Soulwax - More Than This: "Working hard putting the skin on baloney."

From Apple's OSX Public Beta - Extreme Internet page:

I am dead tired. My bout with dental pain last night drained me, on top of depriving me of three hours of much needed rest. Concentration is difficult.

Hi- if you want to see me at work, check out my webcam. See ya round the 'net!

I'm home from the dentist, one incisor's nerve poorer, and just took my first dose of Vicodin. If you've ever been on Vicodin, you'll know that I'm expecting to lose interest in typing soon, so I'm going to post while I can.

mmmm, feeling good.

XMLMag:

"The important thing about XML is that it means that your software can be replaced. Now this may not sound like an advantage, unless you work for a software vendor who's being sued for antitrust, but it actually is an advantage for everyone. Because users have choice, there are fewer reasons for them to wait. And we can have diversity. Not only will there be desktop editing tools for Windows, but there will be equivalent tools for people who use Macs. Maybe someday Unix will be a great writing platform, or maybe something revolutionary and wonderful will come along that no one has ever heard of that you'll want to use to edit your Web site. In the software business you never can tell what's coming next, and with open interfaces the new things can easily be compatible with the old. " I've been selling this idea for 3 years - Dave says it well.

Welcome to my new conversant site. Ok, it's actually an old site. I started this site a while back when looking into conversant, and here I am again!

Interesting conversation with "Jim Roepcke" about writing CMSes this morning on AIM. Lots of issues involved - more than most people realize.

I'm using Conversant's builtin NNTP server to post this message. NNTP isn't a complicated protocol, but it's rare to see this level of integration in a Content Management System. Hats off to Seth Dillingham and Macrobyte Resources for their work and creativity.

Conversant is pretty powerful. Confusing at times, but powerful. I changed templates on this page, now I get a weblog editting form on my home page. Yay!

Day two on the new Redmonk Conversant-powered weblog. So far my day sucks, starting at 2 am this morning when I awoke with a throbbing pain in a tooth. It kept me up til almost 5 am. So now I have an appointment for a root canal this afternoon. Ugh.
