I love GreenTea.

Read stuff about wikis and blogs and all that via John Abbe and Seb Paquet. Somehow I feel that as an *implementor* – somebody who actually runs a big wiki, a blog-wiki, and codes wikis, and has an eye on his feature karma I am left out. See MeatBall:FeatureKarma. I don’t share these values. I don’t care about presentation layers or storage layers. I don’t care about standard APIs as long as there are public APIs. I don’t care whether wikis can be made to look “nice” for certain definitions of nice I don’t share. I don’t care about a lot of things these seem people care about. The only place where I feel that people with a similar mindset abound is MeatBall:MeatballWiki.

I should write a bit about the GiftSociety and how it applies to people like me who might want to start their own business based on FreeSoftware. Something about investments, expected return on investment (ROI), financing, finding investors, etc.

I think this blog needs more pictures!

“What people think they want many times is not really what they want at all. Study participants were asked to choose what they would like to eat on three consecutive Mondays. When it came time to eat the snacks, most were unhappy with their choices. They said what sounded good at the time wasn’t what they wanted when it was time to eat them. ”Who is Happy?,” FutureVision.org, as seen on the Word Spy mailing list, http://www.wordspy.com/words/miswanting.asp

Reading my inbox I get the feeling that I have the smallest softest and most boring dick in the world. Spam is amazing. Just reading the subject lines gives you a twisted view of the world. Viagra pushers, porn, mortages, viruses, ... All this trust being betrayed.

Yesterday I was looking for a way to crack a winzip password protection, so I did went looking for a solution. I found lots of sites that seemed to be from German hackers. The funny thing was, however, that these sites required a *dialer* for any of the pages! Imagine that – hacking the cracker-wannabes’ computers... Interesting.
