While totally invisible to the bulk of humanity, there's been a storm in a soup bowl of late as the Great and Good of blog-tech have been focussed into a Wiki...
Tough words on the defeat of America's 'toughest anti-spam legislation', allegedly at the behest of Microsoft and Yahoo. -- Posted by Simon Phipps to Webmink :...
We've been doing the same thing with AdSense to fund http://www.codehaus.org for under a week and have consistently reported around $10-15 a day. -- dIon...
Nope, nothing to report on the issues front, maybe it has to do with the limited categories we picked for display. And I'm pretty sure we've had no need to...
Bill Gates' interview in USA Today is jaw-droppingly disingenuous: USA TODAY: There seems to be some worry at Microsoft about Linux ... How much of this is a...
Seems Hormel, makers of SPAM Luncheon Meat, are suing a company that decided to use their SPAM brand in the name of a spam filter product, for weakening their...
I think that it is unlikely that Hormel will win. First, the name was brought into common parlance to mean junk mail by others, and SPAM Arrest is simply...
Sadly I agree. 'Sadly', because I think this breach of Hormel's good-will and reasonableness will lead to the next company in a similar position being much...
... There is little that a company can do if popular culture adopts its trademark. Hormel would have had to injoin Monty Python from using their trademark in...
Actually, several years of scrupulous practice while at IBM Hursley mean I almost always qualify my use of 'Java' as 'Java Platform', 'Java Language' etc. I...
I have commented to a few people that Blogging is a Big Deal. Not, I hasten to add, because I think that anything more than a core of special people (special...
My apologies for the multiple copies; Blogger Pro seems to have broken and the only way to find out if it has recovered is to keep re-publishing which...
Forgotten to arrange summer camp for the kids? Need to find the least worst place for them this summer? What's good enough for America's international guests...
Wishing all my American friends, colleagues and even enemies a great 4th. Let us know when you are ready to have the Monarchy back, this rebellion has gone on...
I just finished reading 'A Churchless Faith' by Alan Jamieson [ UK | US | CA ] which I found extremely thought-provoking and encouraging. In particular, it...
At Supernova , people will be looking inside each other's heads the whole time. I'll be using Hydra , for example, feel free to join in if you're a Mac user &...
I just saw a stack of licorice allsorts fly past the window - must be supper time. Actually, I'm not hallucinating, it's the last flight of this weekend's...
Seems Blogger doesn't create the weekly archive file on Sundays at the moment. This means permalinks on new Blogger entries today are all broken. I had to...
How wonderful! Blogdex finally has a home of its own. The former owner of the domain name has donated [via Anil Dash ] blogdex.net to the site formerly known...
Seems even Microsoft's live-in lover (my former employer Unisys) doesn't think that their server software is going to be enough to sustain them in old age,...
Hmmm. Interesting what turns up in the mail on the same day - two similar sized populations coming to opposite conclusions about the same facts. Byron's...
It's interesting to see how someone with a limited background of a topic (never heard of wikis?) and who is only half-listening covers a speech. My 'industry...
I've not gone for heavy rock all that much in the past but Evanescence hit the mark perfectly for me. I have been listening to their double-platinum album...
