Monkinetic Weblog

Manila Clipper is really cool. So is Manila Quoter. Both can be found here.

Web geek and proud of it: I just ordered a www sticker today. anyone having spent time in Europe will know where I'm from!

I totally want one of these.

Over in Wes's (Hack The Planet's) discussion group, David McCusker and several other people I'm growing to highly respect are making that DG a daily lurk for me. I am in awe of these minds.

For Jodi, who is researching technology and education sites:

This is a test...

Cooool. I've got Dreamweaver recognizing and icon-izing Frontier macros. It actually took about 5 minutes to figure out. Check it out here: "Macros in Dreamweaver".

Definite link of the day over on "CamBlog" today. SPAM!

More Al links:

The Weird Al portal. HAHA!

Weird Al on Napster (half way down). Now he's got the right attitude!

Aw, shucks

In response to something I wrote in this post, I got this response from Matt Neuberg, wise "Frontier" guru and Author of The Book. Yeesss!

Of course, I think I got it from "Dave". It's stuck with me.

WO!

"Jim" was at WWDC 2000 (I think?), and is all aquiver over WebObjects' new pricing, and I can't wait to hear what he has to say about it!

I've been editing this site with "Pike", and the "CamBlog" with "BLOGGER". Veeeeeery interesting.

Java, XML, etc

"Josh" and I have been corresponding about Java, Turbine, and webMacro. (See yesterday for links.) I'm hoping to learn a lot!

Eaaarrrly...

I love a good thunderstorm. But not on Monday morning. Bleagh.

Man. It's been toooooooo long. I'm finally wrapping up the interminable freelance job, and I realized (actually my wife reminded me) that I haven't blogged here in ages. This had to be fixed!

I have, actually, been blogging some at another site that some co-workers and I put together. I guess I was inspired by the makers of BLOGGER by whose magic the CamBlog came to life one day. Yes, the CamBlog, affectionately titled "GeekTV", is a combo-box of a weblog/webcam. It will soon be added to the template of this site, somewhere...

Speaking of BLOGGER, using it is a completely different experience from using "Manila". It's more... technical. But very powerful in as far as it goes. Blogger does one thing well- Blogs. Manila is much more flexible- it's the CMS face to "Frontier".

"Josh" has gotten "XML-RPC" working in Turbine, an apache/Java/Servlets thing. I'm not sure I understand the recent proliferation of Apache/Java projects recently. Turbine, Cocoon, Jetspeed, WebMacro...

WebMacro looks interesting. I wonder how it might compare to "Frontier"'s template system? In my mind, Frontier set the standard for seperating content and presentation in web systems.

One thing Java needs to get before I can begin to build a truly great system in it: persistent, structured storage. Java could do it, but to be high performance, it would probably have to be native code and interface through JNI. _I bet the purists wouldn't like it.I'm just beginning to get interested in some of this Java+web+xml stuff. Gotta get some free time to explore. _Ha!__

Our home is a 90-year old Victorian; we're slowly making plans to renovate this and that, knocking out some walls and adding others. This article on Ars Technica looks like it'll be really helpful. With Macs in the bedrooms and Linux under the stairs, there'll be joy for everyone!
