Skype taking a bite out of real company
phone bills 06/17/2005 03:50 PM

Seeing that I have started a company this year and we are trying to make sure this ones stays in th black from the start, everyone is using Skype as much as possible. Chantal has a Skype Account with Voice mail I have a Skype In Number along with Voice Mail and I spend a lot of hours on Skype not giving a red cent to the phone company.

Am I happy well for a guy that lived in Guam for 7 years and endured $3.50 a minute phone calls back to the United States, you can imagine I am quite happy when I can stick it to the phone company and bypass them. That goes for the cellular folks also. Seems some other companies are on the Skype bandwagon and pretty happy about it themselves. [Business Week]

"Painters of Blight" show at Roq la Rue

"Painters of Blight" show at Roq la Rue
in Seattle 06/30/2004 01:12 PM
Seattle's Roq la Rue Gallery (2316 Second Avenue) is running a two-day exhibit on Friday, July 9, and Saturday, July 10, featuring the work of two dozen artists paying tribute to Thomas Kinkade and Jack T. Chick. (click on thumbnails for enlargements. Painting on left is by Jim Blanchard; painting on right is by Johnny Ryan).

As you probably know, Thomas Kinkade, the famous "Painter of Light," has made millions of dollars with his customized prints of day-glo cottages against backdrops of enchanted forests. He has a team of "Kinkade-trained Master Highlighters" who go over reproductions of his work with oil paint. For this show, artists Jim Blanchard, Kamala Dolphin-Kingsley, Robert Hardgrave, Claire Johnson, Charles Krafft, Pat Moriarity, Erin Norlin, Marion Peck, Benton Peugh, Robert Rini, Bonni Reid, Mark Ryden and Kipling West have highlighted pages from the Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light with Scripture: 2004 Deluxe Wall Calendar, in their own distinct styles.

And Jack T. Chick is the famous artist-publisher of a series of incendiary 3" x 5", 24-page religious comic book tracts. Loaded with scare tactics and jabs at "enemies" of Christianity, Chick's comics vividly depict the horrors of Hell for anyone who neglects to convert to Christianity. Since 1961 Chick has created 175 proselytizing tracts, which have had more than 500,000,000 copies published in over 100 languages worldwide. Artists Tom Bagley, David R. Drake, Jed Dunkerly, Nathan Eyring, Rod Filbrandt, Cliff Hare, David Lasky, Deborah F Lawrence, Eric Reynolds, Johnny Ryan and Kamilla White have each created work inspired by Chick. In contrast to the Kinkade artists, they worked with no specific assignment, and came up with equally diverse outcomes: David R. Drake reduced an entire tract to its minimum visual information, creating 23 individual tiles still closely correlated with the original, Eric Reynolds has painted an original portrait of the reclusive Jack T. Chick, and David Lasky will display the original art for an entire tract written by Jim Woodring intended to be traded for unwanted religious pamphlets.

Wolves Bite Each Other in the Ass

Wolves Bite Each Other in the Ass 04/17/2005 10:47 AM

Linus of Linux fame knifes Tridgell of Samba fame and Peren s the wolfherder tells Linus to stop talking nonsense and cool it.

A summary of what happened:

Tridgell saw a problem, hypocritical use of non-open source version control software BitKeeper to develop Linux, and moved to fix it by reverse engineering BitKeeper's proprietary protocol.

This upset McVoy, the keeper of BitKeeper and Linus's childhood friend.  Sharp exchanges between McVoy and Tridgell caused enough uproar for Linus to pull back on BitKeeper and then punch back at Tridgell for causing trouble where there was none from Linus' point of view.

Meanwhile, Perens who thinks inconsistency is a crime and everyone should sacrifice themselves for the wolfpack kicks Linus' ass.

I could use some buttered popcorn.
