I live.
I live.
COMDEX down, CES to go... Hopefully, CES will be a little
less hectic -- not likely though. Things have actually
slowed down, but I had to cancel a 9-
mo. planned vacation to Vegas to do so. Sucks.
The
upside was that I did get to spend time in Vegas at COMDEX
(thus hanging out with the extremely cool Helix Code
dudes),
even though I didn't have any fun b/c I thought I
was going back in two weeks...now I get to go again for
CES, albeit without my wife, and to spend 14-hr days in a
booth.
On the bright side, the payoff is getting to
go
to Deutschland for CeBit later next
year...
...maybe I'll rent
a BMW and tour the AutoBahn...
Ah...another year, another COMDEX. This one showed more
evolutionary technology than revolutionary. I
liked the focus on wireless, and the "connected home"
though.
I hung out with some rad guys from Helix
Code, and hopefully we should be collaborating soon on some
really neat stuff.
Ah...my cable modem is fixed again. Seems that AT&T got
it's wires crossed (pun intended) and thought I was stealing
cable modem service and disconnected me. Since I
AM a paying customer, they hooked me back up
and are not charging me for downtime. I like
that...
22Mbps downstream is cool...
A weekend without ever being in front of a computer -- a rarity for me as of late.
It's amazing how many in-roads Linux is making into the
embedded device market.
Between Linux on OS/390 and Linux on the Yopi, a "Linux
Everywhere" attitude is starting to make sense.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
