Robin's summary of Mike Rundle's article is quite good, as are his comments on the article itself. It's got me thinking about this…hmm Tris Hussey, independent publisher. Probably, not. Mike Rundle writes about how the weblog medium is morphing into something more than just a “daily-updated website”. Finally someone is taking note! He writes:”A weblog…
Ah, Canadian humour. I'm not sure Robin gets our sense of humour. So read Robin's comments, then go read the Toque (which, for you non-Canadians who might be reading this, what Americans call a stocking cap…the winter knitted hat). I like Points 4 (Install a game), 6 (turn on a TV), 7 (read), 8 (go…
I haven't noticed a spike coming from MSN, but my robots.txt might have been blocking them inadvertently. Regardless, this very pubic foray into search definitely raises the stakes for Yahoo and Google. Although Google is the most popular search engine, how many folks accidentially search through MSN or don't change their default settings? On the…
This is a very disturbing ruling. Of course it only applies to the US, but where are Google, Hotmail, and Yahoo servers? Between this and the Patriot Act it almost makes encrpyting all your e-mail worthwhile. Hopefully the US wiretap law will be updated to include electronic communications in addtion to voice. Court case: E-mail…

I gave OneNote a shot when I upgraded to Office 2003 (yes, I know MS Office vs. OpenOffice…I needed to work with a lot of PowerPoint…) and I thought that it was pretty cool. I did do some brainstorming with it and doodling. I think it could have potential. Frankly the only reason I stopped…
MS is really taking it on the chin right now. This is yet another problem with IE. I think this vulnerability is perhaps the scariest. The fact that a trusted site's content could be altered right under your nose is very scary. One minute there are links to other good and trusted site, then the…
Sounds interesting, but they are almost too good to be true. I think this will be an interesting one to watch. Qnext Releases the World's Most Versatile P2P Communications Suite: “SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Qnext Corp. today announced the public beta release of its groundbreaking P2P communications suite available for the Windows and Linux operating…
News from Shared Spaces. The departure of David Fowler for IMlogic is certainly interesting and Michael makes good suppositions on the “why”. I'm also struck by how few Windows Server 2003 customers had implemented SharePoint. While I think SharePoint is interesting, I agree with Michael, I'm not sure it's ready for prime time. Today's highlights:…
This article and Amy Gahran's post on Contentious finally pushed me over the edge. I'm trying Firefox and so far am enjoying it. I do have Opera installed, but I'm finding it cluttered. MS really needs to deal with this asap. Can you say “negligence”? They've admitted it is a flaw, they've admitted that it…
