• Coroutines (Navel Gazing Warning)

    This mention of lightweight cooperative multithreading and coroutines caught my eye for some reason. Maybe cause it’s been a while since I wrote anything in C and I got a patch this morning for one of my open source palm programs. Which of course got me thinking about programs that... [Read More]
  • Early Discussion

    The early conversation around the Ning launch has been great. Checking out the ning tag at del.icio.us (429 people bookmarked the site as of this writing) or Technorati search for ning or Feedster search for ning turns up a whole bunch of posts. Here are some of the ones that... [Read More]
  • Unbagging The Cat

    I had a spam comment to this post that I just had to approve so that everyone could see it. I have no idea what to make of it. It’s either funny, or sad, or scary…. Maybe all three. Is the person really tired of their job and just fooling... [Read More]
  • Audio Commentary

    Russ pasted a link t o a description of watching The Simpsons with audio descriptions on. I really really wish those videos were retrievable right now. Apparently the person who uploaded them ran out of bandwidth. If someone can get a hold of them and create some torrents that would... [Read More]
