Hitting computers with rocks: the history of publishing-Boing Boing
Hitting computers with rocks- the history of publishing
From the early days of computerized publisher, Tor editor Patrick Nielsen Hayden explains the mystical thing they did with the rock: “For years, Tor had one computer: an IBM PC AT with an amber monitor. Towards the end of its life, in the late 1980s, it could only be rebooted by smartly hitting its CPU on the side with a particular rock. Several people shared the computer and each person had his or her own style of rock banging, and over time, the side of the CPU gradually bowed in due to repeated impacts. Claire Eddy still has the rock, kept in a high place of honor in her office.”

True tales of technology
MacConsulting – Now with WordPress
I’ve wanted to set up a blog for some time and integrate it with my website to blend the dynamic nature of web logging with my largely static site. Using a technique I developed at the DVMUG site at dvmug.org we imbedded the ICS calendar into the site with html wizardry using an Iframe tag. This allows one to embed another whole web page into the current page. This strategy works for me.
MacConsulting has been largely about Filemaker programming although my skill set extends deeply into web technologies, MySQL, expertise in OS X and Apple technologies. With the advent of the iPad there are whole new areas of interest in sharing and integrating data for a business user. It’s a whole new world brothers and sisters.
It is so great to have aligned my business with Apple technologies and innovations. The iPhone/iPad platform is a whole new world for developers and many of the Apps I work with each day are iPad capable such as Pages, Tweetdeck, Evernote, IMDB, NPR, Bento from Filemaker, Twitterific, 1Password, NetNewsWire, and on and on.
So stay tuned and I’ll post the latest and greatest as it emerges from the great netherlands of the InterWeb Wonderland.
