Go RSS

January 31, 2003 geezer

The more feeds I add to my feed reader Syn­dirella, the more I for­get read­ing blogs with­out xml feeds. We defi­nately have quite a chal­lenge ahead, orga­niz­ing the increas­ing amount of blog posts in ways mak­ing it easy to select, … Con­tinue read­ing →

Blogroll from OPML via XSLT

January 31, 2003 pollas

Since swith­c­ing to Syn­dirella I’ve wanted to gen­er­ate my blogroll from the OPML file hold­ing my sub­scrip­tions. So now there’s a blogroll on the left of the site, still includ­ing some rather poor blogs added dur­ing my feed craze. I’ve … Con­tinue read­ing →

Wishes for Syndirella

January 26, 2003 pollas

Hav­ing to sign up with Yahoo to be able to use the Syn­dirella mail­inglist made me for­get about it. But Brad Choate saved me the trou­ble of mail­ing a wish list; very rel­e­vant wishes indeed…

Who’s around

January 21, 2003 geezer

I’ve been search­ing the net for soft­ware allow­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tion between peo­ple shar­ing the same wi-fi con­nec­tion for a cou­ple of days now. Trepia is close — it’s basi­cally an IM client based on access points. What I really want, though, … Con­tinue read­ing →

I have just cho­sen to dis­trib­ute pollas.dk under a Attribution-ShareAlike license. And you’re absoulutely right, this place isn’t flooded with mate­r­ial worth using.

Hey, it’s only a game

January 21, 2003 geezer

This game — America’s Army — is bound to get hacked or tam­pered with in some way. (link via Boing­Bo­ing) The setup of game vs. war is so obvi­ously weird it’s hard to come up with any decent com­ment rang­ing … Con­tinue read­ing →

3G porn

January 21, 2003 pollas

Not a sur­prise at all, rather — think­ing of the pre­vi­ous devel­op­ment story for the web — a rea­son to wish for all the 3G porn you can think of: BizRe­port — Will Porn Lead 3G Mobile Tele­phony Take-Off?. Which … Con­tinue read­ing →

Go Syndirella

January 20, 2003 pollas

I’ve been run­ning Syn­dirella for a cou­ple of days now, and to me it seems a great deal bet­ter than Fee­dreader. The dif­fer­ence in nav­i­gat­ing actu­ally comes out to Syndirella’s advan­tage, and the sup­port of the dif­fer­ent for­mats are bet­ter. … Con­tinue read­ing →

DVD-kid retrial

January 20, 2003 geezer

Appa­rantly, the stu­pid­ity never stops. Accord­ing to Aften­posten (link via Slash­Dot), Jon’s legal vic­tory didn’t last long, as Økokrim has decided to appeal. While not a very big sur­prise, it adds to the amount of stu­pid­ity sur­round­ing the busi­ness of … Con­tinue read­ing →

Did Warchalking die?

January 18, 2003 pollas

Mov­ing Web­Word — How War­chalk­ing Died claims War­chalk­ing has died. A bit too provoca­tive too my lik­ing, as I think it’s uncon­struc­tive to look at it this way. What relly mat­ters is the public’s need for wire­less inter­net access — … Con­tinue read­ing →

Russian Avantgarde

January 18, 2003 geezer

Finally went to Louisiana to see MOMAs exhi­bi­tion of Russ­ian avant­garde Books. Truly mag­nif­i­cent — can’t rec­om­mend it enough if you’re into con­struc­tivist graphic design. A prior knowl­edge of the sub­ject or a good tour guide won’t harm though, as … Con­tinue read­ing →

The UnaBlog­ger’s got some­thing going… Noticed the spe­cial blog name at blo.gs but the con­tent proved even more funny. Maybe it would be a nice idea for netluder.dk to have a pimp rss feed… Must.get.site.done.soon.

Clever bastards, eh
