Neurofunk. Try on the lifted music podcast from Spor and Chris Renegade on for a good dose.

I never got it to work. Multiple boxes, various problems. I was really sort of interested in building on it and liked the concept, but I ended up just tossing it in the end and syncing data via jungledisk and keeping a cloud drive with it.

Yeah, I'm completely lost at Dropbox's new price point when compared to Jungle Disk, which is just as, if not more flexible than Dropbox. Jungle Disk is a lot more user friendly than you're letting on to, I've used it both personally and in

Probably when SysAdmins did too, as I believe the ChromeOS program manager was quoted along those lines the other day. The wording was closer to pink slipping them completely, but I'm going off the top of my head here. I think the pilot pro

Has anyone used Kinect's video chat? Does it work with computers or is it like the PS3 where you have to have another PS3 to have video? I'm really surprised no one has tried to deploy some business apps for consoles, I'd imagine it'd take

Conflict free iPhones made by Chinese slave labor. There is absolutely no way to get past the fact that someone may have died to bring you that shiny gadget. As disconnected as people are with their food supply, they're even more disconnect

Not so much. There are some open source projects based around red5 like bigbluebutton, but for the most part, they don't work all that well. Adobe Connect, or Acrobat.com, or whatever it's been re-branded to, used to allow a meeting holder

I've found that it's great for a sort of RAD tool, but the functionality ends there because licensing and scalability are so expensive. The other problem is that it's so generally purposed that it reaches a point where integration with exis

This sounds super for Facebook users, but does this entice any Non-Facebook users? Are they doing anything to capture the people who don't see value in it?

Google does it now but integration is poor, and I suppose Facebook sort of took the user stories and simplified them but... I don't see how this is different than anything Yahoo did 4-5 years ago. From the standpoint of using their IM app,

The only thing with gmail is that it's a pain to deal with between Voice/IM/GTalk, it's far from unified and you can't use it like normal GMail users if you're GAFYD. Google talk supports the whole email sort of exchange, but only after a c

Lion Server? Has there even been talk of it? Dead now? I'd imagine the only use case for server that couldn't be done easily in a better way was spotlight server, and it's only a matter of doing it more cheaply than available CMS solutions.

My body and mind have taken a beating I don't think I can do much longer from ten years of useless night work swinging shifts sometimes three times a week, that guy is too happy. That's a great list of personal reasons, but business can com

I missed some context there. I thought "yes, I need medicine after night work". Why did I completely miss the mark? Swing shifts all week.

Folks have mentioned Eclipse as an IDE, but there's also Eclipse as a platform. I have three Eclipse RCP apps I use for visualization daily. I also manage a lot of equipment that requires java webstart to load a configuration GUI to accompl

Large scale engineering dept guy here, the problem there is that most companies like that won't accept a SaaS solution. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely brilliant. I think it's the first time I've ever given a thumbs up to a third level

It's easy to say you're doing it wrong, it's much harder to say how you'd do it right. The ideas are there, they need some integration. Google News? I abuse the heck out of it, just as feeds to feed Reader however. The problem I still see w

I was laying in bed and for whatever reason it just smacked me in the face. Yes, there's a reason, and I was reminded of an anecdote regarding blackberries being served in the lobby to the press. iChat is a presence and messaging framework

According to the presentation, it's supposed to be made a standard. I'm assuming this would hit the IETF's Audio/Video transport working group, so that'd be where to keep a lookout.

by mikedanko 16y ago
Are you sure? That seems to be nothing but delivery of transport streams over HTTP and suggests nothing of negotiating calls ala SIP.

Thomas Limoncelli's book "Time Management for System Administrators" covered how to deal with all your "customers" years ago. There's some google videos of presentations regarding the book material, and its very relavant to this subject. Th

Good luck. This data is worth more than the actual revenue and income for most of these companies. It's how they negotiate for carriage in different avenues and grow at all. I've often seen it as the cause of make or break deals between var

While awesome for a lot of tasks, I've still found that a file system and OS tweaked for a particular task can have remarkable results. On a system with a few hundred thousand RRD files, I've found that ZFS with a 16k block size reduced my

Oh Jesus, can't we all stop gawking at Facebook bullshit? No one can figure out what Facebook is, but if you haven't succumbed to it, you're intimidated by it. It's worth billions of dollars and for what? The pure evil of having everyone's

We're totally not normal. That, I'll agree with. Usage data, smoochage data. The point of bringing up ICQ was that at one time, for what seemed like a long time, it was king. People seem to have given up and consider Facebook the winner of

I'm a Fedora contributor and closet Ubuntu user. While I can get extremely upset at how difficult things can be in Fedora, like python and ruby, I generally try and take care of these things myself anyway. And who's not using RVM so why doe

But I don't use Facebook. I work in a department of seven, and they all are extremely reluctant to even check their Facebook accounts. Google? We use it all day. Google is like Linux, you can't even count how much you use it until you actua

And WOW, this just hit me after posting. Your question to HN is by far and large more blog worthy than most of the things on your blog.

I always tend to think that in the blogging world there are those that are journalists and those that are diary writers. The diary writers only ever succeed if they're writing about things you'd read in Penthouse Forum circa 1978. Try not t
