Status of TiVO Strangeberry = Series 3

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

I was saddened to read Matt Haughey’s report on the TiVO conference call. No mention of the Strangeberry Home LAN software - which I asssume is in the Series 3 TiVO. I’ll wait.
I bought two versions of the series one products, and have held off on buying a series two. […]

Roland Chanelling Craig Burton

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

Doc channels Craig Burton all the time. I think I’m gonna be doing a lot of that - in the future.
I just hate fucking patents. But it’s not the patents that are evil, it’s the people who are lazy. Resting on your laurels, milking product strategies and technology implementations until their bone […]

Oliver Steele on “The IDE Game”

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

I’m not sure if I like Oliver Steele so much ’cause he’s so dam smart, is a nice guy, or becuase he’s the principle architect and programmer behind Laszlo.
His theme of “The IDE Game” is appropos - since IBM just announced that Eclipse will be an IDE for Laszlo.
Here’s Oliver’s tome…..

The developer world is divided […]

My friend David Temkin - co-founder and CTO of Laszlo Systems got interviewed by News.com last week.
Here’s the interview:

To listen to David Temkin, you’d think the future was here already.

Oooops - what happened to the people? And the entreprenuers? Is the same fate destined for other ‘technology corridors?’ Is this the best way for municipalities and government to help foster growth?

Bobaks

There’s a place called Bobak’s in Chicago - right near Midway airport. It’s a real Chicago kind of place.
Homemade sausage - every kind of pig part you can imagine. Very Polish scene.

By meta-data I meant ‘information about something which is attached to that something’.
My usage of meta-data is NOT rdf. rdf is ONE technique for meta-data - one that expands it with the notion of triples. Namespaces are another.
There’s nothing wrong with namespaces - […]
