Nat Demos Dashboard
pheared writes "Nat Friedman from Ximian gave a fairly in depth, quite hilarious (got embarrassing screensaver?), and somewhat impromptu, talk about his project "Dashboard" at OLS. From his blog: "The dashboard is a piece of software which performs a continous, automatic search of your personal information space to show you things in your life that are related to whatever you happen to be doing with your computer at the time." Neat stuff, but I don't think I will be warming up to Mono and C# any time soon."
What I really want to know now is, what was his screensaver??
Speaking, of which, where have you been man? I haven't seen you on K5 since Christ was a cowboy. But then, I guess I haven't bothered posting much either lately, so who am I to talk
While I personally couldn't give a stuff if something is implemented in C#, C++, C, Java or Brainfuck, if I was an OSS developer I would at least have used some of my grey cells to think about what the real meaning of the SCO FUD and Bill Gate's yakking on about Microsoft patents being in OSS. If Mono ever get's to the point that it or applications built with it threaten any part of Microsoft's server or client market you can be sure that MS will start, at the very least, a FUD campaign warning of MS patent's being used in those applications, thereby torpedoing the market by frightening PHB's into submission.
