Dreamweaver extensions and MX2004 (Feb 08 2004 12:58 GMT) - Working in education has it's perks. I've just received Macromedia Studio 2004 (bought for a shockingly low price), installed it and moved over the extensions I had installed on MX. I've updated my extensions page with some information, though I still have some testing to do. A while ago I received a bugreport for the Dutch Date extension, I've since heard that the problem resolved itself and can now confirm that the extension works perfectly. Here's a shocking thing I've noticed so far: |

How fanfic makes kids into ... (Feb 08 2004 12:52 GMT) - How fanfic makes kids into better writers (and copyright victims). Here's an amazing Technology Review piece about how kids are writing Harry Potter fanfic and editing one-another's stories in order to become great and prolific writers. The author, Henry Jenkins, characterizes this as an "unconventional" way of teaching creative writing, but I think that fanfic is more conventional than he credits (the first story I wrote was set in the Star Wars universe; I was six -- and the first long-form work I wrote was a Conan pastiche, at 12). The biggest difference between the kids' fanfic of yore and that of today is that back in the old days, kids had no way to readily collaborate with one another on their creations -- nor to expose themselves to copyright infringement liability from overzealous rightsholders who indiscriminately shut down kids' sites with threatening letters. |

bipolar: vile or created to kill (Cannibal Corpse Discussions) (Feb 08 2004 12:52 GMT) - QUOTE (Mutilated1 @ Dec 8 2003, 12:05 PM) Vile definitely rules, but the Created To Kill version is not so bad either. Created to Kill would be awesome without Vile to compare it to, but Vile is just pretty damn hard to beat if you ask me. My sentiments exactly!I'd usually go for barnes over corpsegrinder anyday but the vocal arrangements on vile are a lot better. |

Educational Multi Player SimCity for ... (Feb 08 2004 12:51 GMT) - Educational Multi Player SimCity for Linux Proposal. Educational Multi Player SimCity for Linux Proposal Back in March 2002, Maxis told me they were interested in supporting the educational use of products like SimCity. Earlier, I had developed a multi player version of SimCity, which runs on Linux/X11, and was scriptable in TCL. Educators and researchers from Columbia University, MIT, IBM, Xerox and other educational and commercial institutions were excited about gaining access to this version of SimCity, and adapting it to teach and stimulate students' interest in urban planning, computer simulation and game programming. So I wrote this proposal and presented it to Maxis. |
