Much to my surprise, Its a month since I last posted anything to this blog. Blame moving house and all the associated life-trauma. Anyway, normal service has now been resumed. # <\/p>\n
I’m currently having another try at using a news aggregator. This time its NewsGator<\/a>, which runs as an add-in to Outlook. So far I really like it. Even better, its only $29! # <\/p>\n Don Box on XML, late night phone calls, and sleep<\/a>. This is cool – like an extract from Microserfs<\/a>. I haven’t done an all-night coding session for about ten years, and I think my eyeballs would probably drop out of my skull if I tried it now. Don, you’re my hero. # <\/p>\n Paul Thurrott has a fascinating series of articles<\/a> on the development of Windows from NT 3.51 to Windows Server 2003. Well worth a read. # <\/p>\n Wired News has an article<\/a> about a guy who claims to have developed software that can visually digitize a vinyl record. You scan the record using a flatbed scanner, and the program reconstructs the music from patterns of light and dark in the image. I’m skeptical about this: even if the record is clean and the scan resolution is good enough, I just can’t believe that the music quality is going to be any good. Since I don’t have a scanner or any records, my opinion is unlikely to change. Nice idea though. # <\/p>\n Look. The reason I haven’t installed Three Degrees<\/a> is because I haven’t got Windows XP. Okay. Its not because I’m too old to understand it, and its definitely not<\/em> because my attention span isn’t short enough. Got that? Anyway, review here<\/a> continues here<\/a>. Check here<\/a> for how this abomination came into existence. # <\/p>\n Interesting paper<\/a> (PDF) from AT&T Research on counting hosts behind a NAT box. # <\/p>\n And this one was probably on slashdot<\/a> too: Millennium Prize problems<\/a> in mathematics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Much to my surprise, Its a month since I last posted anything to this blog.
