Jeffey Veen says..... it's time to for
an update
08/17/2004 03:24 PM

Jeffrey Veen brings up the fact that much of what we're seeing going right now - has happened before.

Email is the 'activity' that Jeffrey remembers as the big thing - way back in '97-98.

I remember it as 'multimedia' in the early 90's.

Others might harken back to the days of PIMs or spreadsheets.

But clearly RSS aggregators have made it to mainstream. I'm sitting here in a coffee house in Grand Haven, Michigan - and we're discussing hosted versus client side blogging and aggregating.

So just to be clear - a main reason I'm doing the micro-content roadshow is to help foster and promotye new kinds of micro-content - which will need aggregators to read them, new tools to produce them and standards organization to help promulgate them.

That's what I'm all about. Getting new kinds of micro-content to flow like blog posts are now.

Here's Jeffrey's post......

Years ago, I remember hearing a quote attributed to former Netscape engineer Jamie Zawinski that went something like, "All software expands until it can read email." I'm sure he was referring to the exponential growth in size of his company's Web software -- something that was inevitable, since they were trying to position the browser as just a component in a much larger Web platform. I'm not sure if JWZ actually said that, since I could find no trace of it on his site (update: here it is). But he certainly is quoted as saying it a lot.

I mention this because I think it's time for an update. If things keep going at the pace there are, all software will expand until it can aggregate RSS feeds.

I can't believe how much I love FuzzyClock. If you've never heard of it, it's a simple app that puts the current time into natural language. So instead of 2:53 it will say "ten til three." At first I thought the lack of accuracy could be a problem, but I've got lots of meetings and have never been late (just wait until it says "shortly before eleven" and you'll be on time for it). Here is what it looks like on my current menu bar (also running: audioscrobbler, slimbattery, and instiki).

On the surface, it simply saves you a half-second of converting the numbers 3:41 into "about twenty to four" in your head, but in practice it removes a small mental tax you put yourself through dozens-to-over-a-hundred times per day. After months of running this app in place of the standard clock (I disabled it in my OS prefs and run fuzzyclock on startup), I feel liberated in a small way. I've spent my life surrounded by clocks and never realized how much easier it is to read "half past twelve" than reading numbers.

Last week, I noticed Flickr does timestamps on comments this way, which is a great idea and something I should really do at metafilter. Someone's already written a function for it in PHP, I'm sure it'll be a MT plugin soon, if it isn't already.


Loving iLife


Loving iLife 03/06/2004 01:55 AM
Reviewing iLife 04, Matthew Fordahl writes for Associated Press, For me, the suite would be a bargain even at twice the price. Its newest addition is an addictive music-creation program. Called GarageBand, it is simple enough for those of us whove never touched a keyboard or strummed a guitar yet advanced enough to appeal to a polished practitioner. [Mar 1]

Loving the Mambo


Loving the Mambo 05/28/2004 06:38 PM
Submission by David Shamoon Two thumbs up for Mambo. I'm experienced with a few different CMSs and decided to try Mambo because I was building a site on a site that had a lot of limitations (one database and no access to the php.ini). What a relief it was to use. Finally something that breaks the Nuke mold. Its really slick and easy to hand off to non-technical people. You dont have to disable a lot of features that youll never use.

Loving and Hating iTunes


Loving and Hating iTunes 12/19/2003 11:54 AM
A new PC World music column explores iTunes and how it changed the world of digital music. Stressing the superiority of iTunes for Windows over many competitors, the article does mention several concerns. One such issue is the way Apple updates iTunes, not as patches, but as complete version upgrades, meaning many-megabyte downloads. Another concern is difficulties moving songs from a work computer to a home computer, and the fact that an iPod cannot be used to do this. The article...

Loving Norah Jones


Loving Norah Jones 01/16/2004 01:02 PM

I tend to listen to same songs over and over with my eyes half-closed.  Many of the songs I am enjoying of late are Norah Jones songs.  She sings very well but I enjoy her songs because they are easy to sing.  Here are some of her songs I like:

  • Come Away with Me (sleepy seduction)
  • Don't Know Why (fast moody jog)
  • Lonestar (best on horseback)
  • One Flight Down (slow moody swaying)
  • Shoot the Moon (excellent guitar!)
  • Cold Cold Heart (nice rythm)

If you haven't discovered Norah Jones yet, check her out.

I am being forced to watch the Finnish qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest. Dear Lord. This is like watching Idols - the first few rounds. You know, the ones with the acne-faced idiots who actually think they can sing?

Well. The only difference that I can see here is that all of the singers are pretty (and red-haired), and that the songs are new. But why, oh why, do we continue to embarrass ourselves by thinking that someone in Europe would actually be interested in this crap? And why do we keep thinking that we have to do well in this stupid contest to be accepted? Well, now they at least have songs performed by a Norwegian, in English, written by a bunch of people none of have a Finnish name...

Who the fuck thinks of lyrics like "mouse in the misery - cheese in his memory"? WHAAAT!?! And they have one of the people from the Swedish Survivors performing, too! And someone, please kill the bloody hosts! "Du gick en pojkvän där? That was Swedish. Heheheheh." This is would be damn near intolerable, if I wasn't laughing my ass off...

Well, luckily there are few songs 16 year old Lagavulin and good company can't improve. ;-)

(OK, I'll have to give it to one performer: she can actually sing, pronounce English and look pretty at the same time. Something which seems to be very difficult for the rest of the performers.)
