Song for Blink 182
Brilliant, bloody brilliant. Now everyone join in on the chorus… I’m in love with the X10 girl…

Index of /pub/netscape7/english/7.0
Forget about getting anything else accomplished this afternoon. There’s yet another browser to stuff into the closet arsenal. Indeed, Netscape 7.0 has been freed from engineering and is ready to wipe its feet on your mousepad. If you’ve already been fiddling with the 7.0 preview and all of its chewy tabbed window goodness, it’s recommended … More

Newton tootin’.
Two quick pointers to articles that appear on Wired News this morning. Apple’s Newton Just Won’t Drop relates a fairly accurate description of the energy and enthusiasm that still exists in the Newton community. Aside from a couple of minor technical glitches (the top-end MessagePad 2100 uses a 162-MHz processor, not a 20-MHz), this story … More

Say what?
Dongle required urgently, plus waffle! A great album title in the making? Or an example of the broken English you’d find in some random piece of spam. Neither, I’m afraid. In fact, it’s a strangely poetic subject line that somehow still relates to a message posted on the NewtonTalk mailing list. It caught my attention … More

And of course, thanks … More

Gro(w)in pains.
It’s been nearly three days since I attempted to play a racquet sport that vaguely resembled tennis. I know it’s been three days because my groinal area is currently aching in places that it should not be aching. These places should not even be aware that they are capable of aching in the first place. … More

Available domain name of the week. Now 20% fluffier!
Let us begin. The available domain name of the week just happens to be teledemic.com. Not exactly your cup of nom de plume tea? Well, I’ll let you in on a special deal.

The missing links.
It was news to me, but it explained more than a couple of gaps in my server statistics over the past few months. Apparently, when you copy a WebStar log file using FTP, WebStar thinks the file is busy during the session and stops writing to it. This would be fine as long as WebStar … More
