Another Blog to Dust. Net evolution
I am hook to my own blog. Partially, because of the good comments made by TheTrap. I check my blog about ten times a day just to see if there is new comments. Drafting on subject I may publish and preserving my text for later. I got four or five of them in production.
I already have another blog for my professional doing (Judge.NET) based on what I worked or whatever I discovered. Like a good old “.Plan” file like “All Star” programmers used to have.
I was wondering if I really needed this new laptop I just bought! Man, what a great toy it is. With that computer, I can blog every where! Even squat at the Starbuck, drink a cold coffee for hours and write, write, write. With all the miniaturization, laptop can have the power of a desktop with the portability of my wallet.
I am here watching, football (NE vs BUF... Go Pats Go) and feeling good sitting in front of my TV. Because even there I can be productive. Today in “La Presse” I saw an article about obesity, funny, I wrote about it in my last article.
It's look like I rediscover the Internet with all those new Sites based on “Web 2.0” concept, forgetting about the poor people using 56k modem. YouTube using only videos, NFL.com with live update without reload, word processing and spreadsheets online. It's amazing how the Net has evolved since last years. A couple of year ago, asking to somebody if he got access to the Net was normal. The Net is now use to complement the every day life. Everything is connected. I can't wait to the time we will elect the new Prime Minister from home.
World is changing so fast. It's fractal, every generation seems to have is “All have to be done” movement. A while ago it was about industrialization. For us it's gonna be the Internet. We must capitalize from it. Google is already doing It, but there is still place for us.
They already talking about Wireless City, offering the Web for free. The Net is and will become like the Phone or the electricity is, an essential service that everybody deserve.

Web 2.0 isn't attractive for me. It's nice, I can appreciate the technologie and the evolution of the net in our lives, but I'm not there yet. I'll be there when I won't have a choice anymore, if ever. Same thing happened with Windows 95: I upgraded when I became handicaped without it. About 2-3 weeks ago, Microsoft did a beta release of Windows Vista, they gave it away. You could download it if you wanted to try it. I tough "This time I won't be last to try new stuff, I'm a do it". So I proceeded to download a 2.6 gig iso file only realize that I don't have a DVD burner, so I can't use it. So I got this fucking file sitting on my hard disk, and I'm probably going to leave it there until it becomes obsolete, which should be any minute now. Welcome to my pathetic world.
I'm not completely afraid of new stuff. I recently got last year's hot phone, the Razr, and a bluetooth ear-thingy, which I got off eBay. I choose the sweet high-end Razr custom bluetooth devide, but I'm pretty sure I bough a cheap knockoff because it isn't worth a crap. I have a point in telling you this: I love the bluetooth concept, and I love wireless stuff like Wifi. Wireless is getting really important, more and more places (coffee shops and such) actually *need* to be equipped with it. I foresee that we (the people) will soon choose the place where we hang out based upon if they support Wifi and bluetooth, at the same value as we wouldn't go somewhere if they don't have toilets. I really like to have fast acces to a toilet when I need to piss, and I really enjoy having an IP addess when I'm having a coffee. I thinks all these things go together.
On another note, I don't like people that want something for nothing. Like, when a guy that works with my girlfriend feels like I owe him a website. Mother fucker. This dude with a bad temper has a 100$ budget to produce a website for his lame new recruting company. The guy doesn't know shit about computers, but he wants a small website. So I'm like "yeah, we can put a few pages together, as a favor". So my girl and me put 2-3 hours to produce something simple, a page that loads some content frames about his company (which doesn't really exists). But the dude feels it's too simple, and wants forms so that people can register online. Because I'm such a looser, I promptly put together a few post forms for him, upload it on the domain I registered with him. Ok, I'm done. But he's not happy, because the forms are lame. He want complicated xml and online databases, but he doesn't know that cause he doesn't know shit. So he bothers my girl, basically telling her that we are bad slaves. I'm like "Dude, you should hire a consultant firm to do this", so he kinda disappeared. Cool.
And on another not, I love people that give me free stuff. If you have free stuff to give me, contact me at joe@zonetrigger.com
