Where weblogs go to die

Monday, 10. March 2003

Fucked Weblog - Where weblogs go to die” is an updated collection of weblog authors famous last words. When the blogging thing becomes too much and the the job, the wife, the kids, the bonsai trees is demanding attention, no craving it! Or it has evolved into something too personal like this guy:

If it hasn’t been obvious to you, I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with blogging. At least, with being so openly ‘myself’ online. There is so much about myself that I am keeping offline now, and most of it has nothing to do with what you might suspect. I am too tired to continue.
I’ve decided to end this site and start a new one. It will be at a different URL and I won’t use anything to obviously identify myself. That way, I should be more free to experiment with the blogging form.

The funny part is that someday I’ll be posting something similar pathetic…

Cluetrain Manifesto update

Sunday, 9. March 2003

Doc Searls and David Weinberger, who co-authored The Cluetrain Manifesto a couple of years back have made World of Ends — an inspiring Internet Manifesto in 10 headlines about “What the Internet Is and How to Stop Mistaking It for Something Else.”

As Cluetrain Manifesto it’s Internet Evangelism with a political bite and a good sense of humour, like this qoute.

Perhaps companies that think they can force us to listen to their messages — their banners, their interruptive graphic crawls over the pages we’re trying to read — will realize that our ability to flit from site to site is built into the Web’s architecture. They might as well just put up banners that say “Hi! We don’t understand the Internet. Oh, and, by the way, we hate you.”

It’s really a good read.
Beware of heavy rhetorics, though…

For the first time I could use a spa…

This ‘Entertainment Spa’ would be the coolest spa ever built!
43′ flat screen, DVD-system and floating remote control. Nice… And extremely silly ;-)

Thesis coming up…

Friday, 7. March 2003

Today we got a little closer to a subject for our thesis in Software Development at the it-c.dk.
Rasmus from lundogbendsen.dk provided some highly skilled and valuable coaching and we are getting closer to an actual subject.
As for now it’s about the open source J2EE application server JBoss. How it is designed and how to use and modify it.
Some of the theoretical stuff might concern Aspect Oriented Programming and Reflection issues.
I can allmost see the big pile of books that will have to be covered before things start making sense…
This might not make any sense to you. Don’t you worry ’bout a thing - baby ;-)

Developing an approach

Thursday, 6. March 2003

Encountered some difficulties establishing this weblog.
Choice of language for once (seems like I have already chosen) — english would reach far, but danish would be comprehensible nearby. That’s the first divide. But I think the wisest thing to do is to go international from the beginning. Doing software development and sticking to Danish seems like an odd thing to do.
My english skills - although decent - doesn’t match my native tongue. I love the freedom that lies in native-tongue-rambling, and I feel bad about turning my back to it…

I thought of implementing som kind of translation service — it could be really hilarious to see the fucked up texts that it would produce. I will keep that as an option for playing around some time in the future, when I get more time (yeah right).

So is this trackbacked

pollas.dk writes about movable jive. Will he ever notice my comment on the subject?
Trackback is kind of cool. If it works, that is…
