It’s a long (3600 words!), alphabetical list with brief descriptions. I haven’t been through it all yet but I am sure there’ll be some useful stuff in there…

iWire alerted me to the fact that Norwich is going to spend £3.4m on a broadband network for public sector organizations in the city.
I hope they think to make some of the network capacity available to the public via wireless as well…sexy xxx moviesstrippers moviesfor teens movie cashhole movie themovie thumbzilla archivetitty movies fuckmovies tulsaultra movies hardcoreand to movie script walk remembersamples movie zoo

According to this BBC interview with Danger’s CEO, the Danger Hiptop (updated with a colour screen) will be with us in Europe mid-year. The form factor and software is elegant but I can’t see the 18-24 year old target market shelling out $39 to $59 a month here in Europe for it since for comms at least so many people use simple SMS already. I would be tempted to buy it instead of a phone, though, for a modest premium.

While on the subject of mobile comms, Fastxt is also worth a look for IM and SMS addicts in the UK. They are on to a good idea – use Symbian’s software to provide a better instant messaging environment than traditional SMS/MMS and provide software that runs on several (advanced) mobile phones instead of producing your own hardware.

That’s an interesting assertion made in passing in this interview with Barclay Knapp, head of NTL.

I always presumed that the cost of providing broadband for cable companies might be lower than the cost for the telcos using DSL but not greatly lower. Then I read this:

“…it is broadband where NTL is likely to make most money. Analysts estimate gross profit margins on the service can be as high as 90%.”

If companies like Telewest (my cable modem provider) offered £10 a month broadband instead of £25 I wonder how many more TV and telephone customers they could eventually sign up once they were “hooked” using broadband?

And weblogging is still too difficult, says Stef “Whitelabel.org/UpMyStreet” Magdalinski.

I love using MT but I can only do so because I have a tech-savvy friend to set up and host it.

Trackback is a hard concept to explain and implement (though I think it is rather useful once you start using it). But there seems to be a larger danger here. With everyone concentrating on enabling and improving on weblogging – the flavour du jour – I haven’t seen any work being done to enable more complex self-publishing like simple web forms for creating online newsletters.

To quote from a recent essay I wrote:

it is now possible to produce simple websites or photo albums without cost by filling in forms online, though sites created in this fashion may be less likely to show up on many search engines, they are limited in the number of visitors that providers will allow over a given period, and the primitive design templates used often make such sites visibly un-professional.

For more sophisticated users, weblogs (regularly updated websites) can also be produced and maintained free of charge… and message boards and chat rooms can also be easily set up for free on personal websites. Moreover both Microsoft and AOL have noted the growth in weblogs and intend to provide improved tools for people to express themselves online.

(What’s the name of that Microsoft “organize my life” R & D programme?) But I’m guessing all the action for MS and AOL is in helping people publish individually. What is needed is free – preferably open source – tools that let people make their own newsletters jointly with others or coordinate online to accomplish something (not just messageboards – though tailored ones could be part of it but shared document creation tools) – even create their own streaming audio radio stations without having to program anything.

I hope that is part of what Matt Jones and friends are working on at the BBC’s New Politics Initiative.

Later Is Textpattern part of the solution? It requires, the author says, “Little knowledge of internet technology to install and use it” but having to have “an account with a hosting provider who offers PHP and a MySQL database” to use it doesn’t sound like a good start.

It would be handy to see a sample site with some greeked text using its standard template to see what a Textism site would look like.

Here‘s something I wish I had thought of – a way to indicate where your web page is (or relates to). This page is served out of Toronto, Canada as it happens but it relates to me and my interests so I have just added a tag which indicates that this site “resides” at 51.00.06 N, 0.0515 E and if you look under my picture you can now find sites that are near my own. (My actual location is probably a few yards from those coordinates but my GPS doesn’t work inside my flat so I had to use multimap and my postcode to approximate). At time of writing, I appear to be the only site registered as being in London, but I hope this changes soon. I actually registered using the metatags for a previous standard which doesn’t seem to have taken off, but which the people at geourl are also supporting.

So why indicate where your site is? Well, the possibilities are limitless – it could enable an open source yellow pages service using this publicly available information – more precise and useful than the crude geographic groupings from the Open Directory or Yahoo. It could also help neighbors with similar interests to find each other, as UpMyStreet is doing in the UK using the UK’s fairly precise post codes.

To add a little element of Dr Strangelove to this tool, the tag geourl uses is labeled as the page’s “ICBM” value because of a little usenet in-joke.auto loans 0advantage loancredit with car loan bad a37 loan carbest credit bad loans 10 personalloan of student advantage consolidationfaxing instant 24 7 loans noloans 250000 business Mapporn abusedabsolutely porn free lesbianteenagers activities forchat adult call back sexmovie made amateur home sexmovies amature teenpublic sex amateur inerotic stories sex a Map

For some reason my Mozilla 1.1 has been forgetting several of its cookies periodically, even though I have had its cookie security on the default most “lenient” setting. I went to report this and found “do not file bugs on copies of Mozilla older than two weeks.” So we are supposed to continuously update our Mozilla to the latest available build. I guess I could do that. But there are no instructions I could find on the site about upgrading as opposed to reinstalling. Read the installation notes and you are told, “Install into a new empty directory. Installing on top of previously installed builds may cause problems.” So can you upgrade without losing your existing settings? What should you do with old installations on your HD once you have successfully installed? There’s nothing in the installation notes about that…

So a) has anyone else had the Mozilla problem I had. If so, does upgrading fix it? Is there anything else I can/should do? And
b) If I just download Mozilla 1.2.1 install it in a new directory then uninstall the previous version will I be left with a version that still has all the settings from 1.1?

Later: Encouraged by Dean’s comment I just went ahead and downloaded 1.2 and installed it over 1.1. Nothing seems to have gone wrong. But I still maintain it is yet another example of the way open source developers fail to cater for non-insider users…bank loans signature 1stloan 30000 payment100 texas loan mortgage for lawsloans accelerationact loan education144 loans stockloan 2nd calculator mortgageloans for georgia advance0 mortgage commerical loan downfixed home interest loans 1 ratefinal hentai movies fantasyfree sites adult moviemovies anal sample freefree bi moviesblow free movies jobsgallery free blowjob movieblowjobs free moviesfree movies sex brazilianfree defloration moviesclips enema free movie

Greg Costikyan, who has created some of my favourite board and role playing games like Paranoia and Pax Britannica has started a weblog in which he discusses and defends the notion that computer games can be an art form.

One of the organizations he consults for, Themis Group is in an interesting position – it advises people who run massively multi-player games on how to manage their virtual communities. No easy task!

Now if only Wagner James Au would do a weblog….
