22. February, 2002 - software, webby things, blogging
- Results, Not Resolutions: A guide to judging Microsoft's security progress. There's a lot there that Apple could learn from, too. I keep being surprised that a killer virus for Mac OS X still hasn't hit people.
- Microsoft logging your surfing habits if you use Windows Media Player. Beyond looking up CD information in a database on the net, Microsoft transmits a unique ID back to that server. There's also the file on your hard drive that tells what you've watched, but that worries me a lot less than the sending back a unique ID part. [some guy]
- Slash Forward: Write a better Weblog. And brush your teeth after every meal. [zeldman]
- If you need the Internet to pay for itself, you're going about it the wrong way. Well. There it is. [fark!]
- Dave Winer's CSS Survey asks:
If you had to choose between the philosophy of CSS or the philosophy of Dogma 2000, which would you choose?
Well, I don't know that there's a philosophy of CSS other than separating content from layout, which pretty much matches what the D2K folks are trying to do. Personally, I find that between having a CSS layout and a relatively good templating system in place, I do just scribble some pages, spread some colour on it, stick it together with some gaffa tape
most of the time. And y'know what, it works pretty darned well for me.
And I've continued updating Why avoiding tables (for layout) is important. [scripting]
- Why CSS is another essay saying why using CSS to help separate layout from content is a Good Thing (tm). [scripting]
- Steph tells us What Attracts Women to Men. I won't spoil the ending, but at least a couple times I know I've blown it before I even figured out I was interested. So do I make a conscious effort to always be
on
or just continue bumbling my way along? Hmm. And I suppose I should get the commenting stuff working one of these days so that sort of question isn't entirely rhetorical. [steph]
