Several weeks of backlog from my feed reader:
shakespeare on entrepreneurship: ‘Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we might oft win, by fearing to attempt!’ So true. Via.
I’m always on the lookout for examples that Hollywood is shooting itself in the foot, but I’m not sure this is one of them, since [...]
First off, I Am Not A Lawyer And This Is Not Legal Advice. If you go to Microsoft (or to anyone) and say ‘but this law student on a blog told me so’ then you will be laughed out of the room, or sued, or both, and you’ll deserve it. :)
Mike Shaver blogged early [...]
My friend seth is doing something very cool and playing with CC’s new autocurate tools, in pairing with GNOME, to see if he can autoupdate the background.
His critical questions that I’m passing on to p.g.o (he’s only on planet fedora):
is it possible to have the gnome-background-changer run a program to determine the image it [...]
We could communicate
by Bill Stilwell. License:
bad news (in my mind): lots of focus on ‘email’ rather than ‘communication’ in the recent discussion of the renaming/rebirth of Mozilla MailCo as Mozilla Messaging, and even some comments that could be read as negative on the idea of integrating various communications technologies into a competent whole.
great news: [...]
Two document-centric sites came across my radar last week; some quick thoughts on each:
docstoc.com: sharing-focused document site- you upload, they publish to the world so that anyone can read it. Founded by law school students, so, among other things, has lots and lots of law school outlines, which is a nice resource. Has some very [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
