12/15   On your UNIX machine, type "mosaic". I just did it for the very first
        time since 1995 and I totally miss Mosaic. Although it lacked many
        fancy features that we see today, it was fast and reliable. Compared
        to the elgant Mosaic browser, today's Netscrape Bloatware 4.0 is
        simply the ugliest monster (and the slowest) I have ever seen.
        \_ I've got you beat there.  1992 - one of the first versions that
           NCSA came out with and it worked fine for me.  Netscape wouldn't
           be so bad if it didn't have all that java/javascript crap.  It
           would be nice for someone to start a decent GPL web browser.
           \_ Java troll deleted.
           \_ i thought mosaic was from uiuc, not ncsa. - ali

        \_ Bloat good, stability/fast bad.
        \_ one word: lynx
           \_ Mosaic was never reliable, it was if anything more of a
              piece of shit than Netscape.

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.

3/13    Firefox 3 Beta 4:  Fast, cleans up memory good on minimize, stable,
        can install alongside FireFox 2.x
        Cons:  Extensions don't work and need to install beta versions, rich
        urlbar is nasty but as of today you can install oldbar extension
        Ah-nold would say:  Fuckin' fan-tah-stik!
        \_ Does it use less memory than 2.x when not minimized?  Long ago Fx

11/1    Intelligient writeup of Google's OpenSocial platform by Marc
        Andreesen: http://blog.pmarca.com/2007/10/open-social-a-n.html
        I got a chance to start working with OpenSocial before the public
        release as part of my job at Slide, and it's been a pleasure to work
        with.  If you're looking for an interesting new platform to hack on,
        I'd suggest giving OpenSocial a look.  Incidentally, Slide is hiring.

4/13    I use IE7 to browse a web site, and the server says the UserAgent
        string is

        CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)"

Go Other Stories: Engaging MSIs in Cyberinfrastructure On April 15-16, members of the 39 Minority Serving Institutions Consortium gathered to discuss the challenge of building a 21st century cyberinfrastructure that best serves a diverse community. NEESgrid The most recent NEESgrid workshop was held April 13-16 at NCSA. System administrators and research coders from NEESgrid equipment sites met to learn more about how NEESgrid will facilitate simulation research in earthquake engineering. A miniaturized NEESgrid-based simulation, called Mini-MOST, was demonstrated at UIUC's Newmark Laboratory.
