This is great. And somewhat unbelievable. Talk about needing a visit from The Cluetrain.

This is so cool.

"The Piranha feature in Paradise brings easy to use Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing to networks of Mac OS X machines. Piranha delivers performance and throughput gains by tapping into the huge reserves of computational power that is available on most networks. As new computational tasks come and go, Piranha automatically and transparently allocates computational resources to meet the changing demand."

NetworkWorldFusion: Don't overspend on application server technology. Webobjects is still only $699. ;-)

I've been wanting a new look for this site for a while, now I have one! The weblog is the only page for now with the new look (changing a whole site in Conversant is a real task!) but eventually I'll get the whole thing moved over.

Daneba has Carbonized their Canvas drawing program. I'm installing it now. Macromedia's port of FreeHand sucks. IT's slow and of questionable usefulness. Adobe is MIA. So far Canvas (which I just launched) seems fast. I've heard for some time that Canvas had some really powerful features. Looks good so far.

I'm going to get into serious deep shit here I think, but I've been thinking a lot recently about the situation in Isreal and Palestine.

Do you suppose you might know why I'm linking to this?

I thought of an interesting idea last night, while reading The Cluetrain. The web is all about linking away from your own site. So I thought of the way Google ranks sites based on the number of in-bound links from other sites, so...

Ahhhh, vacations are for reading. Jodi and I went out to the beach for the long weekend to hang out with her parents, down from D.C. and renting a beachhouse. On our way we stopped at the library where I got copies of The Cluetrain Manifesto and Henry V. I finished Henry V, and got 2/3 of the way through the Cluetrain. It really is a great book, though not what I was expecting. And Shakespeare... he is truly a master. Jodi and I also read some more of The Hobbit (which she had never read) and I read 2/3 of a 1972 Jack Trevanian spy thriller which was lying around the house.

I don't know how much longer Redmonk.Net is going to be on the air. I managed to postpone re-registering the domain, not it has expired. I tried to transfer the domain to Dotster, and got this response from the transfer request to NetSol:
