Great. The new Blogger publish feature just broke all my archives. And I have no time to fix them....

I've never been much of a fan of Novell, but I might like it better if I could run it on Linux. In the area public schools, Novell is king. I'm often amazed at the lack of interest in or even knowledge of open source alternatives exhibited by public school technology departments. Of course, Microsoft has been courting the public schools for a long time, so it makes sense. But you'd think a few would be rolling out Linux.

Linus Torvalds interviewed on the current nonsense concerning SCO's bogus lawsuit against IBM over Unix patent violations.
I've used Babylon Chat in the past as a replacement for Net Meeting. Looking forward to checking out the latest version. Babylon is the only decent, open source, shared whiteboard program I've found.

I've been super-duper swamped lately with the summer technology camp that I run and teach. So, sorry to my regular readers (all three or four of you) for the lack of posts.
I've know of javablogs.com for a while now, but I just recently started reading it regularly.
It was cool to hear a full-length story yesterday about google.com on npr. Google is, perhaps, the best example of a dot-com success story. And no small part of their success is due, IMHO, to their empasis on minimalist web design. Congrats to google on a job well done.
Hey, cool: v-2.org decides to stick around a while.

I've been working with Flash MX a lot these days. And the more I work with it, the more I keep stumbling across ways to integrate it with PHP. Here are a few more alternatives to Flash Remoting: amfphp.org and Carbon Connector. Along with that, you might be interested in ming, which lets you generate swf's with PHP (seems really slow, though).

Not long back, I was trying to discover what Shakespeare play contains the phrase, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scored." The subsequent internet goose chase revealed that Shakespeare never said it, at least not in any of his published works. The phrase comes from The Mourning Bride by another famous British playwright, William Congreve:
"Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
Many thanks to RalphKeyes.com for pointing this out. Here are some Congreve quotations at Bartleby.com.

It's nice to see that Ron Velosky's Sight Reading for the Bass is available again (BassPlayer magazine reviewied it this month, as well). Mr. Velosky, before his untimely death, was kind enough to send me a review copy several years ago and I found it to be a wonderfully comprehensive method, easily the best I'd tried. Highly reccomended.
Caught 25th Hour and Hit Me recently. Have been really enjoying Joshua Davis' Flash to the Core and Miles Davis' Round About Midnight.
