Designweenie
James Spahr redesigns and moves his site from www.spahr.org to Designweenie.
If you had his site in your weblogs.com favourites you need to re-add his site, because the name of the site is the primary key for weblog records [sic] in the weblogs.com "database".
His site name in weblogs.com is:
designweenine (was spahr.org)
Note that once James removes the "(was spahr.org)" from his record's name it'll break your list again.
I'm glad I reminded him :-)
This morning I noticed UserLand is working on "M2B" which means email-to-your-blog. I reminded Seth Dillingham that he had done 90% of the work towards that feature in mid-2000. He took an hour to polish it off and now it's working!
In fact this post made it here directly from my email outbox.
This was relatively easy to do in Conversant because every Conversant site already has a built in two-way mailing list.
When Macrobyte post docs onto the support site I'll link to them here.
Update: Seth says it was even closer than 90% done. "Oops"!

Apple evangelist makes IBM move
Apple evangelist makes IBM move
Interesting timing considering my comments yesterday.
EARTHQUAKE!
Update: Ruth says it was 6.2 just south of Seattle!
Update: Andrew says it was 4.7 here in Victoria. Easily the strongest I've felt.
Holy crap!
We just had an earthquake in Victoria!!! (at 10:55)
It wasn't severe, but it shook my office something fierce -- my monitors were swaying on my desk...
Right after it happened, Andrew, who works downtown AIM'd me:
"did you feel that??? :-("

Life is not without a sense of irony. With all the fat around my gut my knees should be back in top shape in no time! ;-)

Death of Newton + 3
Grant is still waiting for Apple's smooth transition from the Newton to Mac OS-based products.
Thanks for the reminder of the 3rd anniv. of the NewtonOS' execution, Grant. My MP2100 and eMate 300 are still alive and kicking. And the Palm IIIc I bought in November (regretting it) sucks steaming piles of donkey doo-doo in comparison.

openadaptor
I've been meaning to point to openadaptor.org for a while. Maybe I did, I can't remember.
I wrote an openadaptor-like system last year for a customer of OAAI. It was very cool (IMHO) and openadaptor is too.
The system I wrote is becoming more and more central to their systems. If you're looking for a way to integrate your systems, take a look at openadaptor.
What a tangled web I weave...
Was surfing the web today when I found the WebObjects page on the c2.com Wiki. I found it from the What's Wrong With EJB page on the c2.com Wiki. I found that on Lambda the Ultimate which was linked from More Like This.
I also noticed Bill Humphries saw my post about WO URLs on Feb 10th of More Like This. I disagree with his opinion but won't bore you with my reason... yet.
