Dan likes mp3outliner!
Om is discussing the news that Google have hired a “Visual Design Lead” (“Leader”, shurely?) - Doug Bowman - who has been involved in some real nice, clean work.
So, the new Iraqi democracy and the wearing of shorts are incompatible. Democracy sucks - it simply means that if you get enough lunatics together in one room, they can boss other people around.
I’ve put up another cartoon. This one is called The Zany Web 2.0 World and is a somewhat jaded take on the Raftery/O’Reilly thing. Crazy Uncles, Steve [Gillmor] and Marc [Canter] appear for your viewing pleasure. “;->”
…and Dave responds
Dave has kindly answered my call! Thank you! “;->”
The first requirement may be possible - I have an old Mac upstairs which I’ve been intending to set up for something like that. I’m going to look in to how that could work, especially with regards to remote administration because it is effectively headless.
So, WebEdit, huh. There are some docs which I’ve found. If I’m grokking this correctly, what it means is that we have a Frontier-specific version of CVS or Subversion that we can use for object databases. That’s cool. The OPML Editor / Frontier suprises me with it’s depth, every day.
That fits really nicely with how I’m thinking about opmlUtilities.root - the Tool I released for mp3outliner (while we’re talking about bootstraps - this is a sort of bootstrap in reverse - it’s a fairly inefficient but open way of doing something which we make popular now, so we can make better later) - which I’d like to be a sort of repository for little hacks and ideas. Depending on how powerful WebEdit is, we could almost certainly make it very easy to have as a ground for pet projects and hacks.
Finally, I’ll most certainly help others.
