Questioning the Future Web

Hi folks. The web 2.0 buzz is not over yet. We still see how old webs are transformed into more catchy and responsive web 2.0. We see extensive usage of gradation colors and light color schemes for the user interfaces. We also see how social networking applications are built which rely on user-centric contribution (or distributed contribution) instead of the old centralized and wholly administered classic webs.

Still, the web is evolving today as it was in the past. At the surface, we see how the paradigm toward the existence of web has shifted. Thanks to all web advocates who provide good reasonings to the management so that web is accepted as a part of the industry, a powerful marketing means, company’s brand and front-office. Thanks to all web PRs who provide shelters for information seekers and access for contributors in their managed and promoted sites. Thanks to all of us because we have contributed to the spreading of web evangelization, either voluntarily or paid, consciously or unconsciously, by adding contents to webs we visit, social apps we use, forums we participate, etc. We have helped the web to evolve and the evolution will resort to revisiting the web terminology, web infrastructures. We are questioning the future web. What will the future web look like? What will the future web serve us?

The Task Isn’t Over Yet

Last week I had successfully secured my domain by renewing it for another three years (nobody might want to backorder this domain, but just in case…). Renewing domain ownership should practically be a casual activity, less likely deterrent, and slightly motivational -to certain degree, people have tendency to keep stuff they don’t really need- but for me it’s absolutely on purpose.

The main motivation is the pending agenda or let’s say it in a more intense emphasis: compulsory To-Do list which has been there for a while but now is piling consistently due to dynamic changes of priorities. Achieving a balance in physics is theoretically easy compared to real-world scenario. I have been striving to designate academic or class enrollment, research and writing papers, personal research and writing applications, and personal life in balanced portions but the they are still unaligned. This sometimes makes me think that the great people in history were really great at their time because they are capable of finding the secret of self-alignment and control over time space, prevailing their peers, and maintaining the consistency of the predomination regardless of dynamic changes to their surrounding.

It’s not easy to notice that there are  some people out there waiting for my contribution in some projects I previously chimed in. Added that I have also put idle some of my personal projects, some “future-prospect” questions may arise. But, I’d like to restate that I realize the task isn’t over yet. I’m now still unloading the stack while at the same time trying to find the key of harmonious prioritization. And I will still be here, at least three years from now.

Participating in Firefox Download Day 2008

Download DayFirefox so far has helped me during the development of web application, especially its Firebug extension and Session manager and also give me the notion of standardized views of W3-compliant pages. There are some drawbacks though, which one of them might be clear and settled for a while, the increasing memory footprint while running Firefox for significant time.

While the Firefox devs have promised to address the problems and envisioned a better browsing experience, I was informed about their campaign entitled “Firefox Download Day 2008” which is aimed to break the world record of total downloads in a day.

As my gratitude for what Firefox has given me and what Firefox devs have done so far, I decided to participate in this program.

And if you are also a Firefox fan and want to join this campaign, feel free to visit the page: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/
