At 08:00: Support Opensource.org 

(This is going to be the last nugget before I go home, and have ice-cream with my friend Logi (originally http://www.hi.is/~logir) who's finally home for the summer. - Whee!)

Opensource.org desperately needs some good logo suggestions. Most of the current ones are IMO sucky.

An open treasure-chest and lots and lots of eyeballs are images that instantly spring to my mind (none of the current suggestins have those). They should not be mixed though...

At 07:00: More on Copyright Issues 

EBay plays hardball with feedback ratings at News.com, is yet another article about the evils of IP. This brings to mind how New York Times threatened to sue Amazon for referring to NYT's copyrighted bestseller list... sigh!

At 05:00: More on WWW Annotations 

Jon Garfunkel has written this comparison of several web annotators (with crit).

The page Collaboration, Knowledge Representation and Automatability at W3.org contains pointers to some high quality info, and houses an archive of the www-annotation mailing-list.

At 04:00: Interesting Readings on Knowledge Evolution and I.T. culture 

Hypertext Publishing and the Evolution of Knowledge (just add Crit) is very interesting.

I plan to buy the book The Transparent Society one day. Here's Chapter One (just add Crit) and Chapter Seven (just add Crit). They are part of the background documents for a discussion at Crit.org

Also interesting: The paper Why the Internet is Good. This working draft discusses the strengths of the Internet society and challenges most of the myths and much-hyped phrases like "On the internet nobody knows you're a dog".

At 03:00: Web Annotations Rule! 

My friend Bjarni finally returned one of my many You've-got-to-look-at-this e-mails. The link he sent me was a real gem.

CritSuite (Crit.org) is a virtual annotator much similar to the Third Voice Plugin for MSIE4+ that came to public notice a few days ago. Both are a kind of "magic eyeglass". When you look at web-pages through/with them you see what other users of the magic eyeglass have thought out-loud and scribbled between the lines. Then you can add your own thoughts or arguments. It's a kind of a discussion forum in a bottle - just add Crit. :-)

The main strengths of CritSuite are that it is an extremely well designed proxy-based browser-indepentent open source research project. It is fast and quite user-friendly and allows for a great flexibility. It adheres to official web-standards and it even allows sharing of annotations between different Crit Servers.

At the CritSuite website there's a FAQ, and list of most recent comments. ...Just to get everyone started.

Kl. 02:00: Gaman að framkalla myndir 

Kærastan mín, Stína, tók af mér perralegar ljósmyndir um daginn. Þær komu úr framköllun í gær og - eh - voru alveg jafn perralegar og við var að búast.

Núna í morgun frétti ég það hinsvegar að hún hafði látið framkalla þær í gæðaframköllun þar sem myndirnar eru skoðaðar og tékkað á að þær séu ekki í lagi! Ekki nóg með það heldur fór hún einnig með þær í framköllun í búð þar sem vinur okkar er að afgreiða!! - Hún sagði að hann hefði rétt henni myndirnar glottandi...

Ég skammaði Stínu en er að komast í betra skap núna. Hér eftir tökum við allar perralegu myndirnar okkar á stafrænu myndavélina.

At 01:00: Weblog: On 

I'm back to logging finally. I've had problems accessing my pages from my new computer at work, and then I was always too tired to write anything when I got home in the evenings.
