• Open Source SIP Stack

    I was just digging through some old news I marked down but never read, and just noticed the release of an open-source, reference SIP stack that engineers can tap when developing VoIP and other SIP-enabled equipment designs. The effort seems to be progressing through an organization called SIPfoundry. Here’s an... [Read More]
  • EFF Endangered Gizmos List

    The EFF has created a list of technologies that are being threatened or outlawed in the interest of protecting established corporate interests: [Read More]
  • Tags are the New Black

    I’ve been paying attention to the discussions about tagging (or folksonomies depending on who you talk to). Some of the concepts are very appealing. I’ve been using del.icio.us and Flickr and Buzznet long enough to understand the usage patterns there. But the recent addition of tagging to Technorati has really... [Read More]
  • Earthquake RSS

  • Feedster Upgrades

    As is probably abundantly obvious from the front page at Feedster. We originally expected that the downtime would be Friday afternoon, but there were some snags (I would point you to Scott Johnson’s post, but apparently it’s on the servers that are currently down, d’oh!). So this is a planned... [Read More]
  • Link Management

    I ran into Tantek last night at Russ’s birthday party, and talking with him reminded me that I never updated my blog to include XFN info. Wordpress includes a nice simple XFN generator for the links section, so I decided to use that. I had originally populated the links with... [Read More]
