RSS 2.0 busted

  Sep 28, 2002

Dave hastily, and without respecting the RSS community's appeal to wait, rushed out RSS 2.0 according to his own specification. Recent events has revealed it to be busted, or if you ask Dave, XML is. He now expects the world to "fix" our problem with RSS 2.0 as defined by...

Google news

  Sep 27, 2002

Wow. That's the best word for it. Google News is fantastic. I don't know if a whole lot of stuff coincidentally is happening in the world right now, but I've never experienced such a violent flood of news before. Not particularly surprising, Dave Winer fails to see the big deal...

Crying wolf

  Sep 22, 2002

The president of Harvard, Lawrence H. Summers, has in a speech a few days ago confronted, as he see it, the supposed rise of anti-semitism in the world. He iterates a number of arguments, some of which I do not disagree with (or don't know anything of) and therefore don't...

FOAF consequences

  Sep 22, 2002

The predicament is that for FOAF to be useful it needs to have a greater scope than the current implementations, and, with greater scope comes the attention of spammers.

On Dave

  Sep 20, 2002

For a while now, I've had the distinct feeling that Dave Winer has been increasingly losing his fucking mind. I've been suspecting it for a good while now, but the first undeniable proof of it was when Dave Winer called Ben Hammersley's article on newsreaders in The Guardian "tainted", originally...

Meow

  Sep 20, 2002

Sooner than I expected, Boss (the cat), following and due to his castration (or neutering as it is called nowdays) has lost all interest in meowing on the balcony. He still likes the view, but is no longer obsessed with feline females, nor calling for them at the top of...

Back in the loop

  Sep 19, 2002

Just when I thought I might never get involved with multiplayer gaming again, it pulls me right back in. A long time ago, it seems, I used to play "realistic" multiplayer shooters against opponents from all over the world, gathering on mutual game servers. Ones in which you pretty much...

Die, blue feather!

  Sep 15, 2002

I'm so tired of people who try to humanize animals because they're cute. I, quite honestly, cannot comprehend how some people lead themselves to believe that certain pets and animals are humans. Have they not noticed that their favourite pet or animal is incapable of crafting, or even utilizing, tools?

Dubya & the UN

  Sep 13, 2002

Watching George W. Bush address the UN in his speech yesterday I was very glad to not hear any senseless babbling about the "freedom-loving world" -- the ludicrous insinuation that terrorists are driven by nothing more complex than a blind, unreasoning rage against freedom. Instead he made a convincing speech,...

Indecisive

  Sep 12, 2002

As I mentioned earlier, I've been planning a slightly bigger site update. New colors, new masthead imagery, but nothing more drastic than that. Oh, possibly a new name. I don't really have a name for it now, people seems to refer to it as "jogin.com". Larger image Anyway, the design...

911

  Sep 11, 2002

September 11th, a day to remember and mourn the five thousand who died under the Twin Towers that inconceivable day one year ago. No doubt a day which millions of Americans will spend thinking, wondering, praying and watching tv-specials. And then they'll bomb Iraq....

My new app

  Sep 10, 2002

I've never learnt to appreciate neither Dreamweaver nor Dreamweaver Ultradev. Coding by mouse is a) a pain and b) takes as long, or even longer, than doing it the traditional way by keyboard. As the prophecies have foretold, Dreamweaver MX has cometh.

Living in Sweden

  Sep 07, 2002

I somehow stumbled into an American discussion about living conditions in Sweden. Glenn of Instapundit brings forth several claims based on statistics; Sweden is poorer than African-Americans in the US; Sweden has more crime than Mississippi. The list goes on and on. Eric Alterman of MSNBC refutes some of the...

W-What?

  Sep 05, 2002

I don't get it. Gaming outlawed in Greece?...
