Every couple has its ups and downs, but most people try to keep their dirty laundry to themselves. But what about those times when you just can’t come to an agreement with your significant other?
Today sees the launch of SideTaker a site that asks couples to upload both sides of their arguments and let the crowd settle their debates. SideTaker members can vote on which side they agree with, or leave comments to ask for further details or voice their opinions.
The site is hilarious. Dis Sep. 5, 2008 07:45 PM | Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart Are No fans of Sarah Palin!
Heart Wants to Be Ripped Out of Republicans’ Campaign
The duo requested that their song would no longer be used to promote Sarah Palin’s image. But it looks like Heart actually did Palin a favor, as she seems to only choose the song for [...] Sep. 5, 2008 07:17 PM |
This week's StackOverflow Podcast is up: episode 20.
We talked about the deadlock that was fixed, which was the last thing holding up the public beta... caused by a very small bug in third party libraries, which is exactly why I've always had a bias against using third party libraries. I tell an interesting story about why the Excel team had their own compiler. And I explain to a listener why Jeff never listens to me.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Business of Software conference and ma Sep. 5, 2008 06:47 PM | I just stumbled on the Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld commercial (at "Shoe Circus" of all places!) and it's a real Sep. 5, 2008 04:51 PM | There have been lots of talk about cloud services but the oldest and one of the best is probably Amazon S3 which provides large amounts of free storage. With one catch - it really only provides an API to interact with its bucket structure. This has led to many tools such as Jungle Disk, Bucket Explorer etc which are OK but restrict you to your PC and have their own foibles.Now, I have been using Amazon S3 with two accounts. One I registered myself with Amazon S3 which giv Sep. 5, 2008 02:49 PM | If you want to understand more about John McCain esp his views of war, I highly recommend this FreshAir interview with David Kirkpatrick of the NY Times, who has been researching McCain's life, esp starting around minute 23, where he talks about lessons McCain learned from Vietnam. It does a lot to explain how he views the war in Iraq, and how he's likely to proceed if he wins the election. Sep. 5, 2008 02:34 PM | Are you a flex developer? Send me your resume. We need Freelancers and Full Timers. Preferably in the ChicagoLand area, but will consider remote developers for the right candidates. We have needs on several projects, so if you are a flex dev Sep. 5, 2008 12:24 PM | I’m listening to Leon Dubosch via a translator. (German is my best not-English, but it’s not good enough.) Leonard thought about projects that could be done in Linz.
Thomas Gegenhuber now speaks. Art reuses what has been created before. (He quotes Lessig.) What can a municipality do? Linz’s homepage is published under CC. Artists who publish their works under a free license gets more money from the government than those who don’t use free licenses. CC here is the defaul Sep. 5, 2008 07:18 AM | The Really, Really Odd Couple - Gates and Seinfeld - debuted last night and you can find the video online everywhere. In this post are my thoughts on the advertisement. Sep. 5, 2008 06:40 AM | I spent the afternoon playing around with Google Gears in order to get a basic feel for how it works. Specifically, I wanted to see how much work it would take to add support for offline viewing for tostring.org (an online book site).
I used the Gears LocalServer API which “allows a web application to cache and serve its HTTP resources locally, without a network connection”. The implementation can be though of as a small web server that intercepts requests for remote resources and se Sep. 5, 2008 03:41 AM | Among the challenging decisions new parents must make is the name of their child. It’s a lifetime commitment, and not something to be taken lightly.
We very quickly settled on his middle name, Joseph. It’s my dad and brothers’ middle name, and Stacy’s grandfather’s first name and brother’s middle name. So, a family name on both sides. Done.
The first name was trickier. Early on I proposed David, my middle name. I’ve always liked the name David (and when Sep. 4, 2008 08:28 PM | Per a recent press release, TIBCO has completed its acquisition of Insightful, known for its S+ statistics language (and with a common ancestry with the open source R langage) as used, amongst others, in the financial industry. S+ and R have had a few mentions in recent CEP blogs:
Marc Adler commented on the initial TIBCO Insightful announcement [*1], and the potential for S+ queries in CEP (which is probably true at some level)
Hans Gilde commented on improvements to R and responded to Mar Sep. 4, 2008 07:56 PM | It's easy to mistake what's interesting for what's important.

Sep. 4, 2008 11:40 AM | jrawio is an ImageI/O plugin for "camera raw" image formats. I've started writing it a few years ago for my Nikon D100, and later extended it for working with a larger number of formats. As far as I know, it... Sep. 4, 2008 11:27 AM | I have started a new series of interviews with users of technologies for storing and handling persistent objects, around the globe.6 additional user reports (12-17/08) have been published, from the following users: • Ajay Deshpande, Persistent • Horst Braeuner, City of Schwaebisch Hall • Tore Risch, Uppsala University • Michael Blaha, OMT Associates • Stefan Keller, HSR Rapperswil • Mohammed Zaki, Renssela Sep. 4, 2008 08:03 AM | I like it - it's simple and minimalistic, has a small memory footprint and is easy on the CPU. Flash player works fine on my Windows XP box. I'm sure, Mac and Linux version will be available soon too. The absence of the I like the fact that t Sep. 3, 2008 11:12 AM | “This is the best browser so far” is that I can say after being a Chrome user for one day.
First of all, I was glad to find out that I haven’t found Chrome breaking any web application yet, especially Ajax applications. I was a little concerned about this, given that the Chrome cartoons say “Javascript runs in its own thread”, which is different from the threading model today.
For example, Razor Profiler is a fairly Javascript-heavy web application that I wrote Sep. 3, 2008 09:02 AM | Few days thinking about the best way to copy values between the objects representation of SOAP message elements and JPA entities. I couldn't find a good answer, so I am sharing the question. Sep. 3, 2008 05:57 AM | I had a chance to look at Forrester analyst Randy Heffner’s report on the best way to build SOA (via Joe McKendrick’s Forrester's Five-Step Path to Building SOA). Joe provided a link to the complete report, How to Build Your SOA Platform on ebizQ. Randy writes in the summary, “Building an effective service-oriented architecture (SOA) platform requires cohesive integration of both new product categories, such as SOA repositories and enterprise service buses (ESBs), and existing produ Sep. 3, 2008 01:28 AM | A big thank you to all the people who read my Blog for now over a half a million visits ... Sep. 3, 2008 01:00 AM | Google Chrome, a new open-source browser from Google that builds in parts on Apple's WebKit and in parts on Mozilla Firefox, was announced yesterday and just launched today at 3:02 pm EDT. Here is an interesting twist: most of the technical details about Chrome cannot be found in blog postings or technical web documentation, but rather in the form of a comic book. Talk about weird! But the comic is actually full of very interesting details - definitely worth reading, especially if you are a we Sep. 2, 2008 03:27 PM | In September I’m heading to Germany to present to the German PowerBuilder user group. I’m also working on arrangements to go back over to Europe in November for other locations as well, including (hopefully), England and Switzerland.

So mashups can help make better spies, better doctors and better scientists. But other than the occasional flu shot, I don't expect most of us have much exposure to these professions.Today's Mashup In Action story is about trading, a profession you have better odds of encountering in yo Aug. 28, 2008 02:56 PM |
As of this week you can download an early release draft document containing 11 design documents we've been working on for the past year or so as the result of the OSGi enterprise initiative.
This is important because according to OSGi Alliance rules, only members are allowed access to working drafts of documents. This is the first time we've released any of these drafts publicly. As a board member and EEG co-chair, I'm very pleased to see this happen because (a) I often get asked about what's Aug. 26, 2008 06:20 PM |
