Brrrrrrrr. Collllllld. Brrrrrr.  Hey check this out. Interoperating Web Services. And no BigCo's. See, developers can work together. Hah. Glenn Fleishman's notes from the 802.11b conference. Press release: "Meet Steve Muench, Product Manager, Lead XML Evangelist And Oracle Guru." I discovered a new flame redardant. It goes like this. "Another person who's smarter than I. What a relief to not have to be the smartest guy anymore. Dave" Hey there's some kind of virus running loose. I've gotten a dozen emails with big attachments this morning. The DoJ's favorite software company has something to do with this. When are they going to close the damned holes. Hey I'm in quite a mood this morning. On our internal workgroup I just called Radio 7.1 "a bitch with an attitude." I wasn't paying it a compliment. That's part of the We Make Shitty Software meme. One way to fix bugs is to see your software for what it truly is. The cool thing about software is that if you don't like the way it's treating you, it is possible to fix it. If only the same were true of people! Summary: We Make Bitchy Software. With attitude! One more thing. We Make Bitchy Software. And so do you! Hey Frontier is getting less bitchy. Check this out. Outliner buttons. These will prove quite useful in workgroup software. BTW, all the Frontier kernel improvements in 7.1 will also be in Radio. Reuters: "IBM and Vignette have packaged the key components to deliver a complete e-business infrastructure for rapid deployment of Vignette solutions at a lower cost of ownership." WSJ: "IronPort’s initial investors include Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith, the chief executive officer and chief technology officer, respectively, of the free e-mail service Hotmail Corp., which Microsoft Corp. bought in 1998." Bill Gurley, a venture capitalist, offers post-dotcom lessons for entrepreneurs, but it would be more interesting if he could tell us what VCs learned from the excesses of the dotcom gorging, which they led. The interesting thing about VCs is that they seem to think they are the fountain of all knowledge. Well, I suppose many of us suffer from that affliction too. "Seem to think" --> a sign of weak philosophy. Three years ago, AOL's market cap was $43 billion. Today, it's $165 billion. Yahoo was $21B, today it's $10B. Amazon was $11B, now it's $4B. Here's an interesting game to play while watching reports on TV about the war in Afghanistan. Count the number of times they say "on the ground." You might be amazed. |
