Larry’s Log

After a long period of giving up on My Yahoo! I’m back giving it a second look. I like what I see. I don’t know if it’s just where I am in my life right now or if Yahoo! has managed to tweak its portal offering to finally be of use to me but I […]

It’s Monday morning and I find myself again in Hartsfield-Jackson Int’l Airport heading to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hopefully this will be the last trip to that town for a while. I’ve been on the road too much lately but the end is in sight for a while. Next week I’m scheduled to be back in Augustat […]

Yeah it isn’t by much, but PCWorld is reporting that Mozilla based browsers have seen a full one percent gain in total market share.
Internet Explorer has held more than 95 percent of the browser market since June 2002, and until June had remained steady with about 95.7 percent of the browser market, according to WebSideStory’s […]

You know, if I could get my hands on a legitimate copy of Microsoft’s Visual Studio for around $100 I would probably try my hand at some of their .NET stuff.

The BBC (and probably others) is reporting an IE Browser flaw that could open a back door on your computer.

In addition to playing with Blogger again with my "Motorhead" blog I’m also experimenting with Wordpress and another hosting service.

p>Every now and then Dave Winer drops a true pearl of wisdom. A lot has been said recently about TypeKey and most of what I’ve been hearing hasn’t been too good. Since I don’t use Movable Type my interest in the debate is only academic. Six Apart is Ben and Mena’s company and they have […]

I liked Atom just fine but, geewhiz, name the damned thing something, already. This is rocking on way too long.

Dan has set Flutterby up to serve up Industrial Strength Syndication. Oh, he’s still doing RSS 0.91 and 2.0 but now he’s stepped up with a tried and true syndication method, NNTP.

The copyright on the spec for RSS 2.0 has been transferred from Userland Software to Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School. There has also been a committee of three established, made up of Jon Udell, Brent Simmons and Dave Winer, to promote and answer questions regarding the spec. This is good […]

Via Mark Paschal, Adam Curry shows us that he has more bucks than brains.
Or maybe it’s me the one who’s clueless. I don’t see how the (not)Echo project stands to damage Mr. Curry in the least bit. RSS 2.0 will continue to be supported by aggregators for the foreseeable future. Even if it wasn’t, changing […]

Dave Winer: RSS 2.0 is cool because it’s all specified in one place, written in simple non-technical English that your VP-Business Development could probably understand.
RSS 2.0 is cool. It is great that it’s all specified in one place. The fact that it is written in simple non-technical English is part of the problem with it, […]

I just ran my necho 0.1 feed through the Userland RSS Validator and it validated. What better endorsement for necho than this?

Yet another syndication format, necho 0.1, has been introduced by Sam Ruby and gang. Sam offered a preliminary spec for the format and others are releasing feeds in this format so I’m following suit. My necho 0.1 file can be found in my list of syndication feeds there on the right.

Earlier today when I read about Microsoft entering into a licensing agreement with SCO Unix I didn’t know what to make of it. While their claim was that they were doing so in order to be able to work on interoperation with Unix systems without the fear of violationg SCO’s IP that didn’t quite wash […]
