Welcome to the OpenSocial

Okay, I couldn’t help myself.

Just read this, and like every single other blog in the world, and you’ll see what the heck is going on.

Oh, but it seems like it’s not really the release, but more likely an announcement that’s coming on Thursday.

And that ends the week long vacation from the blog. Time to write like a banshee.

Why Did I Just Post This?

I love packed days. I feel like I’m going to have a very good night’s rest tonight because of it.

Of course, today’s invigorating schedule was brought on by this weekend. Spending some quality times with some quality people helped me refocus and figure out a lot of things in my life. As if that is something new to report… so much to learn about this thing called “life”.

Whew. Time flew by. Good night, world.

A Storm’s Coming

This weekend is going to be key.

That’s all I’ve got to say about that. Stay tuned.

Why I HAVE to use Git from now on…

I love seeing these technology leaders speak, even though not in person. First it was Sergey Brin, now, through the advent of YouTube, Linus Torvalds himself.

Yes, there’s an upside to the Internet video madness. All that VC money at hard work.

And man, he’s so very “strongly opinionated”. Codeword for: a jerk. He’s like David Heinemeier Hansson in this regard. “Opinionated” is the euphemism I’d use, but then again, they themselves wouldn’t tolerate that bullcrap. But they have a reason to be so opinionated… they wrote the book(s) on it. Literally.

Now, Torvalds makes very valid points. Almost… too valid. After all, he is the father of the Linux kernel, and heads one of the largest distributed open source project out there. He knows what is needed in this arena, and so I’m happy to have seen this clip.

And so… time to look into this git business.

EDIT: Version Control and “the 80%”

Why are my Reddit links not links in Google Reader?

Is it just me, or is something going on with Reddit or Google Reader? I tested it with Camino and Firefox on a Mac.

Reddit isn’t acting wonky… nor is Google Reader in any other aspect… weird.

Anyone else having issues with the heading for each item not being a link?
