• Amazing Info About Text Messaging

    Posted on December 2, 2003

    There’s a release by TXT4info about the use of text messaging as a marketing tool. Apparently it great that the firm did the research, because no one was really sure if customers liked being charged a lot of money. And they were a bit sketchy on if the customers liked... [Read More]

  • Palm Web Services

    Posted on November 29, 2003

    I recently went to listen to the VP of Product Marketing from PalmSource, Charlie Tritschler, speak at a SDForum Web Services Special Interest Group. The presentation itself was very informative. It sounded like Palm was really taking a great approach to Web Services. Charlie spoke about how PalmSource had a... [Read More]

  • What Will 2004 Bring for Linux

    Posted on November 29, 2003

    Gadgetopia has an entry linking to an article at eweek about what the year 2004 will bring for Linux. The article is very positive, which of course makes me happy. Every year since 2000 I’ve heard from one sector or another that Linux is going to just “blow up” during... [Read More]

  • Corporate Decentralization

    Posted on November 28, 2003

    The trend all over seems to be decentralization of the corporation. This is certainly true of software development here in the US, where more and more of the work is farmed out to lower cost workers in India, China, Russia, or just about anywhere else. But offshoring is just one... [Read More]

  • Programming Education, Open Source Style

    Posted on November 27, 2003

    OSNews has a review of the book “Code Reading: An Open Source Perspective”. It looks like it could be pretty interesting. There’s a lot of great code out there now, produced by thousands and thousands of open source projects. I don’t think it can be stressed enough that the benefit... [Read More]

  • Commodity Wireless Connectivity is Good

    Posted on November 27, 2003

    There’s a great article at The Feature that lays out why converged devices are winning in the market, and why this might point to a need for cellular providers to give up trying to pull value from the wrong areas of their network. I’ve agree very strongly with this opinion:... [Read More]

  • WordPress Post From Vagablog

    Posted on November 27, 2003

    It’s official now, I’ve tested out the 1.4 release of Vagablog to post to a WordPress blog and it works perfect. Even the title and category work (although the category must be specified numerically). I’m considering adding in support for the b2 version of getCategories before I make it through... [Read More]

  • Phonecam Art Show

    Posted on November 27, 2003

    There’s an entry over at picturephoning.com about SENT, billed as “americas first phonecam art show”. It certainly seems like it could be an interesting project. The site for the project says that all of the images used in the exhibit will be available online, very cool. Phonecams have really worked... [Read More]

  • New WordPress Install

    Posted on November 26, 2003

    I’ve decided to host my blog myself. I’m still going to test out Vagablog with services like Blogger.com and Journalspace, but there’s too much that I want to explore that isn’t a part of those services yet. For instance I can actually use Trackback URLs now. They’re something I’ve wanted... [Read More]
