Saturday Morning Thoughts

Just making my way through NetNewsWire and thought I'd take some notes.

  • Dave Winer is working on Trackback still. He's got autodiscovery stuff working. I'm wondering if they're also going to include a place to put in trackback urls by hand if the users want. I've been starting to do that when I have more than a few articles I'm tracking back to in a single post. Since the more things you have to autodiscover at post time means longer times for the post to go through.
  • Dave also points to more comments about problems with CSS. This hits on my frustration point, but in a slightly different way. I'm pissed at MS about most of this, not CSS. How long has IE 6 been around? When was the last time there was a patch to fix how things were rendered. In contrast I watch Apple's work with Safari, where they are making every effort to make sure things work right. They even have a button on the browser to report pages that don't display right (I hope this stays there in the release version).
  • BoingBoing made me laugh out loud this morning with a post about Senator Rick Santorum's Guide to Appropriate Sex.
  • Population: One has a link to the 25 All-Time Greatest Covers of American Comic Books. Also included is the 25 worst (I thought the one for The Rifleman was pretty damn funny).
  • Here's some cool OS X freeware.
