Critical Section - The Tyranny of Email — how to avoid being interrupted by email. Tags: devel email productivity.
I’ve been applying this for a while. I only get mail when I hit ‘g’ in
gnus, and I’ve tuned Miranda to be as unobtrusive as I can. Sadly, my job consists of monitoring email and phone calls, so I’m not in the zone as much as I’d like.I do take care not to disturb co-workers though, preferring to send an email to a person who’s sitting 2 metres away from me rather than disturbing him.

ACM Queue: an interview with Alan Kay
If you look at software today, through the lens of the history of engineering, it’s certainly engineering of a sort—but it’s the kind of engineering that people without the concept of the arch did. Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.

Mike: SymbianOS 9.
Of course the network operators aren’t going to like it very much, and the existing manufacturers view it as a threat. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t the right direction long term. That doesn’t mean it’s not the best outcome for the end users. Everyone is thinking within the framework of the existing business models, and that’s pretty sad.

Henning: Goodbye TrackBack, I barely knew thee.
Now this is just the latest symptom of an issue I’ve been wondering about for some time. When weblogging became the hip thing to do some years ago, we already had newsgroups, forums and guestbooks burried under truckloads of spam for viagra and animal porn. Even the worst web programming tutorials began with a two page indoctrination about how you should always assume that every user could be satan himself. And yet the way comments and trackbacks have been implemented up to the present day is just crying for abuse. “Not having learned from past mistakes” doesn’t come close to what has happened here.

Maciej: Postmodern Pancakes
Through the night, I kept waiting for the true blizzard to set in, the part where the air grows fat with flakes, and the wind whips the snow around so that you can’t even see across the street. But instead, the thin trickle kept on, piling up slowly on the street and on the cars parked along it. Sometime towards one in the morning, the accumulated weight of the snow started setting off car alarms, which wailed softly through the thick white blanket, shielded by the snow from any terminating signals from a faraway remote control, until at length the car batteries died, and all was peaceful and quiet.
