A news aggregator is "software that periodically reads a set of news sources, in one of several XML-based formats, finds the new bits, and displays them in reverse-chronological order on a single page."   [Dave Winer] 9:25:55 PM    comment [] What is all this shit? Links, crap, more links.. some original thoughts! no inbound links! plenty outbounds links! No rhyme or reason.. no specific topic.. almost like a diary what a sissy you think! .. feel like painting with raw paint.. on a huge canvass! no difference between creativity and diarrehea! One is indigestion of the mind.. the other indigestion of the body! How lame I sound when I try to sound like the master! Lameness is I 9:16:31 PM    comment [] Vacuum tube computing   AOpen has shipped a motherboard with an on-board tube-amp; the first modern computing component to include a vaccuum tube!  Link Discuss (Thanks, Higgins!)

Here is a link to an essay about the free software foundation, and a different look at the entities we call "intellectual property".  A quote: Then there's 9892454959483. This one is the source code for Microsoft Word. In addition to being "copyrighted," this one is a trade secret. That means if you take this number from Microsoft and give it to anyone else you can be punished. Lastly, there's 588832161316. It doesn't do anything, it's just the square of 767354. As far as I know, it isn't owned by anybody under any of these rubrics. Yet. [BoingBoing] 9:01:24 PM    comment [] Odds and Ends Neck hurty hurty.. the fucking hard brake is coming back to haunt me.. What is the nature of the universe? why do I have all this time to think about this crap? does it really matter whether I write about it or not? does it matter if its out there or inside your head? I mean the difference is that being out there, it has the possibility of reaching someone else, but then what? it would still be destroyed.. in a billion years.. will the meme still be there? I say a billion years, for best case.. I mean if the sun and its solar systems and the galaxy is destroyed, what will become of the memes, and the monuments that the most powerful entities had in that galaxy? what difference then there will be between the useless thoughts that I had today in the subway, and the most cherished, and most popular and longest living philosophies of my age? 3 million years from now, they will all look the same.. if anyone's out there to look that is.. And how much my ideas will be meshed with jesus's ideas for example.. etc etc.. I guess my head injury is manifesting itself in these types of talks.. I hope its not too complicated and don't have to get a cat-scan. A dog scan would be even better, but the technology isn't here, just yet! ;) 8:32:25 PM    comment []
