    Also, I've never understood RSS. It's just one of those things that I fail to grasp or utilize.
    RSS is a newspaper that hands you the articles as soon as they’re published.
    The other day I was thinking about the huge, uh, push for Push technology maybe 12 years ago. That was some silly stuff.
    Like instant messaging?

    When I'm solo in a busy coffee shop or restaurant I try to take a small table or at least occupy the corner of a big one and make it clear that the other seats are open, particularly if I'm mainly just hanging out as I am now. The guy doing sudoku is at one of the two largest tables in the place (there are no open tables just now) and he's spread out his personal effects over all the other chairs. I've seen two customers look around forlornly at the lack of available seats then go to sit outside in the 38 degree patio.

    Yes,... yes, I agree. It's totally unfair that sober you gets into trouble for things that drunk you did.

    No, like RSS. In reverse.
    Another popular type of Internet push technology was PointCast Network, which gained popularity in the 1990s. It delivered news and stockmarket data. Both Netscape and Microsoft integrated it into their software at the height of the browser wars, but it later faded away and was replaced in the 2000s with RSS (a pull technology).

    Anyone know any fairly accessible science books? I just finished A Briefer History of Time
    About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution by Paul Davies.

    Has some math but as long as you're not retarded it should be alright. I have the math skills of a sandwich and I was very enlightened by the book.

    It will fuck you the hell up in terms of how you perceive the world and time, though.

    Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything is aight.

    It may not be exactly what you're looking for but I found Indistinguishable From Magic to be a neat overview of some of the applications of astrophysics and special relativity and it was fun to read too.

    So Jabber, which is basically IM via push RSS. :P

    And instant messaging is push. I learned this fact back when iPhone push notifications were big news.

    Man I want to dress like that and run through chucky cheese to see how many children I can frighten.

    That's a Mr. Mime, not a Jynx?

    I am aware. You see Mr. Mime is a fantastic counter to Jynx.


    I am probably lying.

    Hahahaha. Mr. Mime is Psychic and so is Jynx but Jynx is also ice. Mr. Mime has less speed and Jynx can get a few dark moves. You could lovely kiss off the bat and protect from Mime subbing or throwing shadow balls like it's his business. All in all, a Jynx would probably wipe a Mr. Mime.

    It's easy for me. I'm the only person willing to sit outside so I can smoke if it's less than 50º F outside. I want a cigarette with my espresso, it's just how these things are done.

    Not necessarily "destined." "Highly likely to fail" is more accurate. Long-distance friends with benefits, on the other hand, can be great with the right people.

    Well fuck buddies don't really require much emotional involvement like trying to keep a relationship going over a long distance. Not to mention phone sex is just not that appealing.

    I’d blame it more on the atmosphere of the web v1 than anything else. Most people still saw the web in terms of television and magazines and so on—purely broadcast. Nobody was really looking at stuff from the recipient’s perspective. Except Dave Winer, of course.

    It’s a lot like how web v1 was all about putting your business online to sell physical things, rather than making an online business based around digital goods.
