Apologies for all the multiple posts - seems Blogger is back to its old trickof sending out an e-mail every time I do an edit, I'll try to avoid it by using...
What sort of political advertising would America get if it was scripted, performed and produced by Everyman? MoveOn.org has been running a competition to find...

I've finally made it to New York for LinuxWorld this week and am back online in a hotel with real connectivity. The last week all there has been is dial-up (I...
Today is a national holiday in the United States - Martin Luther King Day - so it's a quiet day for rest and reflection. With thw wind whistling past my...
Actually, posting about Martin Luther King Day makes me wonder how many US bloggers will comment on it. It seems to be something of a half-hearted holiday over...
Seems today is an Orkut sort of day (thanks, Liz !) as I've had several invitations (although like AKMA my network is miniscule compared with others). We'll...
I know one person at least is looking for my appearance on NPR today, so to confirm, I was part of Clark Boyd's 'The World' item on Linux broadcast on PRI...

Simon, Would you please explain to me how Java qualifies as open source? http://www.newsforge.com/software/04/02/05/1920200.shtml ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anne...
I was at EclipseCon and I enjoyed Simon's talk very much in contrast to Tiemann's talk which I found insulting. As a developer I find more open-source code...
Misquote, Anne, by a very unsympathetic writer as you can perhaps tell (me? a /suit/? Missed the whole point of the talk). What I said was there's no barrier...
