Jodi talks about the new house we just signed a contract on (woo-hoo!), and laments the lack of information on the site for our previous house. Sorry folks, that's the way it happens sometimes.

Seriously - as Jodi asays, we'll try and get some pics up somewhere of the old place, and of the new place once we're moving in. It's a great place, and we got a good deal on it.

For future reference, I've archived the post about non-typed languages and IDL here.

Apple has posted a wrapup of Mac OS X-related announcements from NAMM, a "bi-annual musical markets convention" in LA. Looks like some cool stuff going on.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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. "

Quick Note: I fixed the "replies" info on weblog posts, so it now includes direct replies to the post, and their replies.

NetStruxr has put out a new release of their excellent WebObjects 4.5 frameworks.
