AOL Replaces IE with Netscape in New BetaI think it's interesting that AOL's finally prepared to "bet the company" on its own alternative to IE. I wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact that "Mozilla now supports SOAP." (quoted from Mozilla 0.9.9 Release Notes - What's New)

AOL's finally got a browser platform that can act as a web services "user agent", opening new opportunities for their users and content providers that parallel (or perhaps even exceed) those promised by Microsoft with .NET.

Expect more news on this in the next year...

On My Own - Doing It By The Numbers
Over the weekend I got my first call on a consulting opportunity.  A few calls later I realized something - I hadn't figured out how to price my "product!"
It's pretty hard for someone to buy something (or even determine whether they're interested) if they don't know the price.

I promised lots of friends, colleagues and former co-workers that I'd let them know how things are going, so I plan to catalog the steps in my process here on my blog in the unlikely event that someone else decides to pursue a similar path.

I walked into the Ridgedale Apple Store and picked out a Mac Pro dual Xeon quad-core 2.8GHz CPU, an Apple Wireless Keyboard, a couple of 20" Apple Cinema Displays, and the 10-user edition of Mac OS X Server. I decided that, as part of defining my work, I needed to make sure my productivity wasn't hampered by under-powered technology.  I want to be able to do some serious computing, and there's nothing more powerful and affordable than the Mac Pro.
I'm happy to say that I'm writing this entry on my new Mac Pro, although I haven't yet installed Mac OS X Server (that'll come later, once I've planned out disk partitioning and digital workspace mechanics).
