A couple of weeks ago I was in Chicago for the Eclipse Board meeting. Afterward i went with one of my friends to see Barrelhouse Chuck "and friends" at Rosa's Lounge. It was great. Rosa herself was behind the bar, and Barrelhouse's friends included Pete Crawford, Katherine Davis, and Eiko, who took over on piano while Chuck sang a couple of songs.

Gunnar Peterson posted a review of the SOA book I wrote with Greg Lomow, and also put it on the book's Amazon page. Thanks, Gunnar! I hear from many people privately about the book, and that's always great, of course, but I really appreciate it when someone takes the trouble to post a public comment or review.

Rafat Ali over at PaidContent is today making the point that Web 2.0 bubble stories are already beginning to appear.I’m not so convinced but the pattern that’s emerging is that advertising...

It's a seriously dumb list: A federal inspector general has analyzed the nation's database of top terrorist targets. There are more than 77,000 of them -- up from 160 a few years ago, before the entire exercise morphed into a congressional porkfest. And on that list of national assets are ... 1,305 casinos! No doubt Muckleshoot made the cut (along with every other casino in our state).

Computer Business Review has an interesting review of the United States Department of Defense report “Open Technology Development“. [PDF] If you haven’t read it, you need to take a look. It is one of the most clear-sighted documents on open source that I’ve yet read, and should banish CIO doubts as to the...

Over the weekend Ed Vielmetti pointed out to me that Zooomr had been under a DDoS attack as they were preparing to roll out their 2.0 site. As discussed on their blog, the Zooomr guys describe what’s going on (well, in very limited detail):Well that’s how it feels when you work really hard for something...

Back in November 2005, Bruce Schneier wrote about a Western Union-related fraud. This week, I was exposed to some of the techniques used by eBay sub-geniuses and their use of Western Union. I deal primarily in buying and selling rare and hard-to-find comics on eBay, which doesn’t see much fraud activity, and as a result...

HD Moore recently released a malware search engine. Dan Hubbard and the team at Websense, frustrated that they didn’t get a copy of the code (evidently all he had to do was ask …), wrote their own. I actually prefer Dan’s implementation, as it uses a couple of different ideas, however I prefer the results...
