Print-to-toilet-roll. The "Loo Roll Browser" ... (Aug 11 2003 12:57 GMT) - Print-to-toilet-roll. The "Loo Roll Browser" is a browsing app that lets you send pages to your crapper to be output on your toilet-paper roll, so that you can fill your bathroom with reading material from the net. Me, I just bring my WiFi-equipped laptop into the porcelain reading-room and balance it precariously on the tub-edge when I need both hands free. Link Discuss (via Geisha Asobi) [Boing Boing Blog] |

Summer silliness (Aug 11 2003 12:57 GMT) - Oh dear. Over at the Beeb, technology analyst Bill Thompson bemoans summer silliness on weblogs. Alas, his piece isn't up to much. Already, a daft factual error ("The earliest bloggers have been at it for two years now") has been flagged up by Need to Know and lambasted by Tom Coates. And the Guardian's own Simon Waldman has a pop at the effortless elitism Thompson exhibits ("more and more sites are being created by people with less and less to say"). |

LA Times: iChat AV is 'first practical software' for teleconferencing; a 'huge step up' (Aug 11 2003 12:56 GMT) - "Last month, Apple introduced the first practical software for online video chats. With a fairly inexpensive camera-microphone unit that sits atop the computer and a broadband connection, you can communicate with people around the world not just by typing, but with talking, laughing, hand gestures and smiles. You can say hello to a loved one far away, show off the baby, hold philosophical discussions and, of course, flirt," reports David Colker for The Los Angeles... |

Recall (Aug 11 2003 12:56 GMT) - To a person like me, 200 people running in an election seems a little bit like overkill. What I want to see is a debate between all of them, maybe in a high school gym; or even better a hockey... |

THE DILEMMA OF OVERPOPULATION (Aug 11 2003 12:55 GMT) - As many of you know, I'm starting to write a book that describes a utopian future state where humans actually live in peace, and in harmony with the other species on Earth. Everything I describe (in the story outline anyway) is plausible except a solution for overpopulation. Six or seven billion humans, even living more modestly and conscientiously than we do now, simply can't co-exist with the rest of the species on this planet. There's just not enough room, not enough resources. The numbers can't be crunched to make it work. |

Improved FormProcessor class (Aug 11 2003 12:54 GMT) - I get one or two emails a week about my FormProcessor class, making it the most popular of all of the code experiments I've posted on this site. Each time I'm asked if I plan to update it soon, and each time I reply that while I'd love to go back to it, I can't promise I'll ever get the time to take it further. The great news is that Peter Bowyer of Maple Design has been working with my code and has made a number of huge improvements to it. If you liked my version, you'll love his evolution of it: it adds support for radio buttons, checkboxes and select fields and he's got a number of other interesting ideas up his sleeve for the future. |
