| | Mat Kearney is amazing. Seriously, you just need to hear
it. OK, so you can probably hear enough to know if you want to
get it on www.matkearney.com.
I found some cool new technology. Mozilla, the cool people that
brought me this nice browser Firefox (which still has a couple letdowns
to IE, but I still like it), bring a whole new way to create
applications. To develop the interfaces of all the Mozilla apps
easily across platforms, they created XUL.
This is a highly standards-compliant XHTML system that defines a whole
GUI and application. As long as you have Firefox or a couple
other programs installed on your computer, you can run any XUL
application, no matter if you're on Windows, Linux, other Unix, or Mac
OS, among others. You can do menus, pop-up dialog boxes,
etc. It seems to be pretty easy to code, and as long as you're
not using IE, it'll probably work. Who knows, if it gains more
popularity, then it'll probably be adapted to IE in about 20
years. Here's a cool example that allows you to search Amazon.com. If you want, you could download/install it on your system and run it outside of Firefox too. So check it out.
A friend and I have been talking about the upcoming Narnia movie and
the books. I was talking about how I hated the post-1994
numbering of the books, and here's yet another good link to propose why one should read the books in the order they were pubished for dramatic, purist effect.
