After waking up very, very late this morning, I’m off to bed now. I don’t want to sleep through three alarms again!

Mozilla 1.1
Well it’s installed. It looks good. I’ll swear it’s rendering faster,… and they’ve swapped the order of the ‘open link in…’ commands in the context menu! 🙁
That’s going to be a hard habit to break.
Mozilla 1.1
Woohoo! Mozilla 1.1 is out. See the releases page for details.
There are some great sounding new features.
Downloading now…
Update: installing now…
God Emperor of Dune
I’ve just finished God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert. Sometimes books leave me almost breathless as I finish them. They fill my head with wondrous visions, wild thoughts and incredible possibilities. This is one such book. Read it. Read them all. Heretics of Dune is next.

Why You can’t Make Money from Online Content
I’ve just read a truly excellent article by Stephen Downes entitled “Five Choices: Or, Why I Won’t Give Dave Pell Twelve Dollars” about why Content does not and will not sell on the net. He says:
Content didn’t sell on the net, and it won’t sell on the net, because the premises of the rejoinder are false: people sometimes don’t deserve to be paid, even if they work hard, because the market doesn’t work that way. And people will produce content, even if they don’t get paid for the content. The online evidence for this is overwhelming, as two billion free web pages will attest.
This is a really interesting read. Stephen runs a web site that is “intended to represent the next generation of learning”. I’m very interested in education, including online learning, I’ll have to keep an eye on Stepehen’s Web

Steve: Number 3
Steve just made it to number three in a Google search for his site name, tkey. Go Steve!
Will he make it to number one? He doesn’t know it, but he already has!
Major Geek
I’ve just discovered The Quine Page by Gary P. Thompson II, a very interesting site all about Quines. Quines? WTF are Quines?
