[FRIAM] the woman behind the woman

[Marcus Daniels]

The infuriating parts are 1) re-centralization of a de-centralized idea and 2) withdrawal of standardized means for (programmatically) reading and writing content.    If someone wants to make a pretty website that's fine (I couldn't care less), but don't do it in such a way that it makes it artificially hard to publish or access information.

I wish I had a copy of LANL's first "home" page...  modeled vaguely on TBLs page of which www.lanl.gov and xxx.lanl.gov showed up around #50 in 
his links out at that time.   It looked a lot like this.  The wayback 
machine seems only able to cough up things back to a year or two later after I'd gotten *most of* the stakeholders at LANL to at least *think
about* what the relevance of their charter was to the Web (or vice-versa).

Go Cosma!

Now it is some dorky plug-in protocol that adds no particular value.   All for the sake of taking information out of my hands and putting in "that main place".    Damned kids running around.
