Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

The first public release of ODB Engine 1.0b6. Yes, it's cross-platform. Wow! (A milestone.)

Quark Publishing System -- is this the prototype for a web publishing system implemented in Frontier? Please send email to webmaster@scripting.com if you have experience with QPS. Thanks!

CPAN is to PERL what the LTODBS is to Frontier.

Jesse Berst: Controversy Clouds Java's Future.

Three DaveNet pieces from April: "Hail Mary!", "Hail This!" and "Bill Gates on Java". (I guess Java inspires football analogies.)

New Frontier sites: Calvary Presbyterian Church, Barreau du Québec, The Pixel Pen.

It seems like I'm pointing to HotWired's Packet channel every day. Today's piece by Simson Garfinkel is an invaluble explanation of how MAE West works. Our ISP, Conxion, is linked into MAE West, which means that DaveNet and Scripting News come thru the MAE system (I think...).

ZipIt is a Macintosh program that zips and unzips archives in a format fully compatible with PKZip for the IBM and zip implementations on other systems. It's vastly easier to use than the Windows equivalent program, WinZip, which is a dauntingly complex maze of wizards and vacuous help files.

ZipMagic -- use zip files without unzipping them. (Windows)
