Create Web Applets with Mozilla and XML (Oct 23 2003 23:09 GMT) - To go beyond simple HTML, historically the only options have been to use Java technology or plug-ins. Now, you have a new way -- write and display applications natively in XML. The Mozilla platform provides such a mechanism. This article introduces XUL (the XML User-interface Language). XUL is set of GUI widgets with extensive cross-platform support that are designed for building GUI elements for applications that have traditional, non-HTML GUIs. |

Even Gates loses track of the code-names (Oct 23 2003 23:08 GMT) - If code-names for future Microsoft products like "Avalon," "Indigo," "Whidbey" and "Springboard" occasionally draw a blank for you, you're in good company. Even Microsoft's own chief software architect Bill Gates falls behind on the terminology sometimes. Gates admitted as much during his Office System launch keynote in New York on Tuesday. |

The work-blog interface, redux (Oct 23 2003 23:08 GMT) - I almost swallowed my tongue when I read Ed Cone's weblog entry earlier today. Especially after I had just recently ranted about "When work and blogging don't mix". I have no intention of becoming a corporate blogger--at least not without appropriate renumeration. And since Ziff has a policy against paying its employees to do freelance work for the Ziff Internet site, that's not going to happen anytime soon. The words on my weblog pages belong solely to me. |

Well Geez, Can We Revoke Julia Roberts' Oscar Too? (Oct 23 2003 23:08 GMT) - There's a movement afoot to revoke the late Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize. Duranty, a reporter for the New York Times and an apologist for Stalin, won his award in 1932 for reporting that one later observer described as a "dull and largely uncritical recitation of Soviet sources"; he subsequently failed to recognize the famine that Stalin's policies were unleashing in Ukraine. Duranty's prize has always been a black mark on the Pulitzers' admittedly less-than-stellar record. But revoking it would be, at best, a gesture as meaningless as Clinton's apology for slavery; |

Queensryche (Oct 23 2003 23:06 GMT) - I'll be out at a Queensryche concert tonight with a friend. I'm not sure what to expect, being as I know 2 of their songs and haven't kept up since their commercial successes "Empire" and "Silent Lucidity" (which, I've been told, are not emblematic of their normal sound anyways). I should mention that someone else was supposed to go and I'm the "Fill-in Friend" for the purposes of this concert. Crap, I don't know any of the songs, and I don't even have my long hair to act as a camoflage. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. |
