Trying out NoListing

I’m trying out this “nolisting” idea which is, really clever. Of course I read about it on slashdot. I’ll be very interested to see how well it works on apokalyptik.com e-mail.  If I remember both to check and to report I’ll put up some graphs. This post ought to serv both as a reminder for [...]

I couldn’t have put it better myself

Yesterdays penny arcade hit it on the nose. Osx IS more convenient. It IS worth changing your opinions and telling everybody that all that Mac trash talking was about OS9, but OSX radically altered the very fabric of the universe and that you now have to take it all back: the Mac is now a [...]

And a TagsToItems S3 [...]

.mobi … seriously?

If we’re talking about really bringing the web to mobile devices, which are by their nature smaller, why are we using a longer domain name? sure its just one character, but… on a keyboard thats 1/15th the size of a regular keyboard… or worse… with handwriting recognition, shoulldnt we go with the motto “more is [...]
