New Job

This is where I'm going to work.

Two Reasons

I post this. First, because this is a huge pet peeve of mine. (Thanks Waterfall). I think the advertisers and marketers are responsible and it makes me hate them, cause I'm not really sure why they persist in getting this wrong. Second, I always want to know where the waterfall is.

Another Article

Network Magazine | Building The Intelligent Wireless LAN | November 5, 2003 So, I'm building a LAN and want to add wireless. Once again, I capture a link that I want to eventually read.

It is done

Like I never thought it would finally be done, but it is. After 11 years, a new job. It is a relief. I can hardly say anything intelligible about it. If you've been at one job, your most adult professional job for 11 years and then changed jobs you will understand. Probably everyone who has changed jobs will.

My favorite part was that I just recently ran across a most excellent assortment of resignation letters. Nixon's is my model, but I truly appreciate the Sarcastic version.

Step Up to Wireless Networking

Step Up to Wireless Networking. Just an article I was looking for about setting up a small business wireless network.

I, Robot. I, like this.

Scott Rosenberg's commentary not only sums up the NYT editorial about why the book was so good, but nails the relationship to user interfaces. Excellent and to the point.

Groove Networks

Now this is something that just may be useful, but it all seems a little to creepy. Once I read more, I'll (maybe) post more. Generally, it looks somewhat interesting. I wonder how it integrates with blogs . . .

Electronic Election 2004

This is funny in a sort of Dilbert way: Electronic Election 2004. Funny, but a little too close to reality.

Free Textbook

This is a list of Current Papers and Brief Summaries, which includes a complete textbook written by a professor for use in his class. I remember the overpriced crap I had to buy when I was in college. This may not be better than the others, but it is certainly cheaper.

I bet Cisco sues him for copyright infringement . . .

Google Conquers E-Mail

Honestly, I think this hits it on the head. Gmail is really quite remarkable.

java.blogs

I just wanted to be sure that I kept this link somewhere handy. This blog is really becoming my personal knowledge store. And then there is this guy.

XP and RUP

I just found this paper that merges RUP and XP. Folks at my company generally believe that it has to be one or the other. Maybe not.

A Good overview of Content Management Systems

I always find this topic to be large and unwieldy, especially when talking to people that really have no background in it. This article provides a pretty good overview and, potentially, some context within which one may be able to have a useful discussion with those less immersed than others.

The New York Times > Technology > Circuits > For Some, the Blogging Never Stops

This is interesting. I think I know a few people like this and even one that shares a name, "They blog openly or sometimes, like Mr. Wiggins, quietly so as not to call attention to their habit." I think there is a distinct lack of readership of blogs. For me, I've mostly started to use mine as a place to store interesting links that I may need to come back to later on. The default taxonomy that blogs use is simply a calendar which you can then contextualize with comments and ramblings such as this. Instead of a forum for others to read, it becomes my public cognitive artifact.

I can (and do) use other taxonomies to store links and interesting peices of information, but none seem quite so portable as this.

Kerry Gets Google-Bombed

Wired News: Kerry Gets Google-Bombed
Superb. And Bush does too. And neither one has a single clue about what it means, what the effect is, or anything. Both sides have the position: "if they do it, that is wrong. If our folks do it, that is just the nature of democracy and the internet."

I think it is the latter. Next election, they will have really figured out what to do with this. Of course, everything will have changed by then.

I think the government should be run by blogs.
