Every time I chat with Kenneth Hunt, it’s like a realtime weblogging linkfest experience.
Kenneth jogged my memory about LinuxWorld Expo. I spoke to a couple of Sun guys pimping JXTA software, and they showed me a really slick Groove-like collab app. It’s called Momentum by InView Software. It’s not quite as portable as the Sun guys led me to believe, it’s currently only available for Windows, though a Linux version is due out soon. Theoretically it should run on any platform with a decent JRE. It could even run on OSX in theory.
When I really get serious about learning Japanese, Kenneth suggests Pimsleur.
He also motivated me into playing around with speex and speexdec. Pretty amazing for the crazy compression rates.
