Tripp pointed me to it: Konfabulator. A strange name for a nice technology. Not revolutionairy in what it accomplishes, but revolutionairy in the way that it works on both Windows and MacOS. Konfabulator is (as they say themselves) a “Javascript runtime engine … that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to.” I guess (from what I know now) is that you can best compare it to XAML, with added MacOS support and a completely open format. For free.

Lino has a very interesting article about the future of Delphi. If you love, hate, use or in any other way know Delphi, please read his story. Mind you: it will hurt.

Oracle did not release the real thing yet, but a developers release for Windows. Basically it means the same thing as Early Adaptor release, or “we’re not quite sure, but we can’t let you wait anymore” release. Almost a month behind the Linux release, and still no production version!

If you received an errormessage trying to reach this blog (or trying to send mail to rare-it.com), than it should be solved (hey, you’re reading the blog now, so I guess it’s true!). My domains were expired. I thought DirectNic would send me an email when it was about to happen, but this year they did not. So I forgot. With me being employed by Sogeti, I’m not sure what will happen next year. But with the current dollar-euro-rate, I thought $30 for 2 domains was not something to worry about.

I’ve sold the S2 Pro. To this guy, so it has a good new home now. Filip is a nice guy, looking for a job in DTP, so if you run an advertising-agency and are in need of an DTP-er, he’s your man.

Adobe released version 3 of Photoshop Album Starter Edition, their free version of PSA. PSA integrates with Photoshop Elements, like Adobe Bridge integrates with Photoshop, albeit with less features. At the moment only an English version is available. This version will upgrade albums from earlier version, but if you have bought your earlier version, please note that features available in a licensed version are not always there in the free version. So, make a back-up first!
