For all of you readers out there who can’t get enough of Forever Geek (and who couldn’t? ;), I’m going to show you how to add the titles of the latest entries to your site using the Forever Geek XML feed.
Note: The following is for MovableType users only, since it describes how to use a [...]
If Apple had any sense they would actively expand their gaming market to introduce new users to their desktops. They would also illicit the help of Nvidia to start producing cards for the Apple platform. Nvidia says they would do it in a heartbeat. Hopefully Apple is listening.
I saw this while reading my copy of eWeek last night. It seems that Novell has hit a eureka (aka common sense) moment in that they found their customers would rather have to only deal with one desktop environment instead of two. The two competing desktops has always been used as a knock against Linux. [...]
For all of you on the bleeding edge, a new alpha build of Visual Studio Whidbey (now called Visual Studio 2005) will be released this week. It’s very cool that Microsoft is making it easier for developers to get their hands on these early builds of the next generation of developer tools. I [...]
A do-it-yourself linux powered automated bartender. How cool is that?
The iStory Creator lets you create text games for your ipod. In addition to creating your own, you can download games other people have made. It’s free. Worth a look.
Jeff, a developer on the IE team at Microsoft, has described what exactly is going to be different in the new version of IE that’s going to ship as part of Windows XP SP2. It doesn’t look like the rendering engine will be changed at all, but rather the changes will be more about [...]
Once upon a time there was this small design firm called 37signals that developed this neat little web-based project managment system referred to as Basecamp. The interesting thing about this system was not the fact that it was designed by 37signals, but that is was developed in Ruby. This is the framework that Basecamp was [...]
So this Microsoft guy started a new column and decided to talk about a new filesystem in a new OS that Microsoft is developing that is slated to be released in 3008. Interesting read about the future :P
One knock against Java in the geek community is its lack of generics. I have never found the need to use generics before, but maybe my programming is less hardcore than others. This article provides a nice introduction to generics in the 1.5 release of Java by Sun (OPEN SOURCE IT…sorry).
Not just another weblog, net.narrative environments is also a research platform exploring the dynamics of networked culture. Laura reflects on both netwar and open source, and on the tools used to produce and evolve the site itself.
For any Linux folks looking for a pretty sweet wallpaper (or anyone who loves Linux and penguins), I have found it.
Web services are going to rule the world! At least that is what most of us have been saying for the last two years and the only thing to really come out of it are Amazon’s Web Services (which kick major ass) and RSS (versions 1-34.7). Anyways, this is a good little article for all [...]
I don’t know anything about this stuff, so I’ll let this quote speak for it:
PHOENIX is a general-purpose state-of-the-art stellar and planetary atmosphere code. It can calculate atmospheres and spectra of stars all across the HR-diagram including main sequence stars, giants, white dwarfs, stars with winds, TTauri stars, Novae, Supernovae, brown dwarfs and extrasolar giant [...]
A new broadband service from Bway.net.
Their new service will allow you to roam the Internet and connect to P2P services without leaving an IP address trail. This is done by using dynamic IP addresses from a pool of rotating addresses without keeping logs on which IP address leases.
Anonymous usenet and browsing services get a new [...]
PHP finally enters the world of programming languages that understand the fact that some of us need a quality object model to work with. Unfortunately, this does not mean that the code that people produce will look any better.
