The company I’ve worked for since July of last year – Nasuni Corporation (a startup in Massachusetts) has gone live! This is the culmination of a lot of hard, but exceedingly fun and exciting work over the past months.
The Nasuni team is an excellent one – and one I am very, very proud to [...]
So, I’m one of those people where I don’t like running things “too far” from what a production setup might look like (I code on OS/X, deploy to Linux). This is why I jump(ed) through various hoops on my OS X system to get Apache/Django/mod_wsgi/etc all up and running and happy (not for serving the [...]
Lately, I’ve been ruminating on requirements and requirements management (also known as disaster control). I was actually typing something up on this, but Steve Yegge hit the nail on the head – then he rammed it through the board and into the house next door:
Anyway, there you have it: the slightly expanded version of the [...]
Yup. I just keep generating fountains of useful things. I have 15 Jaiku invites, and 5 Evernote invites. I recommend both, although right now I use more of twitter until I can convince people to move over to Jaiku cause it’s more stable.
And evernote is awesome.
And, as before – leave me a comment or send [...]
Ivan Krstić just posted an entry named “Sic Transit Gloria Laptopi“.
Without commenting on the problems of the OLPC project, which – for some time – has seemed to be rapidly pushing itself into oblivion – I completely agree on Ivan’s points on open source and frankly, everything else he says.

Just a quick note – I’ve got 10 Evernote invites – if you don’t know what Evernote is, check out the Ars review here. Post in the comments if you’d like to test drive it. I’m going to need an email address.
So far, I’m loving it – but I’m also someone with about 500+ bookmarks [...]
(Via Ars) This is surprising given how much he’s dedicated to the OLPC project. If this is a sign of things to come, I guess it’s another marker for “bad management can bring down any project”.
I missed the post on Ivan’s own blog – I blame pycon-haze. I guess this may help “explain” why [...]

Ok. So Sun has come out stating they’re starting work based on the SDK released by Apple for the iPhone earlier this week to port the JDK over to the iPhone.
Quoting the sun rep:
“Now, the iPhone is open” as a target platform, Klein said. The free JVM would be made available via Apple’s AppStore [...]
Because you, like me, are interested in writing some iPhone apps (and apple is only allowing objective-C stuff right now :sad:) – here is a free eBook I kept in my pocket for when I wanted to finally dive in.
It’s call “BecomeAnXcoder” from CocoaLab

Microsoft just announced what has been rumored forever: a formal offer for Yahoo. Microsoft’s proposal to Yahoo’s board of directors represents $31 per share (a 62% premium over yesterday’s closing price) or about $44.6 Billion. Steve Ballmer, CEO and big fan of developers, says, “We have great respect for Yahoo!, and together we can [...]
