Le Big News! Si vous parlez francais et Frontier, you'll want to check this out.

Philip Martin, one of the moderators of the Frontier-en-Francais list, has a Frontier tips page, in English. Ayons l'amusement!

A group forms to bring Netscape's browser to Rhapsody.

According to Wired, there's a connection between the Palm Pilot and the Mac development communities. I didn't know that.

We're looking at Microsoft's HTML Help facility. Here's a PC Magazine article.

Jesse Berst makes a boring but valid point. Push isn't dead. It just has a different name. Email. Right on! Zzzzz.

Lots of meetings in the last few days! Glad to get back to some programming and writing. The first new thing, I've converted the Guestbook CGI to run in Frontier 5.

Please help me burn it in. Sign the guestbook, or see who has signed it. Thanks!

Check this out, it's almost funny -- this may be the first guestbook app with an XML RPC interface.

News.com: How Microsoft misfired on components.

News.com is focusing on marketing slogans and missing that there's a technical revolution hidden inside Windows, a far-reaching architecture, called COM.

Unlike other buzzwords, COM has substance, a long history, but unfortunately has suffered from Microsoft's mishandling of the marketing job, and the industry's cynicism about Microsoft.

Interestingly, News.com got the story last August: Yes to COM, no to hype.
