just in case everyone didn't catch my last item last night, "davosnewbies" is at #4 on the hit parade at the top 100 editthispage.com sites. over 30,000 hits, 60 members! go, baby go.

opinions about bill

bill gates career move is really impacting the industry. it's all over the news; everyone's talking about it. i was at a dinner party last evening, and it dominated the conversation ... and these were just businesspeople, not folks in the internet industry.

and that spurred a thought. could this be a first move on bill's part to soften the doj blow? the news reports have so linked the "evil empire" of microsoft with the name of bill gates ... would removing the focus of the vitriolic dislike make microsoft a 'likable' company?

i wonder. when has bill ever merely "responded?" he has his fingers in a lot of opportunities ... know about teledesic? look at the shareholders there, and their plans. look at the partners. and this is just one of his many opportunities, albeit one that's not being trumpeted from the hilltops.

i have a feeling he's going to be in our internet lives for a very long time.

say goodbye to this bill. i think we'll be saying hello to the next one very soon.

morning

hey, davenet's thinking along the same lines about bill ... is this a response, or a strategy?

here's a link i haven't hit in a while ... composing good html. after the jakob article, it's a good read. should be in the format of linuxnewbies though.

serverwatch is an interesting site i've found on my personal journey to a server.

montana news daily linked to array on his site ... and has made the top 100. congratulations ... and i'm returning the favor. i can't wait to sit back and read the 'hungry horse news' this weekend ...

you know, editthispage.com is becoming a real give-and-take community. i hope as it progresses, it doesn't lose this feel.

oh no ... another twisted idea. i think i've figured out how to get multiple templates working ... stay tuned for when i release the site that documents the creation of the "davosnewbies" site. i think i'll try it there ... brent, i'm firing you an 'e' to see if i'm correct about this ...

afternoon

whoosh. still working on the "earth's birthday" project. the client and i have been pounding on the designs for multiple subsections most of this week. [about 100 MB worth]. we're getting there.

ever had problems with space?

obviously, i have some time today. working on designs for the inside sections of davos-newbies, but the debut pressure is off. time to polish the apple.

i'm running frontier 6.1.1, and i've made a pact with myself to start it when i start my machine, and begin to integrate it into my daily routine. i realize that the better i know frontier, the more efficiently i can work. the problem is always the time factor. that's why i'm so gung-ho on manila. getting my clients on it will allow me to become immersed full-time in frontier.

so, this afternoon, i'm digging in the search userland area, finding nuggets of gold. picture a man in a closet rummaging around. that's me.

anybody into the lord of the rings?
