MarkPasc courteously provides this option for subscribers: Content or Headline.

Top left: the Headline markpasc.org feed conserves vertical space in my aggregator . The words are small in number but well chosen. Below left: the Content markpasc.org uses the more traditional structure: title plus body.

Ansel Adams' "Zone System" is all about manipulating contrast curves to capture the shadow detail and the highlight detail, and when the scene was too high contrast, to consciously decide what throw away. * If it doesn't have a histogram feature, make friends with the closest thing you've got...

 New Version of DB2

Winners, losers in IBM database revamp. A new version of IBM's DB2 database looks likely to be a mixed blessing for customers: Midsize businesses could find a bargain, while big companies may wind up paying more for the software.

Radio wishlist: automated referers harvesting. Does anyone know of a simple way of automatically storing (or e-mailing) my list of referers every day just before they are reset, so I can look at them when I have the time?

Mark Paschal is highlighting the new Pro version of the popular Trillian instant messaging software. [snip]

The IM "giants" had better get their butts in gear and their heads out of the sand. Or not.
