PC WEEK looks at Jigsaw. "Jigsaw's object-oriented design allows it to handle requests efficiently and maintain a database of all the server's resource information. That design also allows the server to filter requests and maintain object-based authentication and allows users to easily publish files directly to the Web server."

If you're running Jigsaw, please tell us about it. How does it compare with Frontier 6?

CNN: Internet IPOs Soar. "WebTrends shares rocket 177% at their debut; Vignette jumps 152%." Congrats to Vignette!

NewsTracker query for Vignette; WordNet query.

New release: mailToTheFuture.root. It's the definitive sample app for Frontier 6, uses membership and net storage. XML-RPC, XML and HTML interfaces. It's the modern version of BarChart. Frontier 5.1.6 users can review this app to see what development in Frontier 6 will be like. Comin soon!

Web Review: Generating Flash on the Fly.

A lot of personal downtime today due to an installation disaster with Netscape Communicator 4.5/WinNT. Everything's back to normal now, but it was scary for a while.

ZDNet: Window spoofing bug hits Communicator.

Cameron Crotty: "Up until now, the Internet as you know it has been a test run -- a prototype. Certainly we've seen some amazing demonstrations and some genuinely new businesses. But you ain't seen nothing yet." Yes yes yes!

News.com: Adobe to show GoLive.

Chuck Shotton: 'While waiting on downloads I've been making little, dorky paper cut-out turbines to spin on the head of a pin, driven by the heat rising from the computer monitors. I decided that while cute, they weren't high tech enough, so I went looking for info on Stirling Engines. I found a great site in Japan that shows how to build one out of a tin can, balsa wood, a balloon, some wire, and a candle. Allegedly, the thing runs at several hundred RPM off the heat of the candle!'

InfoWorld: Microsoft Free to Clone Java? "Two weeks ago Microsoft asked if [the injunction] applied to independently built Java technologies -- so-called "clean room" products that do not contain any of Sun's Java code. Whyte clarified the injunction Thursday, saying it did not apply to independent Java technologies."

Data Communications: Broadband means broad change.

In May of last year I wanted to do automated backups and run a radio station over broadband.

Melanie Warner: Which comes first, the product or the IPO?

Wired: Compaq questioned Microsoft monopoly.

SJ Merc: Purple Moon, a pioneering maker of software for girls, went out of business Thursday.
