Of course now that I've commited to the server move, this one has been amazingly fast (from my perspective at least.) This is in comparison to the very slow speeds I had been seeing for the last few weeks. Oh well. I'll be curious to see how the new server does. It's actually a less powerful machine, but under orders of magnitude less load. I'm figuring it will be an improvement, but if it's only as fast as this one is right now I'll be happy.
The new server is up. If everything goes correctly this domain will be transfered tomorrow. This might mean (well, ok, probably mean) the site will be unreachable for up to 24 hours. I'll post again when I'm more sure, but it looks like tomorrow will be the day.
Great Alex Wilson piece on Veteran's Day.
Art Medlar wrote to David Weinberger pointing out that if you search for 'http' in google you get the raw ordering of pages by rank. Wow. No big surprises, but very cool.
Alex is going to have a heart attack or something: I'm finally rebuilding the advanced search. This will debut next week after we change servers.
Macromedia starts to get what blog tool makers have been saying for years.
Christopher Locke makes me laugh out loud. And that's pretty good seeing as his topic is a business meeting.
The chimera web browser is a simplified version of mozilla for OS X (with a native cocoa user interface.) Still in beta, the new 0.6 release is quite good. I'm using it as my main browser now. Much faster at rendering pages than Mozilla. Worth a look despite it's pre 1.0 status.
We will be moving to a new server next week. More details to follow...
Apple released kick ass new portables. Same form factors. The iBook is now $999 - $1850 (my pick: $1500 = 800mhz g3, 640 megs ram, 30 gig hard drive, DVD/CDrw, Radeon 7500 w/ 32 megs) and the Powerbook is now $2300 - $3000 (my pick: $3000 = 1ghz g4, 512 megs ram, 60 gig hard drive DVDrw/CDrw, Radeon 9000 w/ 64 megs !!!)
These are very competitive machines. You can find something cheaper on the Windows side, but it won't be as good. And it won't be that much cheaper. I don't even think you can get a recordable DVD at all (or did Sony just announce one too?)
Nice boost to Apple's struggling line up.
Happy Birthday MB!
