• Wiki Wednesdays

    Posted on September 3, 2005

    The Socialtext folks have kicked off an event called Wiki Wednesdays. I haven’t made it over to one yet, but the next one in my area is Sept 7th at Socialtext, which is right around the corner from my office. I’ll have to drop by, I didn’t really get a... [Read More]

  • WPA on Linux 2.6.13 Thinkpad

    Posted on September 3, 2005

    I installed 2.6.13 on my Thinkpad today (it’s magically changed from an R51 to an X32, you’re not gonna hear me complain). I figured I would follow up on my initial WPA Linux post and mention that the Wireless Extensions version 18 are included now, and the ipw2200 driver uses... [Read More]

  • Infrastructure

    Posted on September 2, 2005

    I need to echo some of the stuff that Russ says about New Orleans and Jon Udell as well about the wireless infrastructure. Some stuff, not all of it. I actually don’t much care about New Orleans. I was there before it flooded and got to see it. Great place,... [Read More]

  • Network Tools

    Posted on September 2, 2005

    Here’s some stuff I’ve been either working with or reading up on lately, cool stuff that I’ve heard about in passing but isn’t in general usage yet: [Read More]

  • Programming Styles

    Posted on September 1, 2005

    It’s kinda a slow news day overall. Maybe everyone is all wrapped up in this whole city underwater thing. Not my style. So instead I’m catching up a bit on the geekier side of the reading I have sitting untouched in my aggie. Posts from LTU are always good for... [Read More]

  • I'll Just Skip the Claws

    Posted on September 1, 2005

    Apparently mammals can regenerate too. And injecting fetal liver cells is enough to get an existing organism regenerating. No retrovirus needed or anything, how cool is that? Good news for all of us aspiring to superherohood (or supervillianhood). Now I just have to figure out how to graft adamantium and... [Read More]

  • More on Google Talk

    Posted on August 31, 2005

    Here’s a much more verbose version of what I was trying to drive at the other day. Having a closed off IM system makes as much sense as a closed off email system. At least I think that’s what it says. I didn’t read that whole thing, I just skimmed... [Read More]

  • Movies

    Posted on August 31, 2005

    Can I just take a quick break to mention how much ass it sucks that I have to do things like this to even consider trying to play DVDs under Linux. I was all psyched to get some movies that I’ve been waiting on, but I don’t have the time... [Read More]

  • Needy Artificial Intelligence

    Posted on August 30, 2005

    Interesting post over at Terra Nova about The Pathos of Nintendogs. I’ve spoken with Russ about the game before, and the overall appeal still escapes me. However, I really groove to this line: “From a games AI perspective, would it be easier - and would easier first steps encourage more... [Read More]

  • Webzine 2005

    Posted on August 30, 2005

    The Webzine tickets are on sale now. What is webzine? Here’s a schedule, check it out for yourself. I’ve heard about it mostly from Scott at Laughing Squid, which is more than enough of an endorsement for me to plunk down a measly $20 on a two day event. [Read More]
