posting an excellent series of links to first hand, personal accounts of the events of yesterday (and going forward). As he wrote, “the Personal Web certainly shined” yesterday. And today.
I don’t have anything
to add today. Well almost nothing. At midnight, I started receiving phone calls from NY. People who had checked in much earlier, that we knew were safe, who knew their friends and loved ones were safe. And who, after some time alone, away from the event, were very upset. One of whom couldn’t bring himself to mention something I know he saw. All I can add to the ongoing commentary: don’t assume that physically well people are OK. If last night was any indication, they’re probably not. They need your warm embrace, and your quiet voice in their ear, and most importantly your ears, fully attuned to whatever they need to communicate.

Security Systems Standards and Certification Act from Wired News’ Declan McCullagh: Hollywood Loves Hollings’ Bill.
“If this would go forward, it would be a huge gift for the fair-use community. It would be right up there with Sklyarov,” says Jaszi, talking about the outcry the DMCA prosecution of Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov has caused. “It would be an amazing mobilizing tool.”
A ton of folks
have been watching and commenting on the continuing development of Mac OS X. Unix people seem to be genuinely interested – even excited in some cases. Anyhow, today ZDNet published an interesting article in this vein: Why Apple’s bass-ackwards Unix approach is the right way.
Just got back from
a couple of days in the country at a cottage without electricity, with a privy out back, and folks who make some lovely music. Anyhow I was half dreading coming back, as there were a couple of little nit-picky things I had to do soon, if not tonight.
One of them was to register my copy of Sig Software’s Drop Drawers, which gives me popup folder functionality in OS X. A good little app, and something I’m happy to pay $15 for through Kagi. And it turned out to be the easiest thing in the world to register the copy on my box. I just copied a long text block from the email they sent me and started the app. It read the clipboard, saw that my code was there and that’s it – the thing was registered. Beautiful in its simplicity. A nice way to ease into the week – other times I’ve had nightmares with non-functioning registration procedures and such.
