I roadtripped to North Carolina today to do lunch with some of the RTP bloggers. Excellent food and great conversation. I also did some last minute (except for me it’s just getting started) xmas shopping this evening. Instead of any real content, here are a bunch of things that I need to read in detail:
- Michael J. Radwin: “YHOO is buying INKT”
- Slashdot (and the rest of the planet) announced Red Hat 8.0.96, codenamed Phoebe. XFree updates, Moz 1.2.1, and glibc-2.3.1 seem to be the major points here.
- Sean & Scott install .NET Server RC2 using VMWare, with Sam Gentile‘s help. (I’m downloading RC2 myself right now, will try to throw it on a lonely box when I get a chance)
- Chris Gulker digs further into weblog statistics.
- DSpace 1.0.1 is released. “DSpace, currently in use at MIT Libraries, is a Java-based Open Source digital library system designed for scalability, and the long-term preservation of data (such as books, documents, and multimedia publications).”
- Rick Klau is making me drool over the Matrix sequels.
- Learn MIDP (J2ME) with a game. Mental note: I need to download the wireless toolkit, as it is much sexier than the barebones SDK.
- There is a fullblown service called Wapblogger which allows you to do much more than my whipped together WAPBlog script.
- Sadness: Joe Strummer of The Clash has died.
- Silicon.com reports that IBM is releasing its “Storage Tank” as open source.
