FOAF
To be precise, I said that "FOAF is just a pure delirium, the proof that the human brain does NOT need drugs to do crazy things"

This word is totally crazy
Iraq will take in May 2003 the presidence of the...UN Conference on Disarmament!!!! No, that's not a hoax. That's just alphabetical order: India now then Indonesia, Iran, Irak, Irlande and finally Israël.

You've Got Losses!
- AOL-TW 2002 losses of $98.7 billion
- biggest loss ever for a U.S. company
- roughly half the size of the U.S. federal budget deficit
- more than 10 times the operating losses throughout the battered U.S. airline industry
- roughly equal to the price that America Online paid for Time Warner Inc. in the merger
- roughly the GDP of Ireland!!!
- Ted Turner slams the door one hour after the announcement
- "2003 will be a reset year at AOL Time Warner," company CEO Richard Parsons told analysts. Yeah, another reset year.... We're getting used to it.
- I can imagine the TW execs speaking of AOL "Cut the dead branch! Cut it now!"
I'm so proud.

XHTML 2.0 and the HTML Writers Guild
When I wrote this mail to www-html@w3.org (by the way, I still haven't got any reasonable answer from the Working Group itself; only two WG members, T.Çelik and J.Axelsson dared posting an answer; in the case of Tantek, it's even an official and corporate one) I had in mind that Ann Navarro was representing the HTML Writers Guild in the HTML Working Group. Here's what I said:
To be honest, I am very surprised that the HTML Writers Guild, supposedly representing hundreds of thousands of web authors, supports XHTML 2 without advocating more for (another) solution.
I can still here her sempiternal "I represent 50,000 web authors". It seems that it was a bit overestimated...

Friend
Yves Lafon, W3C staff, has a nice blog in french, mostly about HTTP and other exotic W3C species. Warning, he told me that Moz has a problem with the stylesheet, and apparently viewing old entries in his blog, because of a bug of ours in HTTP; Yves being Jigsaw's maaaaaster, I trust him. Oh, and I am not the only one a bit tired of spending my days, and often my nigths, on a keyboard. A garden, give me a garden...

Fashions
- yet another point of view on XHTML (mpt),
- jwz rants about XHTML, CSS and the Web standards in general,
- Hey, kid, if you still have a Segway and were not interested by this other toy, glance at that one,
- Peter Van der Beken says "Two things are very fashion these days: (a) shoot XHTML (b) shoot Mozilla",
- Totalement Crétin, Ze return of Ze revenge of Ze log, takes too long to come back to our screens,
- I am fed up with the strictness of XHTML 1.0 Strict, I am fed up with HTML 4 because it lacks so many features I need on a daily basis. I plan to switch this blog back to XHTML 1 Transitional and add to that language the stuff I need. I just don't care about validity any more as soon as the document without its DTD is still XML valid.
- Rumsfeld is a sooo funny man. "You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's old Europe" on day 1. And then on day 2 "At my age, old is a term of endearment". Hmmm. At his age, he should retire I guess.
