BurningbirdOne of the old DHTML examples that still works is this Dance of the Sugar Plum Divs, using animated objects built on top of cross-browser DHTML objects. Just in case anyone is interested, here are the cross-browser objects, and the Animator classes.
This technology is the same that powers AJAX.

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.

Running Yasu to clear my system and user cache and to repair permissions, followed by running fsck a couple of times seems to have worked.

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.
