bit by bit,
day by day,
i type and code
my life away.
the websites done!
the app’s all run!
but through it all,
sites large and small,
the thought still lurks –
there’s nothing there!
not even air!
just

My Web BETA – Features – Yahoo!

—-

Okay, I like this for me to use with all those neat sites I visit and blog about or bookmark to go back to look at later that I never do.

And I hate it! As a website designer. But if the content is free and drm doesn’t come into the picture I should not a have a problem. But…

I wonder what effect drm will have here? They are talking about outlawing google in canada for cascheing and here Yahoo is talking about saving “copies” of pages you visit for use later?

Gonna have to think about this a bit more.

19 inch PC Rack by TykSak of ModZone.dk

Now here is a guy who probably built his house entirely by hand! I mean, having a 19″ rack in your house with terabytes of storage is one thing, but building the entire thing from scratch (rack, cases, and all) is the sign of a true modder! Or of needing a life…….still, my hat is off to this guy. Wish he lived next door, I’m sure I could talk him into a KILLER mp3 machine for my truck…..

And isn’t it a little funny-this guy builds enough hardware to run a school system on (I know-I work at a school system) and he doesn’t have “Next” and “Back” links on his pages? Hardware oriented, I guess….

A wonderful thing happened 110 years ago today…
…on July 12, 1895 R. Buckminster Fuller arrived on board Spaceship Earth.

Didn’t realize it had been that long. He was born around the same year as my grandfather. Bucky had a unique way of looking at everything. I have read several of his books and articles and he was one of a kind. Here’s to you, Bucky!

This one is interesting. I am posting the Slashdot listing because the comments give a better understanding of what is going on here than anything else I have found on this issue. Apparently several of the slashdotters have known about this for quite a while, and have been in communication with either Intel, or AMD, or both, about this. IANAL, but AMD’s case is looking better all the time. Sabotaging your compiler to make your competitor’s processor run slower than yours may not be against the law, but when you deny it in the face of what the code says, it sure ain’t going to help your monopoly court case.Slashdot | AMD Alleges Intel Compilers Create Slower AMD Code

Hewlett-Packard reinvents the inkjet, and lowers the cost of ink refills. Sounds good, but didn’t other manufacturers have printers that didn’t incorporate the printhead in the ink cartridge? Or is the fact that they can us photolithography to make the entire printhead assembly the breakthrough? IANAE (I Am Not An Engineer), so I can’t really say. Paying less for cartridges sounds good, though, but the printer is more. (Of course)HP Finally Delivers On ‘Invent’ – Forbes.com

Scripting News: 7/11/2005
I’d like Apple to implement an element that says right up front, this feed does not work with iTunes. I’d be the first to put that element in my feed, so that anyone who wants to know why my feed doesn’t work with iTunes need look no further. It doesn’t work with iTunes by design. Please consider that a feature request, Steve.

If you are offended by my harsh language….sorry ’bout that chief. I ain’t done with this blog and chances are it may or may not get more harsh as I continue. It just depends on how pissed I get as I think about it.

The down-and-dirty synopsis…Linux developers are starving to death so they have to get “real” jobs. Now, before you go thinking that I am attacking this author, stop right now. I really like this guy and he is doing what he thinks he needs to do in order to help. I hope it does help, because here and there he has a valid point…but before you go passing the hat for homeless software writers, give me a chance to tell my side of it.
