CNN: House debate on impeachment begins. Phil Suh wants to gather info about national dial-up ISPs. The alternate home page has an Xmas tree too! Frontier users: We're working on the scheduler and COM scripting today. Dale Dougherty: Closing out the Web Year. In 1993, we released a free Mac system extension called IdleTime, so scripts could tell how long it had been since there was user interaction, either a keystroke, mouse click or disk insert. This made it possible to write script applications that behaved like screen savers. In 1997, AOL asked if they could bundle IdleTime with their Mac client, and then earlier this year Netscape asked if they could bundle it with Navigator. Both times we said yes, with no payment, because we felt that this feature should be as ubiquitous as possible. We get a lot of questions about IdleTime, as you might imagine. Anyway, there were some problems reported with Mac OS 8.5, and Dave Ely, who worked on IdleTime for a while, has picked up the ball. Thanks Dave! NY Times: World governments expand restrictions on the Internet. "The world's newest form of mass communication is under attack around the globe from laws, policies and police actions seeking to restrict content."
