ACI US's academic program appears to be a response to Apple's WebObjects academic pricing. Now both are $99 for the high-end licences. With WebObjects, that means getting a $50,000 US product (unlimited tpm multi-processor deployment license) and a $1,499 product (development seat) for a grand total of $99.

Geez, I woke up this morning thinking it was Monday. I guess staying up 'til 2 in the morning screwing around with one's website can feel like spending a whole day! Yay, it's still the weekend!
Dan's Daily Doozer is back! He rants about intolerance and racism. Dan, I would have said the same thing in English class...

Yesterday was "Tourist in your own Town" day in Victoria. I'm not kidding, that's what it's called!
Cheryl (my wife) and Cyan (my 2 year old darling), myself, and our friends Alex and Ruth went to quite a few cool places! (for cheap too)
First, a tour of the city on a double-decker bus. Lots of good historical info on that tour -- if you're ever in Victoria, go on that tour, it's really worth it.
Then, the Royal British Columbia Museum. Also excellent! Haven't been there in about 10 years I imagine. IMAX was sold out, but the exibits were great!
From there, lunch at the Cheescake Cafe. 3 for 3!
Next, the Royal London Wax Museum. I've never been there, even after living here for over 10 years! Sheesh. I'm going to go back. I was rushed today.
Finally, a great boat ride down the Gorge and back to the Inner Harbour. I've always wanted to ride that little boat. It seats about 12 people.
We took LOTS of pictures! Thanks Alex!

Cool! A Linux emulator for Linux! "The user-mode Linux kernel is a port of the Linux kernel to its own system call interface." (via WonkoSlice

Slashdot Interview - Jakob Nielsen Answers Usability Questions: "I am starting to think that the solution is to treat information objects as members of a soup and manage them by attributes rather than by hierarchy and name"
What I really want to know is, does Jakob Nielsen realize he just described the [Apple] Newton platform exactly, including using the exact same terminology the Newton used?
Yes, I'm still pissed off that Apple killed the Newton. My MessagePad 2100 is still faster and better and finding information than any other PDA to date, which makes it a harder pill to swallow. I mean, if the Netwon had been eclipsed in this area by now, that'd be a different story.
