Unfortunately, I may have to kill my little adventure in Web 1.0, as I installed a Firefox extension yesterday and it has so screwed my system up, even after uninstalling, that I’m having to run disc replair and cache clearing tools. If these don’t work, I’ll have to re-install the operating system.

Which goes to show that Firefox extensions are not as sandboxed as one would think. Hopefully clearing the cache and repairing permissions will be all that’s needed. Right now, I can’t load Photoshop, and can barely load Firefox. I’m writing this on my Windows machine, which does not have most of the software I use.

Reading the article I just re-published on XML (which isn’t a bad intro all things considered), I realized that my little invented XML vocabulary, derived from CDF, and implemented with a tiny browser-based aggregator actually beat the first implementation of RSS.

So I invented syndication feeds.

I received my beta developer credentials with Ning and am now ready to make something. I’m not sure what yet, but whatever it is, I’m sure that Yahoo or Google will want to buy it when I’m finished.

Microsoft, on the other hand, will want to squash me like a bug.

Of course, you all must realize by now that HTML frames are a RESTful AJAX.

I’m getting rather fond of the little buggers. You can follow links to sites without once leaving the comfort of the Burningbird ambience. And if I click through to my site in a link, I can then click through my site in a link, leading to being able to click through my site in a link until all that’s left is a little bitty window. Really, frames are the new Kubrick.

I wonder if blink still works…Yes it does! Since there is a semantic connection between the element and it’s purpose, we can consider blink to be the very first microformat. Good news for Tantek and the other microformat folks.

Oh, his site looks so cute in a frame.
