It also inspired me to keep on with my current tinkering project goal (which let me tell you, is way beyond my limited abilities): getting an Epson HX-20 laptop online via serial cable -> IR -> cellphone. Of course, I've got to buy a working HX-20 first, and every time I mention it on here, you bastards go out and outbid me on all the eBay sales. Stop that.

It is real-time reportage focusing around the great transition from pre- to post-Cold War that happened so unimaginably fast, starting in 1989, before our watching eyes. But the History of the Present is what bloggers are writing, too; and Ash says some things that anyone who’s doing it should consider very carefully...

The resulting introspection persuaded Gates to stand aside as chief executive in favor of Steve Ballmer, who would be his partner in remaking the company."The number of misstatements in just these two sentences is fairly amazing.

[more inside] Own a Piece of HistoryOwn a Piece of History 01/05/2005 07:05 PM It’s finally time. I’m ready to part with my T reo 600 now that I’m set up on the new T reo 650. My first 600 had problems that caused it to frequently reset itself. I didn’t realize this until I got the replacement 600, which is much more stable. So I’m selling the Treo 600 (for Sprint’s network), a case, and a keyboard for $250. If you’re interested in owning the device that started the infamous What’s on My Treo 600 page, email or IM me (cybrarygal on AIM). Interesting tangent: I thought Kate’s 19–year old daughter Clare would want it for Christmas, but she says no. Even though she’s all about messaging (which is why I thought the keyboard and full IM capability would be a no-brainer for her), she says it’s too big. She’d rather have something she can easily fold over clamshell-style and fit in her pocket. She truly would rather text message using a phone dialpad than carry a larger phone. Go figure.

"Moments In Love" is a wonderful aural history of chillout and ambient
music, hosted by Chris Coco. The hour-long BBC Radio 2 documentary
covers a tremendous amount of material, from Erik Satie to Brian Eno
to Air.
"Chillout is a state of mind. It's making space in your head to enjoy the setting and the sounds. It's a long drink on a long sunny day. It's a moment taken to appreciate the beauty of the simplest things. And it's even better with a decent soundtrack."The link on the "Moments In Love" page to the archived program is incorrect, but here's the correct one. Link (Thanks, Morris!)

Chris posted back in March about the progenitor of this chart, Éric Lévénez's Computer Languages History, which is kept very up to date (it already has yesterday's PHP 5.0 release). A few interesting tidbits from the chart:
Equally interesting are the graphs that show the giant UNIX history hairball, as well as the slightly more organized history of Windows. If I can find a big enough wall, I'm going to send that history of UNIX diagram to the roll-fed plotter we use for UML hairballs.
