• Cisco

    Posted on November 5, 2005

    After Defcon I mentioned the big blowup with Cisco. Just to follow up on that thread, they’ve now announced a patch for the vulnerability. Pretty much blowing away the theory that some folks had that this was an attack that didn’t really work in the wild. Three month response time... [Read More]

  • Tagcamp

    Posted on November 1, 2005

    I went to Tagcamp this past weekend, fantastic event. I met a ton of new people, which is always fun. A lot of great information and new projects. Although I missed her presentation, I found out about Rashmi’s cognitive analysis of tagging while I was there. I think the two... [Read More]

  • New ieee80211 and ipw2200 Linux Drivers

    Posted on October 28, 2005

    I’ve been wandering around a bit lately, so fixing the DHCP problem I had with the ipw2200 drivers under Linux on the Thinkpad was finally a priority. I was about to apply a patch I had a pointer to, when I saw that there are new versions out: [Read More]

  • Lesser Evil

    Posted on October 26, 2005

    One of the things I hear pretty often is “sometimes you just have to go with the lesser evil”. Now, granted, I probably tend to get myself into situations that would spark that remark more often than is normal. But I’m sure most of you have heard it somewhere along... [Read More]

  • Videocasts on TV

    Posted on October 22, 2005

    What Russ says is definitely true, taking a videocast and putting it up on The Big Screen in the living room is certainly much different than watching it on your desktop or on a device. I knew that though, and I’ve been a pretty big video fan for a long... [Read More]

  • Social Computing

    Posted on October 12, 2005

    I’m moderating a panel tomorrow on social software. It looks like the impetus for the discussion might have been a recent article in the MIT Technology Review about Social Computing. The panel participants and I have been emailing this week talking about what the discussion points for the panel should... [Read More]

  • Web 2.0: Conversation with Five Teenagers

    Posted on October 10, 2005

    Jeff Clavier posted a pointer to a liveblogged session with five teenagers at Web 2.0. Definitely worth a read if you’re thinking about consumer internet services.

  • Clearing Inventory

    Posted on October 9, 2005

    Apple is apparently updating hardware without telling folks so that they can clear inventory. Interesting. Wonder what happens when the Intel based systems come out? They just going to get quitly slipped in too?

  • Coroutines (Navel Gazing Warning)

    Posted on October 8, 2005

    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

    Posted on October 4, 2005

    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]
