Steffen Wesemann hit by car
Oh man. Training accidents seem to be piling up lately. And it's constantly car drivers and trucks that are running over cyclists.

HP 200 LX
If anyone is wondering about the many links on the right side about the HP 200LX Palmtop - I picked one up on eBay and want to tinker with the device a bit. The main reason is nostalgia - the little box was simply great, and a DOS-based palmtop has the advantage that I can fall back on various beloved software packages from back then (for example, the fantastic PC Scheme from TI and Lotus Agenda, which was pretty cool for its time as a personal data agent).

Morons in the News: Conservative response to Fahrenheit 9/11: A conservative film festival
If anyone ever needs a little reassurance that the world is far more insane than anything our federal comedians can come up with: in the USA, Republicans want to hold their own version of the Cannes Film Festival in protest against Michael Moore's new film, and they're planning to do it in Dallas (for me, ever since the TV series of the same name, the epitome of shallow film torture). Because apparently Cannes is to blame for Michael Moore's film making it to cinemas.

Zypries plans levy on PCs and printers
And the personified incompetence of the German federal government continues working to implement everything as absurdly as imaginable. Eventually, copyright fees will be levied on pencils and paper because they are basically suitable for copying too.
One thing will never see a copyright fee, though: politicians' brains. They're far too small and limited to copy anything ...

Particularly foolish, however, are SPD politicians who are now starting to play unions off against each other.

Dashboard III
Some more background on what Dashboard is technically and how it works. Cool construction: Bundles (basically marked directories) with a web page, CSS, JavaScript and optionally native code that gets loaded into this whole mess. And all the graphical effects are simply CSS3 possibilities, so everything is built on standards. Sounds quite interesting.

Dashboard
The Safari programmer's blog tells quite briefly what Dashboard widgets are made of: HTML pages with CSS and JavaScript for the dynamic portion. That's clearly quite different from Konfabulator widgets, which are written in JavaScript only and have far less to do with web pages. Sure, Dashboard copied the idea from Konfabulator - but from what one can read, Dashboard goes well beyond Konfabulator in many ways (for example, the configuration pages on the back of the widget - cool idea). Whether this really is a copy of Konfabulator, or whether it was simply logical that this feature would eventually come along, is certainly debatable. To those claiming that Konfabulator was copied, I just want to remind them of one thing: NextStep already had irregular windows and similar graphical gimmicks in its time, albeit much more moderately and of course not in this technical implementation. Still, the idea really isn't as new as some would have you believe now. Strictly speaking, the sticky notes are already an application that moves in the Dashboard direction in terms of design - just not built generally, but specialized.
My personal assessment is that the Konfabulator people simply anticipated something with their tool that had to come sooner or later - they simply filled a gap until that point in time. But expecting that Apple wouldn't come out with such tools would be just as naive as expecting that Apple would stop delivering a web browser for its own system.
On the other hand, I could of course be completely wrong...

Ministry of Justice wants to place further obstacles in the way of online copiers
No, Mr. Hucko, with such an absurd proposal, poor pigs is the wrong term. Stupid pigs is more fitting if you're suggesting extending the information rights of law enforcement agencies towards Internet providers to private snooping operations of the film industry. Such nonsense. At heise online news you can find the original article.
Tour withdrawal for Jaksche after training accident
And darn. I like Jaksche - a likeable driver, always seems pretty relaxed in interviews and not as intense or even arrogant as some others. And he's a damn good driver - he certainly would have brought a bit more excitement to the Tour.
