Before heading over to the Web 2.0 conference at the Palace Hotel in SF this morning, I couldn't resist doing some more digging into alternate user interfaces for news reading based on the NY Times keywords.  One thing I learned the hard way is that when you access the Times site from a script (not through a browser) if you try to read an article that's too old (not sure what the time limit is) it tries to redirect you to a login page (which is pretty pointless considering that there's no human being around to log in). I hit this problem yesterday, and then hit it again this morning, but couldn't remember what the problem was. So by writing it up this time I hope to remember.  No doubt some debunked hack journalist posing as a tech industry mogul will slander me for this, but the asshat asshole has no idea how blogging works, and who the fuck cares what he thinks anyway.

There is no doubt that 3 February 1998 was a historic day.  For it was then, at a meeting in Mountain View, that a small group led by Eric Raymond came up with the term âopen sourceâ as an alternative to the description âfree softwareâ.  The question is, will history count 21 June 2007 as another such pivotal moment â the day that Open Source 2.0 was born?
