Movie line of the week answer
Good morning movie liners!
It looks like we had a stumper, zero takers. The correct answer was.
The Quiet Man
See you next Thursday.

Weblog Happy Birthday!
Wow, I’ve been so busy I forgot to celebrate the birthday of this weblog. It’s still an infant! Just over a year ago I posted my farewell to Blogger and my weblog of nine years to start fresh.
So, happy first birthday to this weblog, and happy 10th anniversary to my weblogging life.
It’s hard to believe it’s been that long.

Movie line of the week
This one will be a challenge, it’s an oldie, good luck!
Well, then. Now. I’ll begin at the beginnin’. A fine soft day in the spring, it was, when the train pulled into Castletown, three hours late as usual, and himself got off. He didn’t have the look of an American tourist at all about him. Not a camera on him; what was worse, not even a fishin’ rod.
Ok, quick, what movie! Send your guesses here.

Fully Baked Weblog Software
Brent Simmons: “I think the new technique web developers — or weblog developers, at least — ought to learn is static rendering: writing files to disk rather than building from a database on every request.”
I’ll have to track the progress on this font. It’s what I wanted when I switched from Blogger to WordPress about a year ago. I wanted the ability to generate static files on disk. WordPress generates your weblog from database entries. Static is king!
It’s not like I’m ever going to get Fireballed, I haven’t had over 1000 visits in a day since the early days of weblogging, but it’s something that interests me.
CNN: “But while most hurry in the opposite direction, about 180 plant workers are staying put — despite the fact that doing so could result in serious illness or even death — to battle the meltdown threat.”
Praying for the best.

Steve Jobs Killed Music
PCWorld: “Bon Jovi doesn’t explain why the coming of digital music was the fault of the Apple CEO beyond the view that his company’s iTunes service has profited from it. As many commentators have pointed out, Apple didn’t invent digital music because Apple rarely invents anything, preferring instead to perfect breakthroughs made by others such as Napster.”

In-App purchase?
TechCrunch: “Remember when everyone was freaking out over the Apple in-app subscription changes? You should. It was just a month ago. And while some of the fears that arose do appear to be very real, the two things most people focused on were Amazon’s Kindle app and the Netflix app. Well guess what? Both received updates today, and neither includes the supposedly mandatory changes.”
That’s a relief. Let’s hope this doesn’t change.

Short sighted in San Francisco?
TechCrunch: The city isn’t thanking Twitter for bringing all these high paying jobs to San Francisco, either. Rather, some supervisors don’t want the tax break at all, and seem quite willing to see Twitter bail to tax-free Brisbane. Says Supervisor John Avalos: “Who are the [Twitter] investors? Probably some of the wealthiest people in this country. And we are giving them more wealth.â€
Dave Winer: “When I designed Radio2, I aimed to create the thinnest possible blogging tool, one that did the least possible and still was useful. Simple yet useful, and usable.”
Dave’s latest cut at weblogging and social media. It has a very simple UI and he’s sharing it.
Very nice.
