An email received this evening from an Apple PR person: "You are cordially invited to a press conference hosted by Steve Jobs on Tuesday March 16, at 11AM... regarding Apple's operating system strategy, with news that should be of interest to anyone watching recent industry trends in software development."

It's going to be a busy week. On Monday we're making a syndication announcement with a major portal. This funky website is going some interesting places! And on Thursday Microsoft will ship MSIE5. Glad I got my SuperHonker!

The guys at portaldeveloper.com are looking for some gigs. They do excellent work!

Esther's has a great Flash intro this year. Get ready to be impressed!

LinuxWorld: Apple's position on Linux -- No.

Steve Ivy has his own personal portal. This is so excellent, I love to see this kind of stuff happening! This is the Fractional Horsepower HTTP Server application. It's here now and right on. More.

James Spahr edits his to-do list in the browser.

The SuperHonker is here. Very strange feeling, all this power, but I have to run a different browser, and my old monitor didn't work with this machine. Everything feeeeeels weird! As always.

Now I'm off to Fry's to get a replacement for my fried monitor. Ain't life funny that way? I hate Fry's!

A random link, I was researching something else and came across this MacWEEK editorial from 1995. Gorgeously written. I wrote a piece around that time about the return of King Jean-Louis.

For review: Asynchronous XML-RPC for Frontier.

Scriptics: TCL and Java integration.

ZDNet: Silverberg unlikely to return to Microsoft.

WebMonkey: Bring out the GIMP.

SF Chronicle: Netscapees Spawning Startups.

ZDNet: Is Microsoft porting Office to Linux?

Dan Gillmor on XML. "A genuine worry in the XML community is whether major technology companies will cooperate on creating open file formats for everyone. XML was created in part to help do this, but it won't dissuade a company that wants a proprietary advantage."

InfoWorld: Microsoft reorg expected next week.

We've heard rumors that Frontier 6 will be sold at a lower price than Frontier 5. In fact, we have no plans to change pricing.
