Browser Black Boom
Mar 25 Thu (07 PM)
On Monday I let fly the Browser Black List on the Web Standards Project’s mailing list.
What a response. Like I expected, it was met with a certain amount of hostility that I had to respond to, on the list.
Various people accused the BBL of being too agressive, too much a vigilante move.
I ended up defending myself and my idea for a couple of days. In the mean time I set up a mailing list (browserblacklist (with an ‘at’ sign) onelist.com) that people can talk about the idea on. So far I’m the only person to post, on single e-mail. I realize that I’m going to have to feed this some more energy if it’s going to grow.
My problem is that things have been just piling up over the past few days and weeks. I’ve been putting _way_ too much energy into my sites, when that time should be used on, say, taxes, or cleaning up my desk, hooking up the stereo so that Amy can record some tapes, etc.
(Currently listening to Mick Harvey’s Intoxicated Man. I was hesitant after the first listen a year or two back, but it’s really grown on me. I don’t, as a rule, enjoy discs that try to cover a wide range of music, but Harvey does a great job with this one.)
Time to get home.
