I was recently invited to keynote a prestigious conference in a European city. I agreed to speak but only on the condition that they cover my expenses. I didn't ask to be paid for my time, but after they said no, I realize I should have.
Here's why.
During the Democratic primary, as the choice narrowed to Obama and Clinton, it was pretty common for people to say that no matter what we'd have a strong nominee and President. There was a lot of confidence that either candidate would win the electio
I've got the rest of the month reserved for travel, to see the election up front and close up, with camera, laptop, audio, video and EVDO. I'm trying to figure out if I should go, and where.
I want to be in a state that both campaigns see as critical
Guardian: "At least three times, Sarah Palin, the adorable, preposterous vice-presidential candidate, winked at the audience. Had a male candidate with a similar reputation for attractive vapidity made such a brazen attempt to flirt his way into the
The hypocrisy of the Republicans is so caustic and damaging in so many ways I hardly know where to begin. But the thing that gets me most is this idea that they put "Country First." What a crock. When they attack people who support their opponents, t

Approximately 60% of Arabic-speaking Internet users dislike using an Arabic keyboard, according to Yamli, a Massachusetts-based startup that launched last year. CEO Habib Haddad explains that many users have to use a Latin keyboard for their jobs or school, which makes the keyboards impractical (and many think they’re just hard to type with). When it comes time to type in Arabic, many Internet users have adopted a phonetic web language that spells out Arabic words with these Latin lette
Stephen Fry recently published an article on cloud computing. Like many others he got it completely wrong and was describing nothing more than what the Internet is. Cloud computing is not the second coming.

I knew, going into 2008, it was going to be a liminal year for me. And, boy howdy, has it proven true! This year, I:
had a book I co-wrote published
got married (twice!)
hired a CEO to steer the company I started
oversaw the largest event Adaptive Path ever delivered
had a child
and, as of yesterday
bought a house (in North Oakland)
Still to come this year is, I hope, the sale of my current house, market willing. (Know anyone who’d like a pleasant, cozy, 2BR home in South Berkeley? Let me
I was recently invited to keynote a prestigious conference in a European city. I agreed to speak but only on the condition that they cover my expenses. I didn't ask to be paid for my time, but after they said no, I realize I should have.
Here's why. I didn't have a product to pitch or have a company that could benefit from the PR. If I were in their shoes (and I have been) I would insist on covering expenses, otherwise the talks would just be advertisements. It seems analogous to asking a vendor
VMware, one of our partners, has the VMNT blog which provides virtualization news from VMware and the community of virtualization users, including the VMware Communities and VMTN, the VMware Technology Network. This blog also lists 17 other VMware blogs, each with a specific focus. There is the Console blog that is VMware's Executive Blog. It has contributions from a number of VMware executives. The Develop Center Blog supports their developer community. There is the WMware PhD blog that p
I've said a lot of times that I don't like scripting languages, and in fact all of my work is currently done in Java. I see it as perfectly fitting my needs, from JME to JEE, through the Desktop. But...
This week's Stack Overflow Podcast features special guest star and programming blogger superhero Steve Yegge. It's a terrific conversation about working at Google, marketing your ideas, and programming languages... one of the most interesting podcasts yet.
In the spirit of Steve's extremely long blog posts, we ran about 15 minutes long this week.
In the past, Jeff and I have had some audio problems using Skype to record the podcast--mainly, dropouts when we talk over each other.
I have switched over to using TextMate for some of my experimentations with ActionScript. I like how lightweight it is, its extensibility, command completion functionality, and ease of setting up new projects. I find it is perfect for quickly testing new code and ideas.
I have put together a couple of bash scripts, which coupled with the ActionScript 3 and Flex TextMate bundles have made working in TextMate a little easier for me.
The first script is called autocompile, which takes a class file
The JavaScript language currently does not provide a good way to distinguish between objects and arrays. The typeof operator is broken: It identifies arrays as objects. Comparing a value's constructor property doesn't work because arrays created in a different frame will have a different constructor. There are do-it-yourself tests for arrayness, but they are complicated and unreliable. Mark Miller of The Google, by closely reading the ECMAScript standard, has discovered
From the press some of the initial iPhone apps have been getting, it seems that there are going to be quite a few Apple iPhone App Store millionaires this year ! So why not write your own and join the crowd ? Don't know Objective C or XCode - then get learning !

I am delighted to report that we have relaunched our Altova Online Training program today. We've used this hiatus of a few months to completely redesign our training program and incorporate all the feedback that we had received in the past. One of the key requests heard over and over again was that you wanted to be able to consume the training on your schedule and time, rather than having to sign up for a particular class and deal with available seats, time-zone issues, and fitting a 2-3h class

I've been to many interesting places, but nothing compares to my twenty-four hour visit to the USS John C. Stennis, an aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy. I hope that you enjoy these pictures and videos. I would be overjoyed if you spotted someone you know in one of them.
Incidentally, this is probably the longest posting in the history of blogging. It contains over 130 photos (I lost count) and five videos. You might question the wisdom of posting this many pictures. After all, I could create
One of the more obvious up-and-coming IT “best practices” is the area of “decision management” – as evangelised by James Taylor at Smart Enough Systems – which postulates that separating and managing decisions is as important as managing business processes. In a “conventional event processing” or synchronous SOA world, this means separate “decision services” invoked to make important decisions during automated processes, or prior to BPMN
Fred Brooks’s law of ‘adding manpower to a late software project makes it later‘ is one most of us have tried to prove wrong…….and failed!
I was at Agile 2008 and saw an interesting session, “Breaking Brooks’s Law” from Menlo Innovations, a Michigan based Java development company. They claimed to disprove this law and demonstrated their working environment and techniques that allowed them to do so.
Although the presentation was only 45 minutes, we
I laughed when I heard Sarah Palin say in last week's debate: “...and I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I'm going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also” (this is straight from the CNN transcript). I laughed because it’s such overt “spin” to say you’re not going to answer what the moderator wants to hear. And, incidentally, it's exactly what the moderator wants to hear.But that’s beside the po

A couple of years ago my friend Kaushal Vyas blogged about his first marathon experience. His blog entry started with some quotes from Lance Armstrong on his first marathon:
“the hardest physical thing I have ever done. Even the worst days in the tours, nothing was as hard as that and nothing left me feeling the way I feel now in terms of sheer fatigue and soreness. I think I bit off more than I could chew, I thought the marathon would be easier…”.
