Cisco, Nortel Meet; Nothing Happens 06/21/2004 02:31 AM
The business trade press is buzzing about the fact that the CEOs of Nortel and Cisco met with each other. The banking types immediately started drooling over the potential of a huge merger deal that would kick off lots of banking fees -- but Cisco's John Chambers killed off that plan by joking that he doesn't know how to do big merger, preferring to pick up smaller companies instead. The fact that these two companies would talk about partnering isn't all that surprising. In the same way that Microsoft and SAP held talks that amounted to nothing, lots of large companies hold rather information explorations into partnership and/or merger opportunities. They only really get interesting when a real deal is made. Otherwise, it's just talk.

Nortel, Possibly Cisco, Join WiMax Forum

Nortel, Possibly Cisco, Join WiMax Forum 09/07/2004 04:17 PM
Unnamed sources are saying that Cisco recently applied to join the WiMax Forum: An official Nortel press release announces that Nortel has joined the forum. Cisco might be an unwelcome addition to the forum from the perspective of existing vendors because the company tends to dominate markets. While the company has significant wireless roots in the Wi-Fi business, it hasn't historically sold radio gear to the community of operators that builds large metropolitan networks. So it would be interesting to see how Cisco's presence might alter the WiMax market. But I'll reserve further comment until Cisco's WiMax Forum membership is confirmed or denied....

How to mania

How to mania 06/17/2005 07:18 PM

Last week when I was guest-posting a bit on Lifehacker, I found the motivation to write a bunch of how-tos I've been meaning to do for my own site. Basically it boiled down to spending a couple hours each night writing, editing, and putting photos and links together for each one. It was a bit of a grind, but helped me pass the time between late night feedings when I was on baby duty. So here they are:

Reducing intake of sugary drinks - I really love Honest Tea, and it's helped me get down to drinking cola once a week or so.

Sharing dual-platform desktops with a single keyboard/mouse - I've written about Synergy, VNC, and my dual platform setup before, but with the recent release of a Synergy GUI app, it's now easier than ever to share multiple systems as one giant desktop.

Learning to love Audiobooks - I find that I love audiobooks more than printed books for a lot of titles, and I seem to have more time for audiobooks than reading. I ran down all the things that make a good audiobook experience and a few of my favorites. There are many more I forgot to mention (like Bill Bryson's great stuff), including bad audiobooks (Jared Diamond - great speaker, great writer, but the publisher pays a drone to read his text).

Using firewire networking - Upgrading to tiger seems to have improved firewire networking in my setup. I now get very fast transfer rates between my mac and PC.

How iPod mounts work - I've come to the conclusion that my $65 iPod holder is an expensive, but necessary accessory, for the sake of safety.

How to setup a drip system in your garden - I can't tell you how much I love not having to water the plants by hand and how easy this stuff is to set up. This little system eliminates the one thing about gardening I disliked most -- being a slave to the watering can.

Uptime server monitor review - I've been happily using uptime for years. It just plain works.

RSS Mania?

RSS Mania? 02/10/2004 02:49 AM
A few days ago, in a message on the rss-user list, I made a comment about the attitudes of some folks at work when it comes to RSS: We've got some folks at Yahoo who are excited about the potential of RSS. And... Rather than having to explain what it is and why we should be doing something with it, they're asking the engineers "how soon can we have this ready?" That helps make it a fun place to work....

2-Mpixel era

"Japan's three major mobile phone carriers KDDI, Vodafone and NTT DoCoMo have all flagged new models boasting about 2 megapixels.This article states that 'the designs offer more than merely a few more pixels, though. Models of KDDI and Vodafone also come with auto-focus (AF) mechanisms, for example. Some camera-equipped mobile phones are featuring the equivalent electronic flash found in digital still cameras'. With the capacity of two megapixels and flash, 'photography with mobile phones will make major inroads into digital camera territory'.

Did I really say I wanted a phone with a 1-megapixel camera? Scratch that. I guess if I just wait a year, they'll hit U.S. shores with 3+ megapixels!

When Jim gave me my first Moleskine notebook, I didn't realize that I would become part of the Moleskine mania. Since then, I see these notebooks everywhere. I have recently been added to the fan blog, moleskinerie. Antoin has some interesting thoughts on the narrative and branding by Mondo e Mondo, the Italian firm making these things.
