Live-action "Scotland Yard" on the
streets and subways of Toronto 08/02/2004 03:02 AM
Joel is attempting to port a board game called Scotland Yard (something like Clue) into a live-action game played on the streets and transit system of Toronto.

To stand out from the crowd, Mr. X must wear his yellow "X" shirt. Detectives must wear the red "D". To win the game the detectives must physically touch Mr. X (optionally cuff, rough-up, interrogate and incarcerate).

Mr. X is randomly placed at a stop and must phone into HQ to tell his dispatcher what 3 methods of transportation he will be using on his next three moves (subway, streetcar, bus). 3 moves consists of a turn, Mr. X must reveal his location every second turn as he enters that location. His dispatcher must tell the detective's dispatchers, who in turn tell the detectives. The detectives locations known by Mr. X at all times.

Link (Thanks, Joel!)

At one point or another I thought I may have a use for these domain names. I knew then that I probably wouldn't ever use them. Thus in an effort to try to pay some bills, I offer them to you for their registration price, thirty-five dollars US ($35.00) each. Let me know if you are interested in one or more of them. I can accept payment through PayPal. Here is a list of the domains I would like to sell:

• documentstructure.com

More on Taligent
By Don Box

Since posting my "taligent effect" entry on Saturday, I ran across this excellent online version of Mike Potel's Taligent book.

Here's my favorite quote:

After furious internal debates in the late 1980s, a new project, code-named "Pink," emerged. It was called Pink because, at a meeting in 1988, key Apple engineers and managers settled on a direction for the company by jotting down ideas on index cards and pinning the cards to the wall in two groups: blue cards, representing technologies that could be supported as extensions to the current system software for Macintosh" computers, and pink cards, representing technologies for a future dream system. The technologies listed on the blue cards eventually formed the core of System 7, Apple's current system software. The pink cards listed precursors of Taligent's object-oriented system software.

As we start to enter the end game of Indigo, perhaps we should start referring to features as "pink" features and "blue" features. The CLR team has a euphemism for pink features - they're called "post-Orcas."

Also interesting was my chance conversation with Chris Lovett, dev lead and architect of the XML editor in Whidbey. He happened to mention that he was at Taligent, and had numerous insights into why the project ended the way it did.

[gotdotnet]

All I know is that Pink (and Jaguar) swallowed up some fine talent - including Eric Neumann - one of MacroMind's founders. Many of those folks went to work at Kalieda Labs.

I alre ady told you about what Dave Kaiser did there - but did I ever tell yah about how I was the celebrity poster child for Kalieda?

They paid us to port our "UnDo Me" interactive music video (by the MediaBand) to SctiptX from Director.
