Monkinetic Weblog

Chatting with Cam Barrett, he brought up a point I had not thought of... He postulates that by switching to Intel CPUs, |Apple| could be the only computer maker to be able to offer hardware that could dual-boot Mac OS X / Windows. Eeeeenteresting. Would make my life easier as a developer.

|Dave Winer| said he was going to have an exclusive after the SteveNote.

|Jodi| and I are re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia for the nth time. In preparation, of course, for Dec 9th.

Like the rest of the Apple/Mac world, I'm waiting for the WWDC SteveNote. What will His Steveness, Dark Lord of the Black Turtleneck unveil? How many Bothans have died to bring us the Apple/Intel rumors? Will the sacrifice be in vain?

So I'm driving to work this morning and I realize that I'm missing my weblog! In the last month I've posted 6 times, and that's simply lousy. Posting here used to be a three-times-daily prescription, and I think I need to get my prescription refilled.

Update: Position no longer available

New Phone + New OS = iSync happiness!

From an iChat today:

Brad: now if only Expose was available "outside" of your computer??

Me: lol

Brad: Diamondbacks game, 70 people in line in front of you...

Brad: F11

Brad: traffic on the 101 during rush hour

Brad: F11

I don't care if the name "Rendezvous" was patented or trademarked or protected by whatever-the-hell lawyerly evil could be done, I will never call it Bonjour.

I'm just beginning to work on my own GTD system, and I'm using OmniOutliner 3 Pro for a good part of my action list management. Since David (Allen, author of ::amazon("0142000280/merlinsblog-20","Getting Things Done")::) recommends using your calendar to manage the hard landscape, I have appointments and such in iCal.

To try out.

I'm also reading The eMyth Revisited, on the advice of my father, who has navigated the entrepreneurial waters for most of my life.

I've got a bee in my bonnet to figure out a good way to implement a simple tagging scheme like the one used by del.icio.us. My particular question is, is it better to leave the tags in a text field and union them on the fly, or do some sort of pre-processing into an intermediate state before querying them?

Because I'm always trying and failing to get things done, I'm investigating the latest in productivity memes. Gad, I'll try just about anything if it'll help.

Link so I can find it again in the future: Jason Deraleau, setting up a couple kinds of DHCP servers to serve LDAP connection information to OS X clients.
