I was wondering whether Python had the concept of interfaces, like Java does, when it hit me - what I want is a search engine that will let me search using formal analogies, they way they do in the SATs back in high school. "a is to b, as c is to ?" I was really good at those, probably because I think in the abstract very well (and was destined to be a programmer -)). Anyway, I want to ask Google "Show me anything that has the same relationship to Python that Interfaces do to Java".

Working on Mac OS X for the last year and a half, I've come to the following conclusion, again: writers of unix utilities have an interesting idea of "usability" - "Fail Hard, Fail Fast, and Fail Painfully. That way the User more quickly gains the ability to do it right."

Has anyone worked out embedding the mozilla html editor component in a webpage, in place of the usual "textarea"? This would make a lot of webapps/webloggers wery wery happy.

Wil Wheaton in this article:

"I picked dot-net because in the original creation of the Internet, dot-com meant a commercial venture, and dot-net meant a network of people, or a personal thing or organization..."

Over on John Robb's site I made a couple quick comments regarding P2p, personal publishing, and trust among users. Read it there (toward the end of the page - no permalink sorry)

Jeff Archer has started a community weblog/site for Phoenix's East Valley area (including Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert, Scotsdale). If you live in the East valley, check it out!

John Robb wants a P2P photo app:

Sharing photos is still too hard. I can send photos via e-mail or post a couple to the Web, but I can't easily share whole albums with friends and family. What I want is a desktop content management system that lets me organize my photos into albums using a browser interface. I then would like to share these albums with friends and family using P2P.

More fun with Photoshop, and a digital camera:

Anita Rowland linked to a page of anagrams of her name. It's LONG. My list is very short, and the only non-nonsensical result is my actual name. If I add in the seldom used (for me) 'n' in Steven, I at least get "Seventy IV" and "Seventy VI", which is kinda cool.

I'd never used MPW, so when I (almost accidentally) opened up one of BBEdit's new Shell Worksheets, I was a bit perplexed as to what I was looking at. It looked like a lot of text - a document - but there were commands in there as well - and the type of document I was looking at suggested that you could do something with them. Indeed, say the instructions - put the cursor at the end of one of the lines containing a shell command, and BBEdit AutoMagically behind the scenes runs the command in a shell, and dumps the output right into your document. OMG. This is... amazing. Hm. Combine this with a command-line xmlrpc client, and strange (and frightening?) things could happen... Muahahaha -)
