(Untitled)- September 16, 2002 Fontscape is a new site intended to help graphic designers select fonts. I'm a software designer, but I can still appreciate art (occasionally) and I spent a fascinating hour just admiring the work. I also tried Identifont but it didn't find Lucida Console and it thought Anonymous was Pueblo. Maybe I'm using it wrong. Wait! It got Century Gothic right. Whoops - it thinks Georgia is Berling. I don't expect I'll ever actually need to use it for its intended purpose, luckily. from webgraphicshttp://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/09/15.html#a106 (Untitled)- September 14, 2002 A great gift combination. from DaveZillahttp://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/09/14.html#a105 (Untitled)- September 10, 2002 Cassini managed code web server (link from On The Mark). Why is this interesting Well, for starters it shows how you can easily host your own light-weight http server. Second, a .NET-based server should be immune to buffer overrun attacks (since the CLR is watching for array indexing errors). Finally, it might make a great host for web services (without some of the other overhead that IIS introduces for a general purpose site). It seems to me that another use for an easy-to-create local web...http://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/09/09.html#a104 (Untitled)- September 10, 2002 What a brilliant idea for a game to play during long phone conferences! from Ingo Rammerhttp://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/09/09.html#a103 (Untitled)- September 9, 2002 Ten Best Intranets of 2002. We also found several companies that used a daily lunch menu as their killer app. I think the killer app phrase has lost a bit of its weight since it was used to describe the spreadsheet, e-mail, and the web itself. But the point here is simple: if the goal is to get every employee to visit the Intranet every day, you need to post something new every day that they care about.

Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself What is its nature What does he do, this man you seek Clarice Starling : He kills women-- Hannibal Lecter: No! That is incidental. What is the first and principal thing he does, what need does he serve by killing Clarice Starling : Anger, social resentment, sexual frustration-- Hannibal Lecter : No, he covets. That's his nature....http://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/09/01.html#a97 |
