01/30 Continuing coverage of Demo 2008 — Yesterday was a busy day! I saw lots of excellent products and ideas. I don’t know how useful the Liveblog was for y’all, but it was a handy way to have me take notes and concentrate on what was happening.

01/27 Dapper: A very cool service — It’s a little hard to explain and I didn’t manage to get it working myself yet, but still I am highly intrigued with Dapper. Dapper‘s tag line is: > “Get more traffic to your site. Easily provide new means for people to access your content (such as RSS).

I think there may be a lot more to it and I intend to spend the time to learn all about it. Here’s a really excellent screencast showing how Dapper works.

01/21 Facebook Applications: Where they live — I’ve been learning and thinking about Facebook applications, which everyone else is also writing and thinking about… I will be posting about some of the interesting facts and insights as they come up.

01/15 [GEEKY] What every programmer should know about … — It’s just the title of this post that caught my eye: “What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory, Part 1″: > “[snip…]The original document prints out at over 100 pages. We will be splitting it into about seven segments, each run 1-2 weeks after its predecessor. Once the entire series is out, Ulrich will be releasing the full text.[…snip…]” (from LWN.NET) I don’t know about you, but it may be just a little bit more than I want to know about memory 🙂
