Weird stuff, don’t know what to write about this.. Lets hope that some
of the more important Software-Companies like Adobe/Macromedia or
Steinberg won’t stop their development for developing 2 CPU Branches
for a not-so-important base like Mac doesn’t pay off..
I’m still a bit puzzled, hadn’t expected this.. Although it’s a nice
move for the future, cheaper faster macs.. And Wine should work like
mad

“We are very far along on this, but we’re not done,” said Jobs. “Which
is why we’re going to put it in your hands very soon, so you can help
us finish it.”

Cocoa-based applications will require “a few minor tweaks and a
recompile.” Carbon-based applications require “a few more tweaks,”
recompiling, and “they’ll work,” said Jobs. And projects built using
Metrowerks’ CodeWarrior need to be moved to Xcode.

well, he sounds a bit.. pleading.. doesn’t he? I guess must be a sub-optimal feeling standing up there right now..

Now this is cool, seems as if the Nintendo Revolution will allow you to
play all the old classics Snes, Nes and N64 games for free..
Maybe they’ll even include some gfx-enhancement-technologies like in ZSnes (or even better stuff who knows).
That sounds awesome as I’m all retro when it comes to games (Still playing doom1 from time to time)

I just found out that Apple updated their Dashboard listing,
they’ve got a lot of Widgets now, and all these Widgets are neatly
sorted into a couple of Select-Boxes which allow quick access. Nice,
I’ll go and see if I find some cool new Widgets now…

Google anounced a new technology called Google Sitemaps which should
help search engines and webmasters alike in refining search engine
resutls. It allows to give the search engine a list of pages which are
to be crawled, including a last modified, priority and chang-frequency
attributes. I implemented this technology into my blogcms-thingie now.
I’m anxious to see how this will change the way google indexes this
site.

Google… Slashdotted?…

I just uploaded Tagbag 1.20. It’s out of beta now as I guess that all bugs are fixed. I’m looking forward to adding new features now.

Here’s the 1.20 changelog:

*Preferences work as they should now
*Enhanced opening Finder Windows. Now clicking on a tag should always open a Finder window
*Added an option to reload the tags everytime Dashboard is shown

not everything in life has to make sense.

Imagine you have a frog. Unfortunately your frog, lets say in an attempt to mimic what he saw in the newest Star Wars movie, dies a cruel and lugubrious death.
Reflecting uppon the nature of death, the circulation of life, in an
quest to find anwsers to this dire tragedy, you encounter the
philosophical question of what to do with the frog.
What would you do with a dead frog? He was one of your closes friends once, your brother he was.
And now the Frog continued on the ever unveiling path of life.
So, as you think about this problem, it all comes clear, it is so
simple, everything should be as meaningfull, as straight as this. More
than 2000 years after someone got nailed on a tree because he suggested
that it would be damn jolly idea if, just for a change, all people
could be neat to each other, you find the ultimate solution what to do with your dead best friend. What to do with your dead frog.

*snip*

This is how it probably happened, how causally determined everything started:

Some
guys from somewhere I don’t even wanna know took a dead frog, implanted
a computer into his body, threw him into a bag of formaldehyde, ran a
WWW Server on that computer and connected him to a friggin network. And
now one can control the frogs legs via internet.

That’s insane. Totally.

But it reminds me of star wars episode three. The Frog dies, and
computer machinery is built into him, a golden cage is built around
him, so he can continue his existance, who knows maybe that frog develops a super-virus AI and that one will someday enslave mankind.

There’s even a video showing how the frog moves…

RFID seems to be everywhere, and now the allways-greedy bar/club owners seem to have found a new use for it. A nightclub in Scottland and a nightclub in Barcelona
offer their VIP visitors an RFID-Chip implant in the arm so they have
all their account information stored in there (Which is an easy way to
pay, of course).
Now I wonder.. what if you’re a regular in like 30 nightclubs? You’ll
need to carry like 30 RFID-Chips around? Weird stuff, and I guess this
is just the beginning, just the tip of the iceberg…
