29. March, 2002 - slow news day
- In my morning news-trolling this morning, I found exactly nothing worth linking to. Good thing I've usually got about a dozen links piled up and waiting for a theme to weave 'em into.
- Dan Gillmor has started a blog about Customer Service. Or the lack thereof. It'll be interesting to see him writing for himself, rather than the Murky News. [scripting]
- Dan Gillmor tells a pretty cool story in Journalistic Pivot Points. It's a shame the Murky News has such horrible presentation, though. If I don't use the "print me" layout, the text is an inch wide, one or two words per line. Knight Ridder. Blegh. And as others have pointed out, the correction probably would have happened during the Q & A, anyhow. If you're writing for publication and aren't sure about something, you're supposed to double-check, right? [evhead]
- Dave Winer's looking to put together a Weblog Directory. Which makes me wonder where Dave's Picks might fit. I don't think it does, unless he adds an "eclectica" category. [scripting]
- The St. Paul Pioneer Press ran an article in their "Your Tech" section on the Blog.craze. Complete with the horrible KR layout. And the fact that none of the URLs are actually links. [Jim]
- IE, Apache Clash on Web Standard. Digest authentication, in particular. Microsoft didn't implement the standard correctly, but they don't particularly care, since IE works just fine with IIS, so what's the problem? [cam]
- The 404 Research Lab collect good error messages. They also have information on how to make your 404 more useful.
- Modifying Dreamweaver to Produce Valid XHTML explains just what you think it would explain. [zeldman] So next on the want-list are Web Standards and Tools. Can you use the same sort of tricks to make Dreamweaver generate accesible web-pages? I don't know, but this article points to the tools you'll need to find out. [zeldman]
