Re: Oddpost
Doug, actually it's not as you say. Oddpost is two guys who have mastered DHTML like no one else on the planet. It's a showcase, they're showing off, hoping that users pay them money so they can do more of the same. They're programmers, not market analysts. They're doing it because they can and because it's fun, and they want fans to love them.
Doc encourages programmers on other platforms that he doesn't use, so he's not being philosophically consistent, imho. If a Unix geek discovered something new you could do with PHP and it was inspiring in the way Offpost is, if I understand Doc (maybe I don't) he would be championing their cause. I've seen him do it many times. Nothing wrong with that, but the Offpost developers are so sweet and pure, and their software is so beautiful, it really hurts to see them judged as evil. I can't believe Doc used that word about these guys.
BTW, having animals die in the innards of your house is evil. It's happened to me. I hate it. It's the worst thing.
