I like these…[here]
What have you asked your CRM or CRM vendor to do for you lately? Has it failed miserably?

Some software called “Netscape” has a critical flaw. Never heard of it…

The A380 got off the ground. [here and here and here]
If you have ever been underneath a 747 on landing, as I have been many times (San Mateo, CA is under the flight path of SFO), and wondered how the hell these things stay in the air…imagine seeing an A380 for the first time.

I’m with tipper…ZenWife keeps saying “820 people…trying to get out in a hurry…”.

Tim Bray agrees with me on this one….

But Tony Goodson still demonstrates unabated enthusiasm for the technology behind it…but he’s a brit! 😉

I built a whole new Web server to host my sites last night. The database is still on the old Web server, but new server has more RAM, larger drive, and is running Linux 2.6, not 2.4.
Let me know if you encounter any issues with this on any of the sites.

Juniper just went nuts and made two really key purchases: Peribit Networks and Redline Networks. [here]
Redline is one of those really cool companies that helps companies balance their load, terminate their SSL traffic and intelligently compress content, all in a single appliance. We have a couple of these at work and the Operations team has been very impressed with them.
We also use a lot of Netscreen technology, which Juniper owns.
Looks like we are becoming a Juniper shop…who woulda thunk that 5 years ago?

Satellite Radio on an iPod? SIGN ME UP!

Watch this if you are Canadian…or curious about how we do things up north.

I have 6.63GB of music on random in WinAMP right now. I love the mix!
A comment: Now that that the iPod Shuffle is has been sold to its new home, I am very glad to be rid of iTunes. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I re-installed WinAMP last night.
Wow. WinAMP has all the features I want. iTunes was non-intuitive and a processor/memory pig. iTunes doesn’t play OGG files, so I had to convert a lot of OGG files to MP3.
And if anyone wants to give me a present, and can’t afford a 15″ or 17″ Powerbook, this would be nice! Or this.

Ummm…Scoble, care to comment on this?
Via Eschaton.
I agree with Scoble that christianity is founded on solid priciples that we should use as one building block of our moral foundation; but most corporate Christian organizations have made intolerance and the feeling of moral superiority the foundations of their “faith”. [here and yes, the case in this sentence is important!]

The lazycoder brings joy to my heart with this. But in some respects, his comments are too narrow.

I have been working directly with right on the tip of the wave tech for over a decade. I have been at least in the front part of the wave with a number of other cool ideas.

In the last year, nothing has given me a tech thrill. Nothing has made me feel the intense love that Internet performance used to.

I am alone? Is the malaise rampant? Is there something out there that can drag all of us out of this deep, dark hole we have fallen into? Or has this cutting-edge, “new! New! NEW!” wave finally reached the beach?
