Is There Anybody Out... Here?

I’ve been increasingly flaky updating my humble corner of the web but I guess that’s for a good reason. The stuff I’m working on - apart from University - has picked up a lot of speed and we’re actively pushing the proverbial envelope. Hopefully, I’ll be able to talk about it at greater length soon.

Anyway, while we’re at it…

  • Ajax is one year old. Well, not really, considering the underlying technologies have all been around for a good while. But the term was coined exactly a year ago, so happy birthday to the stuff that enabled a true revolution on the web.
  • Apple has switched to Intel and all, but why should you wait for tomorrow when you can get yourself a used - but perfectly fine - 17" PPC Powerbook today? Sure, it’s got a cracked screen, but with 17 inches, who needs it all? (via BoingBoing, where else…)
  • The ultimate geek desk. I’m very picky about my work space and I don’t really know how something like this would do for me, but it’s still cool as hell. Check out the Aura one. Groovy…
  • I never tried doing any SDL programming, but being able to do it using Perl sounds alright. Might give it a shot sometime just for kicks.

There’s a few reflections of my own about the so-called Web 2.0 I want to post on this weblog, but that’ll have to be postponed until a) I get some more free time and b) I get my ideas together, something clearly lacking right now.
