Mac Developer Discussion Site Opens

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

If you are a Mac developer and are looking for a place for news and forum-based discussion, check out the MacDeveloper.org website. Just post something in the forums … anything. It’s not my site, but it could turn into something good. I can’t seem to find any good discussion. Apple’s mailing lists are too focussed, […]

Fixing the City Streets

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

I’m way out of my league here, but I’m obsessed about this, so I might as well get it out of my system.
We need a few changes to the way the streets work to make city living more tolerable. I live in Toronto, where as far as I can tell, the traffic design is completely […]

US Can’t Swallow Canada Whole: Break Into Bite-Size Pieces

Monday, November 14th, 2005

We have no national identity any longer, and we can’t get along economically. No one is willing to compromise, and everyone hates everyone else and wouldn’t care if they were lying dead in a ditch. May as well just become Americans as fast as possible. This slow death is driving me crazy. Just rip the […]

Abolish Domain Names

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

Soon, domain names like “hubrist.com” and all other will be nothing but a quaint memory, anachronistic flotsam from a by-gone Internet era (i.e.: this one). Domain names are stupid. Here’s something better.
Everyone (including companies, cities and the like) gets their own personal IP address in the IPv6 address space. Hell, they can have their own […]

Mail Server

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

I am going to create my own mail server for my domain and perhaps a few others which I manage. Oversee. Neglect. Soon, you will be able to seethe with envy at not having an e-mail address so excellent as “hubrist@hubrist.com”.

Amendment

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

I will fix the problems with this web site. It is no longer a “blog”, it is now a “manifesto”. The term “manifesto” will be taken to mean a document containing anything which I wish to include, except predictable opinions or facts which can be readily discovered elsewhere, except when those facts are necessary for […]

Obvious Answers

Friday, November 11th, 2005

What should follow is a list of trite solutions to the world’s problems. Instead, what will follow are interesting and feasible solutions to my problems with the world: non-obvious answers. Not answers like, “The world should listen to me.” More like, “I’m going to solve everything myself because everyone else sucks at it.” I don’t […]
