Geek Dinner with Tim Bray in Silicon
Valley on Wednesday
01/09/2004 09:46 PMTim Bray is coming to Silicon Valley next week. I suggested we have a
little Geek Dinner and he's up for it. The plan is to meet at The
House of Orient in Campbell at 7pm for Chinese food. The address is
851 West Hamilton Ave. Yahoo Maps provides this map for those more
visually oriented. I'd like a rough idea of who's coming, so please
leave a comment, trackback, or e-mail me if you're planning on coming.

01/09/2004 10:11 PMJeremy Zawodny pinged me and said “You coming to the Valley?
Let’s do a geek dinner.” Sounded like a good idea to me, so
he went
ahead and organized it. That would be the evening of the 14th.
You gotta admire a guy who’ll not only organize dinner but hang his
address & phone number out on his blog.

01/16/2004 10:59 AM Thanks much to the 20 or so geeks who came out to The House of Orient
last night for the Geek Dinner. I snapped a few pics that didn't come
out terribly well. Oh, and you'll see a few folks have already pinged
the original post with TrackBacks to their write-ups too. As others
have noted, most folks seemed to know fewer than 4 or 5 other people
there, so there were a lot of interesting discussions. Several

04/22/2004 09:22 PMI’m going to have a free evening next Monday, the 26th, in San
Diego. It occurs to me that a geekazoid gathering in those parts might
be a fine idea, and the person I’m visiting said he’d even
organize it if there was any interest. So if this sounds like a good
idea, drop me a line; remember,

Geek dinner Thursday night at Lulu's
12/26/2004 06:51 PMI read that Robert
Scoble had announced a geek dinner at Cheesecake Factory for Thursday
night. Hored memories of bland over priced food rushes into my
mind, so I called Robert and said "Dude - come on, we can do better
than that! This is San Francisco!"
So first we tried Betelnut, but settled on
Lulus.
This is where Joi had a dinner a while back and we (Broadband Mechanics) had a X-mas
party there back in '99 - right before.....
So please join us Thursday night.
Last time there - it was a serious schmooze fest.

12/27/2004 08:10 PMAnd so it came to pass that the Thursday night (Dec. 30th) dinner
be held at Chaat Cafe - in
the shadows of Mascone - only a block away from Lulus. A virtual
upheavel erupted after my absurd suggestion to have a party at
Lulus.
But "no" - they complained, "it's too expensive, too
hoidy toidy!" they claimed.
"But it was OK for Joi, Sifry, Kim and Howard and all these
other coolio A-Listers, so why isn't it good enough for us?" I
asked?
Oh well - whatever.
So $5 wraps it is.
Thursday night - 6 PM. Be there or be square.

03/08/2004 11:22 PMKasia, everyone's favorite Unix Girl, is going to be in the Bay Area
for a few days. So this seems like a fitting occasion for another Geek
Dinner. Friday (the 12th) seems like the best day to try getting folks
together, but we need to pick a place to do it. As when Tim Bray
visited, I'm going to organize this little outing. But this time I
need some recommendations. I'm looking for a place that: Is in the

maximally-simple bullet-point form so anyone can understand it: Fast
pipe. Always on. Get out of the way. You can't get much clearer than
that....
We're right and you're wrong. Tim Bray

06/05/2005 11:21 PMI was going to try blogging Tim Bray's keynote at the SDForum Web
Services Conference, but it's easier to summarize with the title of
this post. Amid all the discussion of WS-* standards, Tim takes the
other point of view, saying that Amazon, eBay, Google, Yahoo, and
others are doing it the right way. "The stuff that works on the
Internet today will work on the Intranet tomorrow" is his argument. I
couldn't agree more. In related news, I got...

The Boston Globe, Hiawatha Bray asserts that the
Power Mac G5 is "ugly" but sports "spectacular performance." While he
is unimpressed with the anodized aluminum case that he compares to "an
aluminum ingot," he says the 2.0GHz dual processor top-end system will
leave you wondering "what to do with all the horsepower." His comments
come in a recent column that's been

Replay Radio geek solutions to geek

Replay Radio geek solutions to geek
problems
09/21/2004 06:38 AMThe building I work in does not receive Radio receptions real good.
The guys and I in the office like to listen to a particular radio show
and we knocked our heads together for a while trying to figure out how
to improve the reception. Fixing the reception problem proved to be
impossible but we did find a geeks way to fix the problem.
I purchased Replay Radio and set it up at home to record the
network stream of the program. It saves the recorded stream in MP3
format every 30 minutes and dumps it in a directory that I have mapped
to a FTP server. I have a standard FTP client running on my desktop
that downloads the MP3 to my laptop which is connected to the network
and we load the MP3 up and listen to the program time delay.
My work does not allow for streaming audio. So to avoid confusion I
asked permission to do this via our IT department and promised to keep
the file sizes under control. They thought it was cool and gave the
thumbs up. It worked out so well that several departments do the same
thing and we have 2-3 national talk radio programs to listen to each
day. Albeit time delay but it works. [Replay Radio]
" Replay Radio is an incredibly easy way to record radio
broadcasts. It's like a "TiVo DVR" for the radio. Just pick your
favorite radio show, or select a station and a time range, and Replay
Radio records it for you. Hundreds of shows and stations are
pre-programmed, making recording as easy as point and click."

badly on Friday, I couldn't even stand up Saturday morning. More on

As if the pain in my neck and shoulders wasn't bad enough, I'm
trying my best not to get sick, now. I think it's just the dry air

I just wanted to point out that PHPCon is now just a few weeks away
(October 24 - 25) and I'll be there talking on security and
programming practices for PHP. I asked Monica (my contact) about
discounts for readers of this blog and she indicated that their
discount structure is as follows:
Non profits
Students
Groups -- if you can get a group of people together then discounts are
available.
So if you can get a group together then contact Monica at mktgevents
dot com. I did confirm that everyone who attends will be getting the
first issue of the new PHP Journal (which looks damn good and since
Jeremy is involved, I know will be good). For more on PHPCon:
And here's the "official text" in it's unvarnished, unmangled by me
