If you don’t already, I’d go ahead and shoot myself. Yes, you should know what I’m talking about: Strongbad Emails over at the Homestar Runner site. If you want some good old fashioned spit-and-rub humour, be sure to visit each and every Monday for something good and something awesome.
Oh and check out this Wired interview with the creator of Homestar Runner, it’s pretty entertaining in-and-of itself. I wonder who would play me in the Homestar Universe — Macaulay Culkin in Flash?
DALLAS, TX – Following the announcement that Collectrix LLC holds a patent on One-Click Blogging™, lawyers from the dotcom issued cease and desist letters to four companies all accused of infringing on the intellectual property of the Dallas-based start-up.
Userland executives, creators and developers of Manila and Radio, two automated weblogging systems had nothing to say when asked earlier in the day to comment on the lawsuit. Google, owners of Blogger, a popular automated weblogging system, told reporters that it is looking into the accusations. WordPress.org, creators of an open-sourced weblogging system, told reporters that they were in contact with lawyers at the Electronic Frontier Foundation but had no further comment. Six Apart, creators of Movable Type, a weblogging system, also refrained from commenting at this time.
Little is known currently, but Tim Swanson, spokesman for Collectrix LLC told reporters that, “this was the first in a series of potential suits to set up a licensing and royalty system for intellectual property that Collectrix LLC was recently issued a patent for. We are confident that this will hold up in court, the law is on our side.”
DALLAS, TX– The Internet conglomerate and holding company, Collectrix LLC, was granted patent 5,960,411 this past week from the U.S. Patent Office.
“This is the first in a series of key pieces designed to boost our start-up dotcom into prominence,” Tim Swanson, spokesman for Collectrix LLC told press at a news meeting earlier today.
The patent is for the method and system of placing a weblog post via a content-management system onto the World Wide Web.
Abstract
The weblog is placed by an author at a client system and received by a server system. The server system receives author information including identification of the author, weblog information, and date-time information from the client system. The server system then assigns a client identifier to the client system and associates the assigned client identifier with the received author information. The server system sends to the client system the assigned client identifier and an HTML document identifying the item and including a publish button. The client system receives and stores the assigned client identifier and receives and displays the HTML document. In response to the selection of the publish button, the client system sends to the server system a request to post the identified item. The server system receives the request and combines the author information associated with the client identifier of the client system to generate a weblog to post the item in accordance with the billing and storage information whereby the author effects the posting of the weblog by selection of the posting button.
“The future of our company is now rooted in a firm foundation with this and other intellectual property and we look forward in doing business with the community as a whole,” Swanson said.
