So… if you’re given a wiki to take notes into to share with your classmates, and you’re typing notes, why would you not type notes into the wiki? Lots of typing and at least some visible notetaking last week, but nothing in the wiki. So… I’m back to being the class notetaker. Mumble. Yay for [...]
I got an email today from Evangelia Berdou, who came to a couple guadecs to meet, greet, and pick GNOME-y brains. Turns out she’s published the fruits of her GNOME research- her PhD thesis. I haven’t had time to read it yet, but I’m sure it is interesting- she had a habit of asking very [...]
Reference point: another student tech-law journal that is blogging, fairly successfully, it looks like. Maybe it is time to get all the tech-law journals that blog under one roof so we can swap notes… :)
Wrong answer.

The six month release cycle is not an all-controlling god, and bugs in one known, specific subsystem are not undebuggable without wide release (which was KDE’s most valid excuse). If it isn’t ready for wide use, it isn’t and shouldn’t be a GNOME .0. It isn’t ‘too late’ to decide [...]
Twice in the past few days I’ve been asked to sign up for Continuing Legal Education (CLE). Sadly, I have to ‘graduate’ first. Oops. Still… each was interesting:
The Friday CLE opportunity was at Columbia’s symposium on Fair Use. Mike Madison has a good summary of the symposium, as part of a broader post on Fair [...]

I’ve finally gotten fed up with my feed reader. Most of the time I don’t really care if my feeds are updated in a timely manner, but when I want it timely I want it timely. Like, on election day, I want my politics feeds to update more often [...]
Via Scalzi, Patrick Nielsen Hayden explains why he voted for Obama in the primary, capturing my critical thought perfectly:
I’m for Obama knowing perfectly well that, as Bill Clinton suggested, it’s a “roll of the dice”. A roll of the dice for Democrats, for progressives, for those of us who’ve fought so hard against the [...]

Today is a unique day in my lifetime; a primary day where almost 1/2 of states are voting, but where the outcome is still very much in doubt. If you’re in one of those states, whether or not you agree with me about Obama, find [...]

I’m doing a research project right now for a faculty member, and I’ve finally found the research software that I’ve wanted since my high school history teacher taught me to take great notes (good) on note cards (bad). The software is Zotero.
Zotero lets me take notes in a structured [...]
Matt Asay asks “Why should a customer care about IP assurance?” He and Savio Rodrigues both make what appears to be the same error: comparing IP to “environmental rules or workplace safety regulations”. There is a critical difference, of course: if the EPA or comes after Microsoft, and I use Microsoft products, I can’t be [...]
