"Essentials of Windows for UNIX
developers" on-line course goes live!
02/14/2004 09:21 AMWhen discussing with CIOs and IT directors the idea of adding Windows
to the set of platforms for which they develop custom line-of-business
apps, one of the most common questions I hear is this: “I've got a
team of 50 (or 150, or...) UNIX developers who've been doing that for
ten years, or more. How can I get them up to speed on building apps
for Windows?“ A serious problem, since developers are not fungible
resources; even if you could replace a UNIX-skilled dev with an
equivalent Windows-skilled dev, that new person wouldn't have the
unique knowledge of the application and the business that is required
to effectively build the right apps in the right way.

Spammer Launches Clothing Line?
Spammer Launches Clothing Line?
04/19/2004 05:45 PMIn what seems like it should be a late April Fool's joke, well known
spammer Scott Richter seems to have changed his tune a bit on claiming
that his company is in the permission marketing, rather than spamming,
business. After getting accused by various companies and the Attorney
General of New York of being one of the biggest spammers out there,
Richter has decided to
launch his own brand of
"SpamKing" clothing. Try not to gag as you read about the clothes
(targeting "the hip-hop, grunge and skateboarding crowds") will
include such catchy phrases as "Just Opt Out!" and "Click it!" Not
surprisingly, he plans to spam people like crazy to promote the
clothing. In the meantime, the article notes (more seriously) that
Richter also plans to file lawsuits against anti-spam groups for
stopping his "legitimate" messages. Considering that previous
lawsuits like this haven't gone very far, it's likely that any lawsuit
he files will also be an annoying waste of time for anti-spam groups
(just like spam itself).

Snip from
Theater News item:
John Malkovich, the
renowned stage and screen actor, is also the designer of the Uncle
Kimono clothing line -- and he will showcase his autumn/winter
2005-2006 men's wear collection at a trunk sale to be held at The
Performing Garage (33 Wooster Street) in SoHo on Saturday, April 16,
from 10am to 5pm. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit The
Wooster Group.
(...) According to Malkovich, "Uncle Kimono is a men's wear collection
that resonates with the late 1950s Californian beach boys, some Palm
Springs Rat Pack, a touch of lounge lizard, and a recollection of a
Swiss banker who's been let go."
A few months ago I was out having sushi with some pals in West
Hollywood, and a very dapper Mr. Malkovich sat down at an adjacent
table with friends. He was dressed in an extremely funky-fresh outfit,
so this news comes as no surprise. He is one stylin' guy.
Link to news report, and
here
is John Malkovich's website. Site also includes some pretty cool
t-shirts, like the one shown above, but yow -- they're $70 a pop.

02/01/2005 10:05 PMIBM DeveloperWorks
recently posted an article titled, "Migrating
from x86 to PowerPC: Robots and networked applications". The article
compares the PowerPC (or "Power Architecture" as IBM prefers to call
it
these days) to traditional Intel x86 and ARM processors. Migrating
from
one of these architectures to another is actually not too difficult if
the software is based on Linux which runs well on all three platforms.
Ultra-cheap methods of getting started with PowerPCs are mentioned,
such
as cannibalizing a Nintendo GameCube
console or using a Kuro Box. The
author, Lewin A. R. W. Edwards, has
published a book with more
information on the topic, called A
