A couple of notes for web developers on browser tools. First is Safari Enhancer allows you to disable Safari's cache completely and enable the debug menu. Disabling the cache seems to help when you are working on a website and...

Seems the button-meme meme simultaneously infected a few of us the other day. Over at mod-pubsub, just the day before Scoble's post regarding the RSS button meme, we created a new button for use on pages/projects that utilize mod-pubsub, and introduced it in precisely the same way, as a meme. [If you don't know what mod-pubsub is, go check it out - in short, it is asynch pubsub using web standards, a very RESTian approach, enabling some message exchange patterns you may not have thought possible today on the web] This may have been more than coincidence - I think there is some deeper magic at work beneath Microsoft's technology roadmap (especially Indigo), and what it means for web technology purists. More to come on this.

. . . you'll loathe Matrix 3. That seems to be the theme of the reviews. And it opened well below expectations, and at just over half the first-day take of its predecessor. Box Office Guru had been predicting about $45 million for Wed-Thurs, and instead it did $35.3. Matrix 2 did $42.5M on opening day, this one did $24.3M. Still, it was very strong by recent standards. From boxofficeguru: Its Wednesday opening was the 3rd highest opening Wednesday in history behind Star Wars: Episode I from 1999 ($28.5M) and Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers from 2002 ($26.1M). As far as overall opening days, Revolutions placed 11th, sandwiched in between Planet of the Apes from 2001 ($24.6M) and The Hulk from earlier this summer ($24.28M). Both of those movies opened on Fridays. Hopefully you know to take all that "in history" stuff with a boulder of salt. It's a big scam. They pretend inflation doesn't exist, when in fact, it's monumental, over time. In effect "3rd highest opening Wednesday in ...

I remember talking to many people that wanted Zack to go into more details, to have time for more interactive discussions, or people that were bummed, that they missed the talk. What is stopping you from signing the Public Mind request that is asking for Zack to come back? Lately I have selected the speakers and themes for the Futurist Salon and I thought you would like to have some influence regarding next years sessions. Thinking about it, you could even write your own request: I would like to see the following theme and speaker at a Futurist Salon in 2004. In two weeks, on the 21st we will have Wifi in the room, which enables chat and life blogging. The room would also lend itself to do a webcast, there are two cameras in the room that could be hooked up and a direct internet connection. Let me know if one of you would like to set it up and do it, bring the needed equipment and make sure that it is running during the presentation. Neither Ross nor I will have the bandwidth to do ...

We went to see Matrix Revolutions last night. It was a major disappointment. For long stretches of the movie, I was stirring in my seat, waiting impatiently for some way-too-long sequence to finally be over with. Like a silly fight between supermen, a very long death scene where the heroes indulge in their personal tragedy when the fate of humanity was in the balance, etc. And underneath was the constant annoyance of the numerous plot errors. With this movie, I never bought into the Matrix universe. The movie was all special effects. I've only read a couple of reviews of it so far, and somewhat unusually, I agree with both: Exhibit one: "Yeah, so the new Matrix movie. It pretty much sucked. Blew chunks. Big, smelly, huge-assed chunks." [Terence Wei, yesterday] Exhibit two: "As a special-effects romp, The Matrix Revolutions may keep viewers glued to their seats for a couple of hours. But as a follow-up to the allegorical tour de force of the first Matrix film, it's a dismal ...

Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more. That's a quote by Robert A. Heinlein in his book, Starship Troopers. It pretty much describes my state of mind right now. I haven't had any sleep in the last 38 hours or so, but it's not for lack of...

Jonathan as a duck... ...Joshua as a giraffe. The boys had fun visiting dad at work and doing their trick or treating there among my incredibly cool co-workers. And when did Halloween costumes get so cool? I remember being stuck with those plastic facemasks that you couldn't breathe (or see) through with the cheap elastic string that went around your head that you had to be very, very careful with or the damn thing would break and a plastic "smock" that showed the character that you were supposed to be dressed as in an action pose across the chest.

In a month KDE 3.2 will be released with Atlantik 0.6.0. Some bugfixes are also backported for Atlantik 0.5.4 in a possible KDE 3.1.5, although as of now there are no plans for such a release (the announced 3.1.5 possibility has been cancelled). But work has already begon on Atlantik 0.7.0 and the first results are an event log and statusbar. The statusbar replaces some of the status labels on individual widgets for a more unified look, while it also hooks into the new event log. The event log is a container for all sorts of events, currently added are network events such as connection information (previously in the chat view) and all the raw data exchanged with servers. This will assist Atlantik and monopd developers with debugging efforts and could aid users into analyzing and communicating game status when encountering problems, also increasing the likelihood of bug fixes. As soon as KDE 3.2 is branched, these additions will make it to the cvs tree in HEAD.
