Blogtalk keynote speach by Mat Mullenweg: Wordpress and Jazz

My approach to writing code is to write a program as if there existed a super library which could already perform virtually any task I needed done.

Dave Winer pointed to a newsletter by Jacob Nielsen from april 2000 Nielsen advices not to use reset or cancel buttons and states:

The Web is not an application environment, and it usually doesn’t have dialog boxes. Instead, the Web is a navigation environment where users move between pages of information.

The world has certainly changed in 6 years

ps. Dave pointed to this article 6 years ago i guess. Bloglines is showing old postings somehow:

I tried to install microsoft Max but it doesn’t do ‘foreign’ languages:

Dave Winer inspired me with his mini-sites (pda.scripting.com bbcriver.com nytimesriver.com) he created specially for browsing on mobile devices like smartphones and pda’s. I added some funtionality to opmlmanager.com which makes it easy to browse your opml online and read your feeds. Looks like nothing special on your computerscreen, but works great on your mobile device! If you have a smartphone or pda and have internetaccess then you know that it’s not always easy to navigate your favorite sites on the tiny screen. You have to scroll to a whole lot of crap before you find the main content.

Opmlmanager now offers a solution for that. Just sign up for an account, add the rss or atom feeds of your favorite sites, or import an opml-file (almost every newsreader, aggregator will let you export your subscriptions in opml format) and bookmark the mobile browsing address in your phone: http://www.opmlmanager.com/mob/username.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

I’m listening to a podcast from the Dead guy hippy shit show which is featuring almost every track from the wall, not by Pink Floyd this time though but by

Luther Wright & The Wrongs. Its in blue grass / country style, banjo’s and stuff, really done very well. Specially good to listen to when you know the wall by heart, they even did the inbetween song sounds, if you get my drift…

Go listen!

What’s your personality?

Your turn!
