Using Http Authentication with VisualWorks (Oct 01 2003 17:37 GMT) - I recently (in 3.1) got Http authentication working in BottomFeeder. I didn't have to do anything out of the oridinary - all the support I need was already in the NetClients package, which has been part of the VW distribution for a few years now. So how do you add such support? Well, let's say you issue an Http request: |

climb (Oct 01 2003 17:36 GMT) - My daughter can tear off her shoes and socks, spit on her hands and climb right to the top of a lamp post. Once at the top, she slides joyously down again. Imagine being half the size of a grownup... |

Comment Icons drawn from author's RSS or FOAF files (Oct 01 2003 17:35 GMT) - This is an interesting thing over at Life on Mars: Comment Icons. Post a comment, supply the URL to your blog, and if your blog has a locatable RSS feed which points to an image, that image will be displayed next to your comments. As I've been known to have a mild obsession with LiveJournal, this reminds me a lot of the usericons in use there, only distributed across blogspace, which is what I've wanted to see done for a long time. All the infrastructure of LiveJournal, Friendster, and the like could be recast as distributed feeds and metadata, with smarts on blog servers or personal clients. |

"Speed of Change" as mentioned before. [Kaleem Aziz] (Oct 01 2003 17:35 GMT) - Changing anything, including a corporation or technology, has its limits. The past has taught that in matters of acceptance and poliferation across entire commercial markets and humanity, technology itself is limited in its pace to bring about change. The key factor that many technology firms of the past failed for was that they construed technology in itself as the solution, and left out acceptance (ease of use, speed of change, etc.) as factors in real world. Similarily, building personal jet technology would fail if a company manufactured such product without looking at the demand or sales expectancy. |

Kazaa Files Most Obvious Friend Of Court Brief Ever (Oct 01 2003 17:34 GMT) - Kazaa, who through some legal tap-dancing, has so far been able to keep themselves out of the RIAA's lawsuit against Morpheus and Grokster, today filed what should be considered the most obvious "friend of the court" brief ever written. They're arguing that the appeals court should uphold their earlier ruling in favor of Morpheus and Grokster, saying that peer-to-peer file sharing networks are, by themselves, perfectly legal. Since they're basically the exact same type of company, their position is pretty obvious, and I doubt it will do much to sway the court one way or the other. They're basically just stating what their legal argument would have been if they had been included in the lawsuit. |

Cats have staff (Oct 01 2003 17:34 GMT) - I think Joey's got the wrong idea about the cat thing. I think he's right about the way cats treat people, but not every cat owner is after some kind of strong emotional attachment. When cats are young, their antics are incredibly entertaining and they are certainly cute and fuzzy. When they get older, it's like having a portable tiger; an instant nature show, assuming you let your cat outside. |
