Blogging is just the start. Much more can fill niches in the ecosystem with this machine readable web. Free speech (spoken, written), searching for relevant materials, information flow, relationships. Incidentally, I would have had better luck finding your comments had you had your own blogs and tracked back to other blogging stories than I had looking in these comments.
As for the conference its the most open and accessible I know of with live audio, active IRC rooms, a wiki, audio available afterwords and no vendor advertising. They even put the IRC window up on screen at times. And its held on the weekends so I can attend virtually.
Anyhow I just wanted to represent - oh and try podcasting if you haven't it's the shiznat. Peace out.
Why don't we tie categories into it using XML, RDF and RSS and stuff like that - that way stuff you save on your hard drive could mirror stuff on the web like DMOZ and could be published and subscribed to and be "peer to peer" and everything would tie into a nice neat ball and then we could move on to world famine or something...
I downloaded software from both Symantec and Userland who both off loaded the download to a third party. Believe it is Digital River. It made it easy for them and provided all the things I needed as an end user to make the experience satisifying.
Exactly. I did my house with two spools of 1000 feet of cat6something ($120) each spool (the standard wasn't nailed down but it looked rated to 1 gig) almost 2 years ago. With 2 seperate spools its easy to pull 2 drops to each place. They practically had cat7 stuff out which is capable of huge amounts of data. I mean I worked in a lab once and transferred data on a scsi system. I did one by copying the data from one scsi hard drive to the other in the same machine. I did another by copying over 100mbs cat5 between 2 similar machines. There was hardly any difference in copy time. What I'm saying is for a home network its fast as you need. Especially if you put a switch in your garage instead of a normal hub. Also I didn't use the phone drops. We just dropped down from the wall mounts, drilled through the floor and 2x4's into the crawl space under the house. Then ran the stuff through the punch out holes used for pipes and stuff in the beams under the floor and drilled up into the garage for the patch panel and put in a cute little 3 foot rack. for the patch panel and hub. Also I think you can get converters from cat cable to like coax for things like cable tv. You'll need 1 hefty drill, one pretty good sized bit, patch panel, cable, standard electrical boxes, faceplates, faceplate recepticals, patch panel, hub, my hub and patch panel were each 24 ports, some of my friends have wall mounted patch panels, I just chose the rack. Little velcro ties are nice for bundling cable, then you need like little cable anchors for under the house. And to top it all off, if that doesnt set you for life, think of 10-20 years from now. There will probably be some extremely fast wireless protocols going around. And since most houses haven't made the provisions you have they will use those. We did all the work in the evening between the electrical installation and the insulation. Good luck.
I'm a practicing computer scientist, but I got my degree in mechanical engineering. I could have done better gradewise had my heart been into it - instead I paroused the vast libraries available - discovered all these cool programming paradigms such as evolutionary algorithms, subsumption architechure, evolvable hardware - saw how they could relate to engineering design. I "wasted" more time in those libraries but I wouldn't trade that time discovering my interests for a higher gpa. Nietszche said something about the best work being the kind that absorbs you as play does a child. Go for it - follow your instincts.
Yeah but you don't want an application that is easy to run and use. Otherwise you will have NAPSTER and you'll get shutdown. The more diversity the better for that reason alone.

You mean you're not the sysadmin too???

No Java? What's the point?
Can you spell sarcasm?

Look into the model, view, controller paradigm. It seems this is well suited toward OOP and could apply to a variety of mechanical systems.

The point of web services it to get through firewalls.
