Guy's latest article is "The Art of Sucking Down" and Robert Scoble claims that it's the best article Guy has written.
Is there something wrong in this picture?
The article is about being nice to people. Guy has some interesting points about trying to make people smile during the day but it ...

The Google presentation by the lovely Zaheda Bhorat was interesting even if the minutiae of her presentation was queried by RMS. (Just which license is used for that?). She spent a lot of time on code.google.com
The presentation by Les Timms about the Open Source Academy and the work they've done ...

Bruce Parens was quite entertaining from his stories of subverting Pixar time to write patches for Debian to his lecture on the evils of software patents. Most applicable to a software company is certainly the patent issue - it takes, on average, $5 million to defend a software patent. Their ...

So, free software but no free wi-fi though the local Linux User Group has a WEP-protected access point up. But no big warchalk anywhere with the password.
Bummer.
So, I'm posting on a not-cheap GPRS connection because we don't have economical all-you-cat-eat WiFi or 3G/GPRS plans available. I'm going to update ...

I may see some of you at the FOSS Means Business event tomorrow in Belfast. I'm not staying for the RMS workship in the afternoon, I don't think. I'm interested in the other speakers though, but mostly I'm interested in the attendees.
It's certainly a candidate for an unconference. Frankly I ...

Heaps of info out there now. Looks like with today's update for Microsoft Office 2004 (11.2.3), Entourage will also work as a SyncBridge client.

Nice to see. Way to go, Microsoft!

Looking at MJ's post about Airwolf or Blue Thunder, I figure it's worth talking a bit about our first product. It's called SyncBridge, which I hope is an obvious representation of what it does: it provides a synchronisation bridge between users (in this case, iCal users).
