure they will bring down BigCo [rebelutionary] I should have known my tendencies to go vaudevillian would take me too far. Well, let me just say, that if the introduction of blogs into BigCo's cuts down on the amount of left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, then blogs will have payed for themselves ten times over. I suspect I have spent too much time in the last two years in BigCos watching the train wreck happen again and again and again. 12:13:14 AM
