Sun, 30 Jun 2002 19:40:04 +0100 <A href="http://www.highcontext.com/blarchive/2002_06_29.html">Hyperreferencing</A>. <P>Found this <A href="http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkLaw.html">link</A> (via a <A href="http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,53543,00.html">Wired article on NPR's linking policy</A>) to some writing Tim Berners-Lee did about the nature of links:</P> <P> <BLOCKQUOTE> <P></P> <P>Normal hypertext links do not of themselves imply that the document linked to is part of, is endorsed by, or endorses, or has related ownership or distribution terms as the document linked from. </P> <P></P></BLOCKQUOTE> <P></P> <P>So why call it a link? I wonder if this tendancy for the unclued to imply copyright violation or some other tangible impact by hyperlinking comes from the very word itself. To link, in the traditional sense, implies some physical connection or tie. From my copy of Websters:</P> <P> <BLOCKQUOTE> <P></P> <P>link vt: To couple or connect by or as if by a link.</P> <P></P></BLOCKQUOTE> <P></P> <P>If hyperlinks had been called hyperreferences (which is what they are) from the start perhaps the widespread misunderstanding about the nature of linking would be a little less pervasive. </P>[<A href="http://www.highcontext.com/">High Context</A>] http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00000068.html Another test Thu, 05 Dec 2002 16:58:25 +0000 Test post http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00000952.html Testing RSS liveTopics Sun, 15 Dec 2002 22:59:04 +0000 Test RSS topics. http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001004.html Testing liveTopics 1.1.1 Wed, 15 Jan 2003 12:59:26 +0000 <P>I've spent the last two days reworking some of the innards of liveTopics.&nbsp; First, I've implemented a completely new preferences management system, and, second, I've removed a great deal of the cruft that has accumulated as liveTopics has grown from a quick and grotty hack into a big and tangled hack.</P> <P>This is kind of a test to see whether things are still working in my blog.</P> <P>I've also pushed the version up to 1.1.1 for reasons which are probably not too interesting.</P> <P><FONT color=red>Okay there are clearly problems...&nbsp; <grrr></FONT></P> <P>Well of course it would have helped if I had remember to reset the new preferences....</P> <P>That fixes the topic links, unfortunately the TOC is not being updated now...</P> <P>Try this.&nbsp; Nope, how about that.&nbsp; The other?</P> <P>Right with a bit of luck the ToC generator is fixed.&nbsp; Now to try and ping the Topic Exchange ;-)</P> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001071.html Test Wed, 22 Jan 2003 14:04:46 +0000 Test http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001090.html Test post Wed, 05 Feb 2003 12:43:03 +0000 <P>Testing post to check deleteItem callback in a minute.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001129.html Testing the evectors k-log Mon, 24 Feb 2003 15:45:02 +0000 <P>Testing my new evectors k-log</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001190.html Test Wed, 09 Apr 2003 09:58:48 +0100 Test http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001373.html Another test Mon, 14 Apr 2003 16:19:16 +0100 <P>This is a test -- have I broken my feed yet again?</P> <P>Yep ;)</P> <P>Hopefully i've fixed it again.</P> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001384.html Testing the k-collector client Wed, 07 May 2003 12:59:50 +0100 <P>Testing the new <FONT color=maroon>k-collector</FONT> client for Radio.&nbsp; This is a cut down version of liveTopics that works with the <A href="http://k-collector.evectors.it/">k-collector server</A>.</P> <P>The k-collector client, unlike liveTopics, is dynamic and based upon a shared topic roll held on the k-collector server.&nbsp; Compared to liveTopics k-collector is stripped down, however it is also smaller, lighter and more stable.</P> <P>I myself am switching over from using liveTopics to using k-collector so that we can test the new server properly.&nbsp; I'm not sure what will happen to the liveTopics client at this point.</P> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001455.html A test post Tue, 15 Mar 2005 11:27:07 +0000 <p>Topics are back.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002459.html
