Experimental code. This entry comes from an email message. I’ve added
some special code (and security) to permit addition of entries to
mungenet in a quicker way. There is also a mechanism for sending entries
via mobile phone SMS messages.

Murphy’s Wireless Law
Murphy’s Law. The part of the Melbourne Qantas Club that has good signal strength for Skynetglobal is the part without power.
InDesign Secret Trick
So begins another week. This article may assist you in troubleshooting InDesign 2.0 files: InDesign 2.0: Determining Document Heritage. Found it on the weekend when noodling around InDesign. Sad, isn’t it?
RSS
More weekend playing around and learning something new: : this is the link to the RSS feed from this web site.
Old Browsers
Evening fun and nostalgia: Deja Vu displays today’s web sites through the eyes of old browsers. The first browser I installed was NCSA Mosaic on a Mac. What frustrated me most was that forms were not implemented on the Mac, but were for Windows 3.11. If only I had grasped the fuller picture then, I may have become an internet millionaire (and pauper!)
InDesign 2.0 Flattener Tricks
InDesign 2.0: Printing Output Choices and Flattener Tricks (including force Greyscale export!)
Fixed a bogus logic error in my code; made images that linked to other places (img wrapped in a href). Sorry.
Trilogy in Many Parts
I’ve just completed the final part of my trilogy on InDesign 2.0, Spot Colours and output.
Part 1: InDesign 2.0: Generating Composite, Trapped PDFs
Part 2: InDesign 2.0: Spot Colors, Transparency
Part 3: InDesign 2.0: Photoshop with Spots, InDesign and Composite PDF
If you look at , you will see google searches that have arrived here. Every now and then someone searching for “Moonshine Distilling” hits my site. Sadly for them, it has absolutely nothing to do with illegal alcohol production in stills.
CSS and mungenetengine
30 days to a More Accessible Weblog: Interesting Sunday reading, even if you are not a weblog-person. It details how to create more accessible sites in HTML. Spent some time adding title attributes to the a href's that the mungenetengine generates.
Got my first servlet working with Apache Tomcat. Also downloaded and using Eclipse 2.0 as the IDE. Fun and frolic with web.xml configuration files, jar files and the like.
Travel
Now in Sydney, watching the sun rise over the CBD. Thanks to Qantas, got a late-stage upgrade to business class. Watched A Beautiful Mind, and slept for about 10 hours on the flight. In Sydney for all of three hours, then off to Auckland, New Zealand.
Now in cool, wintery Auckland, New Zealand. Some 30 hours after leaving San Jose, California
As my hosting provider is adding some level of Java support soon, and its a language that is becoming increasingly “hip” at Adobe, I’ve installed Tomcat 4.0 ready to rock and roll. The last time I seriously touched Java was back in my Apple days with WebObjects 4.0. It feels like getting back into a pair of comfortable shoes.
