Go up a few levels and you'll see what this is about, mainly an old personal page for John A. Vink from the Cyberdog development team.

how sweet...barf. apple is so weird sometimes.

[Doctor Q]

John A. Vink is apparently the author of PhotoPage (http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=3447&db=VT), a freeware utility to create web pages for your photos, no matter how funny-looking they are!

[Hemingray]

Jeez, you guys are totally ruthless. :D

I feel like I've just invaded the guys' privacy.

Of course... since these are the CyberDog developers with a copyright date of 1996, who knows if these two are even still going out! :eek:

Look at them... they must still be together, i dunno anybody else who would have them...

What the heck is this?

[cr2sh]

heh,
it sounds like what we have to pay $99 a year to use...

[SilvorX]

[bcar0934]

HOLY CRAP!!!! You guys are funny!

I laughed so hard at 1:45 in the morning that I woke my wife up! I was crying I laughed so histerically.

Did you look at his quicktime VR? What is that computer to the right of his desk. Kinda a cool office for 1996, at least makes me wonder what they have these days in their offices? Multiple 23" cinema displays, etc.

Also the OS8 flag in his window is kinda funny. Ok not really, but kind reminicient of a different time for mac users.

What the heck is this? No, it's nothing like .Mac. It was a browser that was part of a project called OpenDoc. OpenDoc developers would write "parts" that could be combined into a single application using drag and drop. It was unbelievably progressive. There is nothing like it now. While some have argued that VisualBasic is somewhat similar (in that modules can be combined into a single app by developers), the truth is that they are nothing alike.

For example, you could drag and drop together a word processing app that can also e-mail and edit photos. While this might sounds useless to some, the idea was revolutionary--allowing users to decide what features to include in the software they use.

I'm not sure why it failed, but there was a lot of talk at the time about copyrght issues. Imagine M$ tolerating someone actually adding useful features to Word--or taking them away. I think the idea was maybe a bit too far from the way everyone else used computers to be acceptable.

And this guy's a freak.

That's an awesome idea. Maybe we should ask what he's working on at apple now? And maybe if we can get some more close up pics of his face?

It's a well known fact that even Jobs himself didn't use a Mac when he returned to Apple. Can't believe this guy had a mullet. Too funny.

His girlfriend looks hotter now too. Little less "junk in the trunk" as far as I can see. He must still be at apple since his beach buddy has an OS X t-shirt on. His webpage also says it was recently modified. I wonder what he's working on now.... Someone email him saying we're starting his fan club....

[macsurfer]

Man those two are really ugly!

Exactly right. In Apple's words, OpenDoc provided "a new user paradigm: the user focused on creating a document or performing a task, rather than on using a particular application."

The idea was that a document could be created out of objects (called "parts"), where editors or viewers specific to each type of object would handle your interaction with that part of the document.

In the application-centric view, for example, you can only put a video in your word processing document if your word processor happens to have support for display or editing of videos. You can only put a video in an e-mail if your e-mail application happens to have support for display or editing of videos.

In contrast, if you had an OpenDoc "part editor" for videos, you could put a video (and edit it in place) in any OpenDoc application. Your word processor, your e-mail program, or any other OpenDoc application would automatically support videos.

Apple got IBM on its bandwagon and the two companies developed it together, but OpenDoc never caught on.

[redAPPLE]

i sent the guy an email.

if he answers, i plan to tell him about the thread... any objections?

i guess he won't like the parts, where some guys make fun of him...

well, he made the pictures in the first place, right?

Some links for the John A. Vink fan club:

Here, at his friend Duane's homepage, is John talking about California (http://home.istar.ca/~sqm/NEWSTD.HTM).

Here, he is the 13th entry in Kelvin Chin's guestbook (http://books.dreambook.com/kchin/kelvinchin.html).

And, for the timid, don't click on the brain surgery link here. (http://www.javworld.com/)

Wow the brain surgery pictures are scary.... Now I feel bad for making fun of those previous pictures.... :(

[redAPPLE]

DAMN!!:D

i never thought, this thread would be interesting. hey john. hope everything is cool, dude.

still waiting for the writeback :)

[Doctor Q]

Mr. Vink's PhotoPage (http://waves.apple.com/people/jav/PhotoPage.html) utility seems pretty nice. I wonder how it compares (or whether it had anything to do with) the export-to-HTML facility of iPhoto.

[backspinner]

When I woke up I was excited to find out that my aneurysm was clipped with titanium clips, and I had titanium plates in my head to keep my skull together. Titanium if what PowerBook G4s are made of.
I'm glad that he can make fun about it...
