  • ThinkLinkr, another pretty slick web-based outliner.

  • The Smart Disorganized reboot is still in progress …. Today, a sad story about GeekWeaver. A couple of weeks ago I needed to revamp Gbloink!’s web presence. Quickly. And, I was in no position to do it in GW. So I fired up a copy of WordPress and made : Gbloink! I also needed a…

  • XHP actually looks pretty cool. On the surface, it’s just a cleaned up PHP. But the cleaning up (putting XML into the language) actually gives it some of the character I was hoping for in GeekWeaver.

  • A quick thought … working with a lot of Django and Pinax at the moment, I’m seeing a lot of use of Python’s varargs. Functions that just take *argv, **kwargs I find I don’t like this. I want to see argument lists as explicit as possible. I feel uncomfortable and a bit lost. I feel…

So last night I decided to restart with…

Then imagine that *everything* is a template. That’s the way that GeekWeaver is already going. Everything is a template (ie. has named slots that can be…

  • And I thought I was ambitious, trying to write a programming language! My friend Oli has decided to reinvent programming as we know it. Details are still trickling out via his web-site : Semantic Programming. And I’m in frenzied skype conversation with him, trying to figure out what it’s all about. In outline, it starts…
