But anyway, I got ten times as many views on the GitHaskellRuby post yesterday as the two identi.calaconi.ca posts combined, thus restoring my lack of faith in human nature entirely. Turns out that posts cynically designed purely to trigger keywords and attract visitors doomed to disappointment are, in fact, more popular than reasoned, considered thoughts. So from now on, Im going to put my.http://blog.dave.cridland.net/?p=60 Jack Moffitt: Farming Is Like System Administration- July 5, 2008 My father-in-law grows corn and soybeans in rural Minnesota. Im currently spending a week on this farm visiting with my in-laws and trying not to work too hard (ha!). Yesterday I helped empty a grain bin into a semi trailer for sale at the local grain elevator. For me, this whole task was very like system administration. It was a lot of easy but repetitive labor, and every few minutes I came up with some idea to reduce the amount of work I would have to do. An Example The grain bin has a flat...http://metajack.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/farming-is-like-system-administration/ Google Talkabout: Chat on your iPhone- July 4, 2008 Attention iPhone owners!

Actually, we are not aware of any problem with major XMPP clients, but here is a more complete answer. We needed to provide facts to our users and customers asking about ejabberd compliance level with major clients. Here is what we did. We took the 12 most popular XMPP Jabber clients and looked at what messaging server they were using to run their instant messaging server. Here is the result: ClientIM DomainXMPP..http://www.process-one.net/en/blogs/article/ejabberd_client_compliance/ Dave Cridland: laconi.cas XMPP Interface- July 4, 2008 Some random features Im hoping to persuade someone else into writing (Yes, I might manage to sully myself with PHP to help out) - identi.ca is multi-user chat. So it looks, to you, like a chatroom. Apparently this is not a new idea. Joe Hildebrand (hildjj) has added some interesting ideas here, changing the as well as the depending on the last change. Of course, if the user is online via XMPP, it makes sense to expose that - with the users permission. - Settings really ought to be via...http://blog.dave.cridland.net/?p=59 Jack Moffitt: Microblogging With Group Chat- July 4, 2008 Like thousands of others, I am playing around on Identi.ca today. Microblogging is a hot topic especially as Twitters growth problems have provided fodder for the armchair scalability experts. Weve also been thinking about microblogging in the context of Speeqe. Im not sure where our experiments will lead, but you can see our initial endeavor as the Tweeqe theme over at the Speeqe demo site. Our original idea was very simple. We wondered what would happen if we moved the text entry box to the...http://metajack.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/microblogging-with-group-chat/ Dave Cridland: Its all about popular!- July 3, 2008 So, it seems that although identi.ca is well cool, and thoroughly of the moment, my HaskelGitRuby post was, at the end of the day, just a tiny bit more popular (at one stage, it was twice as popular). Id feel pround, except Kev and Remko really wrote it, in the jdevconference.jabber.org chatroom. My XYMPKI expos still remains my top post overall (it was probably responsible for several thousand hits), which is nice. Pointless, too, because Apple and Yahoo still havent fixed it. Indeed, I...http://blog.dave.cridland.net/?p=58 Adam Czachorowski: week++- July 3, 2008 Another GSoC week passed, heres a late, very short report on progress. Things done: further UI improvements, including status messages and basic tooltips, drag & drop support with move and copy contact actions more context menu items resources displayed on roster under contact (when expanded) Things to be done this week: Were moving a little bit lower to data layer and right now me and Remko are trying to agree on how this layer should look like. When were done with that, Ill implement...http://gislan.utumno.pl/?p=10 Process One: Upcoming research on UK businesses, instant messaging and security- July 3, 2008 Upcoming research from instant messaging experts, ProcessOne, reveals that 72% of UK businesses have banned the use of public instant messaging (IM) software, such as MSN, AIM and Yahoo!, because of security fears.

Dave Cridland: Things that Git is missing: Haskell and Ruby microblogging support- July 3, 2008 How us bloggers decide what to write about: 10:00:23 remko: dwd: i noticed that any post on reddit that has the words Haskell, Git or Ruby in them gets read a lot of times. So, I tried that theory out, and made a post with the word Haskell in it. And behold, i never got reditted, and then i did. 10:00:54 remko: imagine what would happen if i did a useless post with Git in it 10:00:59 remko: like Things that Git is missing 10:01:03 remko: or Things I like about Git 10:01:19 Kev: Things that Git..http://blog.dave.cridland.net/?p=57 |
