Oh wow! splorp.blog has been updating and I missed it! May it never be! The truth is, Grant had not pinged weblogs.com I think, and my Trackerpane had not picked it up.

Happy happy joy joy!

This is excellent news. The Woz is starting a new company ("Wheels of Zeus", aka "wOz")to make wireless consumer handhelds, to "help everyday people track everyday things".

Good luck, Woz!

Dave linked to my comment about IDL in non-typed scripting environments, which is cool. I know I've gotten 50 or so hits from it. The link is appreciated - flow is nice. But I'd also like to know what Dave thinks of my idea, since it's relevant to his work and that of others in the scripting community.

I think sometimes we bloggers get on a roll, linking and blurbing, and it's easy to link to something in a very neutral "here it is, I have no opinion" manner. This is not a knock on Dave at all, it's something I do a good bit, and have seen many others do.

Maybe we need to take stock, and put a little more effort to make sure the "personal" shows up in our "personal web sites".

David P. Reed is discussing some fundemental questions about the process of dividing up the radio spectrum to provide "non-interference" between electromagnetic devices.

As is often the case, this great quote applies simultanously to technology and human behavior:

And the basic question of the limits on "spectrum capacity", as a scientific question, is slowly developing answers - surprising ones. It turns out that network cooperation increases capacity.

Techno-Weenie has a proposal for a Common XML-RPC API for Weblogs. While I tend to think of such things as a good idea, in this case I think the API is too specific to Blogger and Manila - the two largest blog hosting services.

I've been working on something fun for RadioConversant. ;-)

Todd Gureckis has a cool photography-based weblog, including comments on each photo. Very cool. Also check out his well-designed main site here.

I like finding new ways that people are branching the weblog concept.

I've started working on some enhancements to Radio Conversant.

Unfortunately, due to the recent discovery of an AIM exploit, our firewall admin has closed off AIM. Smart move, except that the exploit is specific to the Windows version of the AOL Instant Messenger client - not clones, and not on non-Windows machines. I, on the other hand, use Adium on Mac OS X.

Therefore, for now, if you need to get ahold of me you can use email.

I just saw on Conversant's support site that Conversant is not tied directly to Frontier's object database for storing data. Instead, Macrobyte has written a database access layer and driver architecture to abstract that away from the groupware app itself.

Of Radio Conversant. Please stand by.

Via more like this, a good explanation of why HTML clicked for me, and later on, for Jodi. "In WordPerfect you could "reveal codes" and fix things that weren't quite right. "

Through an interesting twist of link I ended up on the old Script Meridian website today. For old times sake I trawled throught DOODADS, and came across what is probably the last Frontier script I ever released. Load Regexed Images would let you give it a regex to apply to a folder of images, and load any image that matched the regex into Frontier's object database. I was hacking Frontier a lot back then - 8/7/1998. (Background)

I have a quandry: Jodi and I have been invited to a friends house for dinner tonight with a bunch of other people (many of whom I'm thinking we will not know). I think it might be fun to go, but I don't do extended social engagements as well as Jodi does. I'm more inclined to go bouldering at my favorite rock house. What to do?

You'll enjoy this. Quicktime, 2 mb.

On another topic, Dori says "The answer seems to be in Apple support document #14449, [...] No direct link from here, unfortunately, because [...] WebObjects sucks."

Overheard at work today: "There is no way in hell I'm touching [that] code."

Tom Negrino at Backup Brain, to whom I think I have never linked, has some great tidbits about the iPod from Macworld: "We're nowhere near maxing out the power of the iPod's hardware."
