Daily Wireless has an interesting writeup of a program called Jambo. Looks very cool. 2006-05-29T20:46:57Z
James has written up MP3Outliner. More thanks! (Both James and Keith like my "zany" cartoon, as well. I'll hopefully do another cartoon if I get a good idea while out on my walk). 2006-05-29T12:38:22Z
Ed Brayton has found an example of Paul Nelson lying about Keith Miller. There's another creationist struck off the "trustworthy list". 2006-05-29T10:18:49Z
Webpages have a secret beauty which a simple Java applet can reveal. 2006-05-29T10:07:40Z

Anyone know German? If so, what's this say?
I've tried Babelfish and the response isn't particularly readable. I've always wanted to learn German so that I could read Kierkegaard Nietzsche, but never got around to it. Blame computers - I spend too much time learning computer languages instead of non-computer languages.
MP3 Outliner: Music Notebook 2006-05-29T14:30:38Z
I've just released a new function for the MP3 Outliner called the "Music Notebook". It's taken me a little while to figure out how this works, but here's what it does.
Everybody now gets a Music Notebook. The point of this is that it's supposed to be very easy to add things to.
I have set up what is called a "responder". What this does is makes it so that if you visit a specific URL it'll do things.
With the Notebook, you can 'bookmark' outlines simply by clicking a link.
You can open your Notebook by choosing "Tools > opmlUtilities > MP3 Outliner > Open Notebook"
If you are putting together an outline, you can add a link to it so that people can add that outline to their notebook by going to "Tools > opmlUtilities > MP3 Outliner > Add Notebook Link". There is also a link in the preview page which you can click or copy'n'paste.
To update, download the new opmlUtilities.root file. Then ensure that OPML Editor is quit, put the root file in to the Guest Databases/apps/Tools folder and relaunch the Editor. (Normal install instructions)
I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.
I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.
Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
