Microdoc: "The way we have developed the Internet is creating the biggest economic, social and cultural time-bomb of the century."  Jake: "The WYSIWYG editor for Mozilla has been released for both Radio and Manila." Stateline.Org: Bloggers Train Sites On State Governments. Halley Suitt: "I've just published a piece on blogging in Harvard Business Review." Congrats! Steve Gillmor: "What I'm really looking for is a private Google, where I can find random notes without exposing them publicly." 2/3/02: "An easy to install HTTP server that communicates with the mother ship via XML and can search the local area network as effectively as the whole Internet." Michael Feldman: "I almost came out and told you about the little voice inside my head whispering insistently that, finally, this was the year." 11/24/01: "Red Sox fans must know, by now, that it ain't gonna happen."  Reuters: "Computer security experts raced to beat the clock Friday as the super-potent Sobig.F e-mail virus threatened to unleash a crippling barrage of data across the Internet." Register: "The prolific mass-mailing Sobig-F email worm, which has flooded computer users this week, could attempt to download a Trojan horse tonight, anti-virus companies are warning."  I'll be in San Francisco Thursday through Saturday, for a brief business trip and a visit with a couple of friends. This time I'll be staying in the city. I'll have a car. Maybe a Chinese dinner at Henry's Hunan on Saturday, August 30? Chris, you want to co-host? (Just my luck he'll be in LA.) My email is still not working very well, although Eudora is much better at handling errors than Outlook Express. I may actually be able to start communicating via email again soon. Also I got an incredible fare via hotwire.com, including car and hotel, on American Airlines and Budget car rental. Total price including four nights at a first class hotel, $915. Amazing. I had checked out American Airlines first, and the round trip alone was $2300. Chris Lydon has three audio excerpts from the Howard Dean presentation on Wednesday night in Manchester. I've included each of the audio excerpts below as enclosures, in today's Scripting News RSS feed. Enclosure-aware aggregators will automatically download them so you don't have to wait for them to download. 1. Dean's 24-minute talk, in its entirety. 2. Q&A with the candidate. 3. Chris's "open ended sampling" of the crowd. I've started a list of aggregators that understand RSS enclosures. Right now I only know of two, but I hope that changes soon. Enclosures are, imho, a really big part of where RSS will go. Phil Wolff's "plant requirements" for BloggerCon, in response to Bob Doyle's message that the Pound Hall rooms don't have WiFi. They will, one way or another. I hope Wendy and Robyn can see this, because (per the post below) my email is totally broken. Email is still broken. I'm trying Eudora, it seems to work a little better than Outlook Express, but of course it's totally strange and all my filters are gone. It doesn't work better enough to use it instead of Outlook. The solution may be switching to Fastmail. In the meantime I'm missing boatloads of email. Thanks for all the great tips in the comments on last night's message. If you're trying to dig out of the quagmire, you may find some good advice here. Adam Curry: "This is where we get to sneak RSS into the email jet-wash." The only people I can communicate with are people who send and receive over RSS. Adam will probably see my comment on his post in about 40 minutes or so in his aggregator. Adam reports that the spam-free test worked. Bing. We communicated without seeing a single spam or virus-generated email. Just like the good old days, before email melted and evaporated. |
