Wow, Albuquerque is turning into a tech scene. They still have the very cool Start Up display at the museum—worth a trip to town by itself. Full of hands on fun, a whiz bang multimedia conversation between a bunch of computers and lots of old computers, tubes, and hilarious photos of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs when they were just getting started.

And there’s more.

BarCamp Albuquerque is Sept 13 and 14. Its all about the web — Design (visual, experience, information architecture), Technology (infrastructure, programming), Social and New Media, and other stuff.

There’s an interesting program about developing with Adobe Flex at the NM Internet Professionals Association meeting on Sept 11.

It’s the end of life for the Netscape browser. For the first 5 years or so after I learned HTML, I had such an intense and ongoing relationship with Netscape Navigator that I referred to it as “my significant other.” Lately it’s slipped further and further into the dust bin of my mind, and our relationship has dwindled to almost nothing.

Alas, the once mighty giant seems to have suffered a similar fate in the minds of others. AOL announced that the browser has finally fallen into that software category known as “end of life.” In English, that means, “We ain’t spending one more man hour of effort on this software: not on support, not on fixes, not on updates. The party is over.”

Who would think a person could wax nostalgic over the browser wars and feel a stirring of the old loyalty to Netscape when its lonely end is upon us? But I do, I do. So long, Netscape. It’s been a pleasure to have known you.

Recently I’ve been getting tons of comment spam that akismet isn’t catching. I had this blog set to forward mail to me when there was a questionable comment. Getting all that comment spam in my mail has caused my server to be banned by my home ISP. In other words, just about all my mail is considered spam now. I’m trying to get  it fixed, but if you have been trying to contact me for the last week, I probably haven’t received it.
