Other stuff... News.com: Netscape's JavaScript is declared a standard. Borland, Sun and Microsoft contribute to the spec. Yesterday was a big hit day on Scripting News. Makes sense. But I thought most of the hits would be on Java-related pages. Not true. Looking at yesterday's log digest, the top story was Brent's piece on Connectix Virtual PC for the Mac. That was a surprise! Everyone who wants to understand high-tech marketing in 1997 should read Marketing Warfare. Let's also take a look at where we were in the summer of 1995 just before Windows 95 launched. | |||

The Scripting News page gets a column of callouts down the left edge. I'm using this space for permanent messages that don't scroll, and to allow a new way to flow small bits of graphics thru the page. Get the source at the fat pages site. More Java opinions in Doc Searls on Conversations. Just-in-time search engines: NewBot -- June Report. DaveNet: Making Sense of Java. Brent Simmons on Virtual PC for the Mac. How to choose the perfect PC. (Great use of Flash 2.0.) NewsHub appears to be a just-in-time search engine. News.com: Microsoft is adding Castanet-like features to IE 4.0. The WebMonkey man named Taylor hates tables! (Me too...) "Honesty is the best policy," said George Burns. "If you can fake that, you got it made." | |||

DaveNet: LineTo MoveTo. Steve Wozniak on Web Graphics. Tomorrow or Thursday: Rally Against Internet Censorship in SF. Do you read German? If so, check out this review of Frontier in c't. New scripting.com feature: Special Stories Site. It's a reverse-chronologic list of the special stories, dating back to 2/8/97. The page is rebuilt every night at 2AM so it will stay current automatically. The source for the macro that generates this page is on the fat pages site. This is cooool! Turtle graphics in a CGI application. From MIT's Media Lab: Turtle graphics for Java. Inside Macintosh: Chapter 2 - Basic QuickDraw. 6/9/97: Macromedia Flash. "It's a pure branding play" says Scott Guthery on Java. Is Java write-once, run-anywhere? PC Magazine says no.

The text-gifs are still there, but microsoft.com is back on the air with an explanation. The most popular pages on www.scripting.com. This report is updated every night at 2AM. The site changes file is rebuilt every night at 12:01AM. It lists all the pages that changed in each 24-hour period going back to 4/29/97. We think this is a more rational approach than CDF or MCF for telling crawlers what changed on a site. It's low tech, and it gives the crawler exactly the information it needs. We provide full source code for the suite that maintains this file. It's Mac-only, but it can easily manage NT sites accessible over a LAN thru file sharing. | |

DaveNet: Thirty Miles of Air. News.com: Georgia and New York courts rule in favor of free speech on the Internet. MacWEEK: reviews Virtual PC; Quark gets ready to upgrade QPS. I think it's interesting that Apple is bundling Pointcast and Castanet in Mac OS 8, two bits of Mac software that are at best equivalent to their Windows versions; and are not bundling the native PowerMac Frontier, which is far ahead of its Win32 implementation. We've been open to discuss this with Apple, have invited such discussion many times over many years. Scripting News June Design Update. The latest rage: Internet auction sites. Scripting News redesign: Matt Daw. According to www.news.com, Microsoft's web server is buckling under an increasing load. Now would be a good time to scrape off all those bandwidth-wasting bits of gif-text. Look at the link-bar at the top of this page for an example of a low-resource way to provide a consistent set of links. | |
