very nice Eclipse RCP-based Flickr uploading app

“But from a thought-leadership point of view, it’s time to realize that the age of the news release is as dead as the ice age in the era of global warming.” – and that’s coming from a PR firm
-
“I asked him how he went about acquiring new knowledge, to which he responded ‘I learn by writing’.” – same here, big time
-
“Also, the Adobe Breeze facility works like a charm. I highly recommend it, if you are thinking of doing your own webinars.” – as someone who sits on a *lot* of webinars, Breeze (now Connect Professional) is still the best service – even on Linux
-
need to remember to go to this
-
it’s like the BileBlog hits Agile, but actually useful and constructive
-
man, i don’t know what i’d do if this happened to me – good luck to the Tabblo folks
-
“I’m not sure exactly how it’ll pan out. Rails is basically a big code generator, a big compiler, in a sense. The “language” is Rails itself” – i’ve heard this a couple of times now, and subscribe to it to a certain extent – read the rest of this either w

“If only it performed better. *Sigh*. Well, its performance is in the same class as Perl/Python/JavaScript/Lua/Bash/etc., so there are still plenty of tasks Ruby’s admirably suited for” – precisely
-
“Ruby performance today is surprisingly acceptable for a wide range of uses.” – in case you didn’t believe Yegge

Duimovich agrees with my general conclusion, but not with some of the particulars; i agree with just about everything in here, but not the assertion that performance is not optional (more on that later)

lots of excellent tools in here; i’ve got a lot of them, others i used to have, some i’ll be experimenting with
-
Zimbra comes to Ubuntu, at least in a preview release – good news indeed, although i wonder how good the dependency handling is (Zimbra’s got a lot of them)
-
see some of the comments from Linus on the subject of GPLv3
-
interesting – i may explore this for us
-
some thoughts on where GNOME is going – the language aspect, in particular, is important IMO
-
wherein Patrick rebuts the “PHP is doomed” article; Patrick and I had a chance to chat on this subject briefly recently, and i’m definitely aligned with his thinking here – is threading a problem? you bet, but it’s a solvable problem
-
Raible’s not thrilled with Vista; i was going to demo Vista via vmware-player on Ubuntu, but wow, did that not work – the vmware-player package is broken, big time
-
i’ve got an Aquos, and it’s strong to quite strong – good luck to the Hack Day participants
-
i love trains, so this is great to see; i may waylay people at Union Station, however, to steal their passes
