Saturday, April 25, 1998
Feedback starting April 23, 1998. Hey, there's a ton of feedback from earlier this year. Jeopardy! Contestant Search. I'm sending in my postcard. My head is full of useless facts. If I'm selected for a try out, I'll keep everyone informed! Thursday, April 23, 1998CamRant: If I Owned an Apartment Complex... Spinfree does some really awesome design. Some of the best interface design I've ever seen. Wednesday, April 22, 1998Hey, That's me! "I am one of the first people to run across this social phenomenon [being fired for personal writing published on the Web]. I handled it OK, I just want to put it behind me. There are going to be isolated cases the media will take and turn into this big sensationalistic piece of crap." Did I really say that? Guess so. More news links (not yet on the News Page). 1. 2. 3. Tuesday, April 21, 1998Content Syndication and Brand Protection. TheOnline-Writing Mailing List. Saturday, April 18, 1998Did you know that Pepsi Co. is using a computer-generated, animated character (a silver-skinned man who reminds me of the cop in Terminator 2) named Pepsiman to sell Pepsi in Japan. Cool. Disney's $300 million site? Seems a little high to me. Are you www.pissedoff.com? You probably suck. And when you're done reading all that, here's a whole ton of other people's opinions. Friday, April 17, 1998A new feature: The CamRants Mailing List. The mailing list above is coutesy of Philip Greenspun, a popular Computer Book author. One of his books is especially good. Hi Mrs. Draplin. Tuesday, April 14, 1998If you're in the industry: We all know people like this. Speaking of birthdays...Glasssdog turned two yesterday. Hmmm....what do you make of this: The Payphone Project. Monday, April 13, 1998Happy Birthday!
It's also my favorite Internet columnist's birthday. [I promised not to reveal her age.] Did you know she wrote a story about me? She has her own mailing list. Hmmm....a CamList? Email me if you think you'd like a CamList started. As a birthday present to myself, I've decided to convert this entire site (it's getting big) into a Frontier database. The going is slow but it will so cool when I'm finished. Right now, all my pages are created statically, meaning each page is built seperately with its own HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags. Using Frontier, the parts of every page that are the same (buttons, header, footer) are put into a template and the database stores the guts of each page seperately. It's really quite fascinating, especially when you get really deep into Frontier and see how much power it has. [Subtle warning: Frontier has one of the steepest learning curves for software I've ever experienced, but don't let that stop you. Dive in and experiment!] Embarrassing revelation: I saw my site on a computer the other day using a browser whose underlining for ANCHORS had been turned off. Oops! I realized that my VLINK and LINK hex colors weren't very effective. That's why regular readers will notice the change. Friday, April 10, 1998Silly me. And here I thought Microsoft was getting better.Sheesh. Tuesday, April 7, 1998What kind of person registers a domain name like this? The Remidi Project. Nice! Saturday, April 4, 1998Ann Arbor/Detroit Frontier Users' Group: Want to join? Check out my recently updated archives... Really cool! If you're a writer of fiction and need another outlet for publishing, check this out. Backed by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, this site promises to be HUGE! McKenzie vs. Miller Brewing Company. For the intuitive, you know what this means. Expect my name to be in the news again pretty soon. Speaking of being in the news: Watch this site over the next week... |
