• Series 60 Python

    Posted on January 24, 2005

    In preparation for the mobile geekout tonight I finally got around to installing and mucking around with Python for the Series 60. I haven’t had time to really explore the boundaries yet, but what I have played with has been fantastic. Check out the Python for Series 60 wiki page... [Read More]

  • Feedster Upgrades

    Posted on January 22, 2005

    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

    Posted on January 21, 2005

    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]

  • Bringing Great Open Source Ideas to Market

    Posted on January 20, 2005

    I went to a presentation at Stanford VLAB titled “Bringing Great Open Source Ideas to Market” earlier this week. There were some interesting comments made, and I’ll get some of those down here. First I want to mention the overall message however: “2005 will be the breakout year for open... [Read More]

  • New Wordpress Install

    Posted on January 19, 2005

    I upgraded my Wordpress install today. I’ve been getting a ton of comment spam, and instead of hacking my aging install to deal with it I want to hack a new install. Wordpress has served me really well, and I love the features, so instead of being a punter and... [Read More]

  • Steve Case at the Computer History Museum

    Posted on January 13, 2005

    I went to see Steve Case give an interview at the Computer History Museum tonight. It was actually kinda boring, but some points were made. Here are some notes from me, heavily editorialized by me, only vaguely based on what they were talking about on stage. [Read More]

  • Flickr Uploads Working from the 6600

    Posted on January 12, 2005

    I was having trouble uploading to both Flickr and Buzznet, so I thought maybe something really funky had happened to my phone. But I emailed Flickr and Buzznet both anyway, and now Flickr has responded saying they fixed a bug in their code. Behold, it works!! That was really odd,... [Read More]

  • iShouldn't Even Bother

    Posted on January 12, 2005

    As Elle has already mentioned, we were less than impressed with the ease of use and fluid experience that is the crippled MP3 player called the iPod Shuffle. Everything about this device seems to scream out “access denied”. They should have a little loop of Job trying to escape the... [Read More]

  • VJ / AV Battles

    Posted on January 12, 2005

    There’s an interesting event up in San Francisco Thursday night. Dimension7 is hosting a VJ Battle. The event starts at 9:30, and they’re going to be using SMS based voting to determine the winner. I wasn’t able to go to the last event they did, this one I’m definitely not... [Read More]

  • RSS Subscription Synchronicity

    Posted on January 11, 2005

    Apparently Dave Winer has been thinking about the same problem I was in terms of RSS subscriptions. I’m in favor of something a little simpler than what he described, but I can certainly see value in what he’s talking about. I emailed Dave to see if we could start trying... [Read More]
