Strategic Developer: „The first server I connected to the Internet sat on the floor of my office, close enough so I could hear — and feel — its response to heavy load. It seems weird to admit that I relied on those sensory cues, but I’ve talked to enough system administrators to know I’m not…

Jon Udell: „[…] blog content would be a lot more valuable if it were easier for non-emacs-using civilians to write XHTML. I’m particularly interested in finding ways to relate the style vocabulary of a standard wordprocessor, which is the only kind of granular metadata that people will consistently apply, to an emergent semantic vocabulary in…

Ray Ozzie: „What will it be like to build applications for a world in which mobility is of primary importance? The three principal dimensions that must be considered are usage mobility and infrastructure mobility and participant mobility.“

It took me years to figure out that Netscape/Mozilla Composer is actually useful: I always thought that the „Publish“ function required a lot of magic on the server to work, but never bothered to give it a try (and used ssh + vi for even the smallest changes to my website). But it’s really not…
