• SF Weblogger Meetup

    Posted on January 22, 2004

    I went to the Weblogger Meetup in San Francisco last night, but only one other person showed up. I think that it just isn’t going to happen at all. During December lots of people showed cause the crew from Blogger.com were there. But besides the people that Jason Shellen invited,... [Read More]

  • Lively Discussion?

    Posted on January 21, 2004

    Last night I went to what I thought was a panel discussion at MIT/Stanford Venture Lab. The event description claimed that Whitfield Diffie was going to moderate a discussion covering topics like untapped areas of the security market and the implications of shift to a risk analysis based model for...

  • Social Entrepreneur

    Posted on January 19, 2004

    Joi Ito had a post yesterday that mentioned he thinks of himself as a “Social Entrepreneur”, and pointed to this definition at Stanford Business School. I found the commentary to be a pretty interesting overview of entrepreneurship in general. I’ve just discovered that I’m a huge Schumpeter fan, and now... [Read More]

  • Palm GPS Solutions

    Posted on January 19, 2004

    MyPalmLife reports today on a GPS solution from TomTom, and last week there was news about an option from Navman. Both of them seem to offer Bluetooth based GPS devices, which I would love to get my hands on to try out. Of course, I would be more interested in... [Read More]

  • Free RSS Webcast

    Posted on January 18, 2004

    There was an event close to where I lived about RSS, but I had to miss it. Looks like there’s a chance to make it up however, a webcast about RSS called RSS Winterfest. I signed up and I’ll probably drop in on some of the sessions. I wish they... [Read More]

  • MobKnowledge Knowledgebase Website

    Posted on January 18, 2004

    Russell Beattie has started a new website to serve as a “knowledge base for mobile phones”. He posted about it in his blog, describing why he chose the collaboration format that he did and what the goals are. I immediately signed up and added info for a bunch of the... [Read More]

  • Perl for Symbian

    Posted on January 18, 2004

    The Register is reporting that Nokia is planning a Perl port for series 60 phones. This would be really cool. Not only cause I think more development options are a good idea, but because the language is an open source option. I admit I’m not familiar with most of what... [Read More]

  • Software RAID and Linux

    Posted on January 18, 2004

    I’ve been setting up software RAID for the guys at Zamples, and I found the Boot Root RAID Lilo HOWTO to be quite informative. I had never seen that doc before, and it addressed exactly what I was trying to do. I wasn’t able to get the second drive booting... [Read More]

  • GNU-Linux Home Desktop

    Posted on January 17, 2004

    There’s a third part to the series of articles about building a distro that computer retailers could use to build PCs. I still don’t agree with running the project as a contest, as I’ve mentioned before, but I do think the idea in general is great. The project aims to... [Read More]
