SFSW.net - developing a new functionality
Starfish Software was named after an earlier enterprise shared with a genius entertainer who is still marketing wildly and creates better stuff on the internet that I ever will - spending tens of thousands no doubt or more on top of the line designers. That is his thing - that the eye is pleased by what it sees.Starfish Software has an entirely different agenda. It is the bits of workability that I aim to provide, and inventing new thingees is part of it. Hence, I spent five minutes putting a bunch of googley widgets on the site, only to notice Windows XP, Mac-OS and even browers getting in on the widget act.
It is a nice wee paradigm - the little browser universe run application in its own window but melding into the browser, safely and without doing any harm to your computer as it is "in the browser".
Yeah, right. How is an application delivered over the internet any different to one that lives inside a "browser environment" supposed to protect you? You go out and buy games, these are sometimes entire universes of fictional "reality" where you are expected to go around shooting "people".
There is another appplication that is entirely different, and yet nearly the same as that, Second Life - a virtual world where anything is possible.
Anything? Well anything that is socially accepted by our shared annonymous not so secret work of human expression.
Is it useful? As a paradigm reality that we can engage with people that we would not normally engage with we can risk communication at a whole new level without physical threat.
Developing software for environments like SL is yet another new frontier for software writers to engage with. Is there a demand for it? Not here. One would not want to find SL populated by plenty of programmers offering God like services. But one suspects one will.
The next phase of sfsw.net shall be in providing more than the best international hosting space we can find and the best damn domain support service at a fixed price - but your choice of Content Management branded with your look, and software that suits your requirement from corporate to individual.
All on-line. All easy.
