A new hamster-like dance.
Today's Zeldman's Glamorous Life is about his mother. A beautiful human piece of writing. I love Zeldman because he's generous, takes risks, and pushes boundaries. I also love my mother. She is healthy, alert, and reads this page. Hi mom!
A new Manila feature is in the pipe, coming soon -- a special template for the home page of a site. A much-requested feature, now we totally need it for "Weblogs.Com", which has a rich home page, which is complicating other pages on the site. This is the kind of feature that many sites may not need, but if you need it, you know it.
We're also prepping the next rev of the Manila discussion group. In addition to having a topic view, it will also have a chronologic view. We're doing templates for all the elements of the discussion group so that designers can get in there and make it beautiful.
Tristan Louis has suggestions for RSS 0.92.
Jake has a list of new channels registered on My.UserLand.
Snoopin around looking for P2P-related domain names.
Radio UserLand: Manila Editorial Outlines. "A new command, Open Manila Site, opens a Manila site as a document."
Mail starting 10/13/00. Death penalty, SOAP and schemas, public ghost writers, Real Networks.
Tim O'Reilly: "I stood up in the meeting yesterday and asked for the sense of the group whether this proposal was going in the wrong direction, and was met with thunderous applause."
ZDNet: "This is a little rougher than I thought it would be," said Intel's Bob Knighten.
Forbes: "Should the Patent Office decide in OpenTV's favor, Amazon could be forced to either pay licensing fees for one-click shopping or abandon it altogether. Ironically, that's the same position Amazon has been trying to put Barnesandnoble.com into for the past year."
According to Evan Williams, Pyra has a deal with Conde Nast, not sure what the deal is, but congratulations to Pyra, good work. They're growing so fast, and adding new features, that's cool because weblogs are important. Go go go!
Stop in at WhatDidYouHaveForLunch.
Sun releases the source code for their office suite.
Clueless email sigs that contain non-disclosure agreements are not OK with me. I don't accept NDAs from strangers. I think they add these at the server. Ridiculous practice. Sometimes they appear on messages on public mail lists. Lawyers. Grrrr.
Congrats to Garret Vreeland on his new site.
Mets won last night. It got squirrely at the end. Philosophical slippage? Stay focused guys. The Mets return to Shea with a 2-0 lead in the series with St Louis.
