Gateway to consolidate Midwestern facilities: With this, Gateway is leaving Sioux Falls completely. This is too bad, as Gateway is a child of South Dakota.

Gateway will close its Sioux Falls, S.D., facility this month, as part of its plan to return to profitability.

Here's a statistic for you: in the last four years, Gateway has reduced their workforce by 91%, from 24,000 workers worldwide in 2000 to just 2,000 workers after this latest round of layoffs.

Bryght lights 09/01/2004 12:02 PM

Roland Tanglao reports......

If you haven't already, go check out our new venture, Bryght.

What is Bryght? Bryght is all of the following:

1. "The Salesforce.com of community content"
2. Content Management System + Community Blogging System + Email + DNS + Domain Name Registration + much more (see our features page for more details)
3. A hosted website service for communities, corporations, organizations and individuals built using the open source Drupal system.

What is the relationship between Bryght and StreamLine? None, other than the fact that I work on both :-) !

Seriously, StreamLine continues to resell Blogware blogs to individuals and Bryght is focused solely on hosted Drupal sites (with domains, email and DNS as well).

Why Blogware blogs? Because Blogware is still the best individual hosted blog service out there.
Why Bryght? Because Bryght is the best hosted website service for communities.

Too many Christmas lights?

Too many Christmas lights? 12/10/2003 07:56 PM
Is there such a thing as too many Christmas lights? I love seeing lavish displays of lights at Christmas time. Some folks like a few old-fashioned Christmas lights and some like to deck the halls in a blaze of glory (this one boasts 700,000 lights). And how much does it cost to run a fabulous display?

Where Was FERC When the Lights Went Out?

SF Chronicle: Death Star' trader admits manipulating California market. The Enron Corp. energy trader who devised the notorious "Death Star'' scheme to bill California for fictitious electricity pleaded guilty in a San Francisco court to a federal fraud charge and admitted plotting to manipulate the market during the state's energy crisis.

Who else should be indicted? An e-mail correspondent this morning points to one of the worst offenders in this scandal: the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, where inaction in the face of utter sleaze is a way of life. Instead of helping California and the other states that got screwed by the bandits at Enron and other energy companies, FERC has consistently stiffed the victims, offering a tidbit here and there but essentially doing nothing serious. FERC keeps insisting that it's on the case. We'll need some actual evidence one of these days.

Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP

Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP 04/19/2005 08:47 AM

Myriad hacks are emerging for the PSP as eager tweakers have their way with the black box. Add to the list the ability to control your home automation system (and TiVo) wirelessly. Liquidice explains:

I now have the ability to turn my lights on and off. [I] have full control (Play, Stop, Pause, Menu) of my DVD player, TIVO, and High Def TV, all wirelessly from my PSP. ... I put an image map on [some] graphics and created some HTML pages which are hosted on my WACI NX server. The links are crafted so that when the PSP highlights and clicks on a spot on the image map, it instructs the WACI NX server to send an IR signal to my A/V equipment or triggers it's relays to cut power on the lights.

While he doesn't have step-by-step instructions, he explains his methodologies pretty clearly, and mentions that an official Sony web browser for the PSP will make things much simpler.

(#gizmodo frequenter AMIB points out (with some sass, it's noted) that the PSP isn't so spectacular in this feat because all the heavy lifting is handled by the home automation web server. A valid point, by way of saying any device or code that can make a GET request to a web server can accomplish the same thing.)

The end of the light bulb? E. Fred Schubert, a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute "claims to have invented a 99-percent efficient reflector that promises to speed the replacement of light bulbs with LEDs." According to researchers, this could happen within the next five years. The current prototype is bankrolled by the ARPA and The National Science Foundation "recently award Schubert's team a $210,000 grant to create in three years a commercial version of his patented omnidirectional reflector."

"Schubert claimed that lighting accounts for 25 percent of U.S. electrical energy consumption. Since white LEDs emit more light per dollar and generate less unwanted heat, they are potentially a major energy saver." (see EE Times link)

Meanwhile, some of the oldtimers seem to be pretty refractory.

Red traffic lights in Naples 06/05/2004 03:58 AM

I heard from one of our hosts last night that when driving in Naples, "there are three kinds of red lights. Some you must stop at or you will die. Some provide advice to be careful. Others are merely decoration." Seriously though, I have never seen so many drivers completely ignore traffic lights in my life.

Boingo's SBC Home Roaming Lights Up

Boingo's SBC Home Roaming Lights Up 06/24/2005 10:01 PM
Boingo customers can now roam onto 3,400 SBC FreedomLink locations that SBC has directly contracted: To avoid confusion, SBC should probably better label its different offerings. SBC operates 3,400 FreedomLink locations at The UPS Store, Barnes & Noble, Caribou Coffee, and other locations. This is its home network. It also resells access to Wayport and a few other networks as part of its roaming network. And it buys access to McDonald's restaurants via Wayport, but includes that access in its standard network. So SBC FreedomLink subscribers who sign up for the basic deal gets SBC-run locations and McDonald's. Add in roaming, and they get the roaming partners, which includes airports, hotels, and other locations. Boingo Wireless announced it would resell SBC-run locations, and those locations are now live in their network. Whew....
