I don’t think they make people like this any more
Two deaths caught my eye this week, both over in the good ole’ US of A. But the the thing is, men and women all over the world similar to these gentlemen leave us on a daily basis; these are the generations to whom we owe everything.
“It’s important that we don’t allow ourselves to lose him,” Geren told CNN by phone. “It’s the memory of heroes like James Hoyt and the memories of what they’ve done that we must ensure that we keep alive and share with the current generation and future generations.
“Mr. Hoyt, as a young man, saw unspeakable horrors when he was one of the soldiers to discover the Buchenwald concentration camp, and those are experiences as a country and a world we can never forget.

“My grandfather was to Western shirts what Levi’s was to blue jeans,” Steve Weil told Gallo. “One of his most remarkable traits was an ability to live on his own terms. That’s probably the result of growing up in the early 1900s and enduring the Depression. He was self-made and self-educated, and he had a strong code of ethics.”
A hat tip to ‘Papa Jack’ Weil (hat-tip to Boing Boing).

Install HTML validation on OS X
Oh now this is handy. I was after an HTML validator to run on my machine. So, off to Google, which came up with an article on the Apple Developer Connection site: Installing the W3C HTML Validator on OS X. All well and good, but a bit of a palaver. Why not try this instead?
Validator S.A.C. (Stand Alone Complex) is a stand-alone, easy to install, version of the W3C’s HTML / XHTML Markup Validator for Mac OS X. Validator S.A.C. is a normal Mac OS X application. No installation is required, just put Validator S.A.C. where you need it.
Does what it says on the tin! Validator S.A.C.

Notes and Domino obsolete?
Uh oh. I can hear the gnashing of teeth from here.
In the future, if nothing else changes, I personally believe IBM Lotus Notes and Domino will be irrelevant at best, assuming that the products continue to exist. In my view, the most likely scenario is that IBM Lotus will merely try to hang on to its shrinking customer base through a never ending stream of minor point releases that change virtually nothing but that may obscure for a time the fact that the solution is no longer economically viable…
My advice to Lotus Notes and Domino professionals is to start learning new skills. Technology changes. Get used to it.

Chandler 1.0
Remember Chandler? Around 6-7 years ago, the web was a-fire with talk about this much-hyped open Personal Information Management (PIM) tool from the Open Source Applications Foundation, brain child of a certain Mitch Kapor. Well, we all missed it, but version 1.0 went live last week!

If I was a proper programmer...
… I’d write a decent synchronisation solution. For God’s sake, what kind of an error message for end-users is this?
This is from mark/space’s Missing Sync application but to be honest, could have come from anything: they’re all crap!
