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
bit
by
bit

Treehugger: DEFRA Study About Impact of ‘Food Miles’

—-

Glad to see this. It gives some validity to things I have suspected for years. Over 9 billion a year in just transportation costs in England alone. Not to mention the pollution…

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.

MDI – The air car – lifestyle, economy, ecology – Homepage

—

If this is real (and i wonder?) it’s almost too good to be true. A roughly $11,000 air powered car that will travel at up to 68 mph and has a range of 124 miles on a charge. 2 minutes at a garage air pump or 2 to 3 hours on a 220 v connection.

This is just weird. French though. Which may explain it. 😉

Green Power from Chicken Litter

This is good news for both the power companies as well as the poultry producers.

I’d like to see small farm sized co-generation setups for all types of livestock waste disposal.

Cool product. In a couple of senses…

Out of box thinking on the design. Not sure about the materials. The wings (side supports?) look like they are bending quite a bit in the picture.

Had all the sites go down again this morning. Same database problem as yesterday. Went to the mySQL site and looked it up and was throwing a device out of space code. The host got back to me a bit later and said that the /tmp directory was full as they were doing an account restore. I’ll buy that once in a while. Twice in two days is a bit much. Especially as the outage today was over an hour and closer to two. Do not like that. Especially as I am working on adding another 2 sites to the group…

I’d like to know this too before I install this update. Getting more and more skittish about apple updates that turn into downgrades that add more drm restrictions…
