According to BoingBoing the last 5 tickets to ShmooCon are being auctioned off on Ebay. I’m very interested in attending, but running low on funds. Someone please give me 1 round trip ticket to Washington D.C. and bid high on a ShmooCon ticket for me please.
I just noticed that Jeremy Zawodny linked to the TiVo Home Media Engine SDK. This is great news for me, I’ve been dying to place Caller ID information some place easily accessible without adding yet another machine/gizmo to the collection of electronics that is the home entertainment system. I cant wait to have […]
Yesterday Eric was ranting about MS Windows versus Linux issues. One of the points that he countered was:“Linux is not ready for mission-critical computing. There are fundamental things missing. For example, there is no single development environment for Linux as there is for Microsoft, neither is there a single sign-on system.” from Linux security […]
Confusion between a co-worker and I spawns Google Suckage. A comparison of some fairly reasonable attributes of two items and googles opinion of their suckage. Google suckage is defined as the comparision between phrase.sucks and phrase+sucks. Yes, this is strongly related to GoogleWar.com… but I feel that google suckage is much less […]
I agree that the BBS05 IRC channel isn’t as great as it could be… The lack of streaming audio sucks. My main hope was to participate in the backchannel during sessions and I’m not getting the experience I was hoping for. I really have to thank Rob Levin of freenode.net for […]
At the end of Chris Pirillo’s segment we learned why there is no audio stream. Steve Broback talked about attending MacWorld. He says that he attends, but never attends any of the sessions because you can get the audio on tape. I don’t think that many of the presenters are too worried […]
I’m at the blog business summit now and on irc.freenode.net in #bbs05. If you’re interested in having anything questions raised, join this channel and let me know. Aparently irc is blocked on the “supported” network, which is aptly called “linksys”. It looks like they are working on it though.

My main interests lie in exploring Blogs and Wikis within workgroups for passive knowledge transfer and Documents as blogs for colloborative document development.Over the past 3 years I have used Wikis to manage requirements for my […]
One thing I don’t like about .NET is how it promotes multi-threaded programming as a solution for everyone. I personally avoid writting anything with threads until I’m more than absolutely certain that I require threads because multi-threading is hard. I often find most programs purpose/intention will eventually become hidden behind the locking […]
I find Boo to be a neat language for the .NET CLI. It is based on python syntax but compiles and uses MSIL. I find it interesting because it allows you to easily extend the language with Syntactic Attributes. These enable you to move your VIM/editor auto completes into the code itself; […]
