Off to Lake Constance, chris blogs and Anarchaia are not going to be updated until August 15, have fun even though.
Novell to open-source Suse, how could I only miss that?
Syn, a magazine for synaesthetes.
Mountain visualizes a person’s email archive in terms of all the people with whom this person has been in touch over the years. They do lots of nice visualization stuff at MIT.
Bits of OSCON by Roger Weeks. OK, this is a really nice collection of quotes.
Trivial Text Messaging Protocol by Brian McCallister. If they quickly get a spec out and good implementations for common languages, this “trivial” thing could get quite successful. Make things easier—not more complicated.

Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine.
— Bob Dylan, Someone’s Got A Hold Of My Heart
OSCON Day 3: HTTP Caching by Robert Kaye. It’s always the “easy” things that are so difficult.
A vector processing language in Lisp, Joel Reymont aims at writing one. IMHO, CLOS support for multi-method dispatch allows for great optimization, given declared types.
DBGP, a common debugger protocol for languages and debugger UI communication. Developed by ActiveState.
Please, please give me indication
Stop and talk to me
Like a river that is flowing
My love will never cease to be.
— Bob Dylan, Coming From The Heart
RRDtool, Some call it the industry standard data logging and graphing application. Others use it to write their very own full custom monitoring scripts. Looks very useful.
Rio: Ruby I/O Comfort Class, Interesting syntax, convenient API. I’d prefer ‘>>’ over ‘>’, though.
How do you own a small business? Start with a big business! — Randal Schwartz
Crossing the Rubicon by mirleid. Without agile processes, you already lost anyway.
Presentation files of OSCON 2005. I guess I know what I do today.
