Bump Dot Net For the People

Strangely, when I log onto Napster now, there are still plenty of Metallica songs up there.

#

File under “not surprising to me”, my color is Black.

#

Some great Web, dreamweaver, and development tutorials on this site.

#

Steven Champeon takes Microsoft and Bill Gates to task for comments made in a Time Magazine article. I couldn’t have said it better myself.(via rc3.org)

The supermarket down the street from my house now has a self checkout system where you scan the items you are buying, then insert either cash or card based payment into a machine. It works really well, and it’s much faster than waiting in line. I was buying beer, so I still had to show my ID to the single employee overseeing the self checkout area.

RIAA claims initial win against Napster.

#

What’s up with array?

#

Macromedia has posted more in-depth information about their upcoming Dreamweaver UltraDev, which supports both Cold Fusion and Active Server pages development with a variety of industry standard databases.

#

brig’s redesign is my favorite EatonWeb so far.

#

An excellent Salon interview with Eileen Richardson from Napster.

#

Matt, who seems to be full of great ideas, is working on this project as a part of The MetaFilter Network. What a great idea.

This weekend was a fantastic reminder of how much I dislike festival style music shows. There is nothing like a bunch of drunk morons looking to start fights and packed into a relatively small space. Oasis proved to be very low energy live Friday night, and we didn’t return to the show on Saturday or Sunday because of the nasty crowd.

#

Aimme Mann’s new CD, Bachelor No.2 or the last remains of the dodo, is quite good. Some of the songs are the same as those on the Magnolia soundtrack.

#

I finally got the March and April archive pages up. The legacy archives will follow soon.

#

I bought a new Television for my new apartment. It’s very very nice.

#

The annoying Javascript error messages that everyone was getting should be gone now. I’m hoping to get the last few weeks of archives hooked back up today too.

#

It’s going to be a fun weekend, my brother is coming into to town from New York, and Atlanta’s Spring music festival, Music Midtown is this weekend. There aren’t too many bands I want to see, but I need to get out of the house and socialize.

#

This whole I Love You virus thing has been really annoying for some people and brought other people’s networks down. Personally, I received more emails warning me about the virus and trying to inform me of it’s dangers than anything else. What do you call these emails? They are almost a mutated strain of the virus itself.

#

Well I completed the majority of my move over the last two days. I should be back online now and posting on a regular basis again. My new apartment is, of course, full of boxes that I need to sort through. I still have some furniture to buy, but I got a bed and a neat two person lounge chair for my living room. I’m hoping to be out of the old apartment altogether by this weekend.

#

How scary is this?

#

Jim points to this article about Palm moving to ARM processors. It’s a natural move for them, and I guess they could license or buy newton technology from Apple if they wanted. This has some potential.

#

Did I mention that I like Dandot’s new design quite a bit?

#

Kudos to Waferbaby on the beautiful redesign.

I have lost 25 lbs since SXSW.
