I believe that I am the developer that Scoble mentions in his post about Mitch and the Creative Commons: I know a developer working for you. Is he working for free? I don't think so. He has mouths to feed and a mortgage to pay off. I'm not quite sure how Robert got from the Creative Commons to working for free, but that's not actually the point...

Elizabeth Grigg has questions about calendaring stuff: One thing just from observing this Lightning / Mozilla spec page as well as the Chandler spec page: both projects are in an extraordinary low level of detail at the moment. There is virtually no high level thinking in the specs, which is perhaps fine for the task at hand. It doesn't help us...

This week I went down to San Francisco to take part in a regular Chandler Westwood Advisory Council meeting. I finally got to meet Oren Sreebny in person. It seems to be an odd pattern that I have to take a trip somewhere in order to meet people that live in Washington State. It happened again at the Creative Commons party on Thursday (it was...

I'm a heavy user of OS X's Command Tab application switcher (a holdover from my Windows using years). I also use the Hide Application functionality that Tim Bray wrote about yesterday, which has been around from pre OS X days. But I didn't learn that that you could hide application from the application switcher until I read this week's Apple -...

Peter Royal left a comment that ASF member Berin Loritsch is working on crisis management software in his day job. Berin is writing about his experiences on his blog. I had no idea that this was the case (and obviously neither did Sanjiva or the people he talked to), and for some reason Berin's posts aren't showing up in Planet Apache.

Sanjiva is posting again, from Sri Lanka. He's found a way to put his computing skills to good use. He's been talking to the CIO of FEMA, and people at IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco. The one thing that has become clear today is that we have a tremendous information management problem in our hands. What's incredible is that there doesn't appear to...

Tonight I went to the December SeaJUG meeting It was fun because our reading group here on the island decided to go all together, although we did kind of get split up due to differing transportation arrangements. There was a pretty big crowd because Doris Chen from Sun was coming to talk about Java 5. Every meeting before the speaker goes on,...
