Observations

~>

Matt arrives safely in Kansas: 

<Matt770> It is fscking cold

~>

Happy birthday, Erik!

Mike Arrington gets the kiss of death from DaveW. Beware, Adam Curry is now persona non grata with the Davester, in spite of earlier praise.

~>

In T9, ‘scoble’ is ‘ramble’.

It sucks that you cannot mark items as “Keep new” in Bloglines mobile, using the default browser on the 6630.

James Robertsson, Pity the PR Professional:

I, like many others, have grown tired and weary of the self-satisfied, holier than thou, “A-list bloggers” who believe they hold disproportionate sway on the matters of the day.

Isn’t it weird that MS VPN support under Unix is better in some ways than under Windows? I mean, you can configure your routing in Unix, I’ve yet to find out how to prevent my BT traffic to go via the corporate servers when using WinXP.

Note, I said “better” above, not simpler.

“Command & Conquer: Generals” is even more USA-tastic than the previous incarnations. At least you have a fighting chance as playing as the “terrorists”. I started with China though, gotta love that holdover Soviet vibe they have in the game.

Google Base is the next Orkut.

Rui:

Had a very productive work day (mostly due to the fact that an internal event whisked away a whole team and it was way quieter than average).

[…] Which leads me to the conclusion that whoever came up with the asinine theory that open-space offices make people more productive must have been ignored (or, more likely, snubbed) by his/her colleagues every day.

Update 2005-11-19: Scoble corrects the third observation above.

Huh? Dave and I are still good friends. Don't know where you got the idea that we weren't.

I apologise. I have edited the post.

Thanks for taking the time to correct me :-)
